I am very nervous for this new album. It sounds complex, it sounds like it's all over the place. Pop is not deep. Pop is not complex. Pop doesn't have vague lyrics that anyone listening to it can interpret in different ways. Most successful pop songs have minimal lyrics with a catchy hook. Simple. Catchy lyrics with a hook. Nothing against Adam's songwriting but Trespassing was sophisticated pop. Too deep for the pop scene. I was hoping he would have Max Martin and Shellback write the songs and he would show up and sing the hell out of them. Songs by them don't guarantee hits but they know the formula. Hopefully I am wrong in my concern. I just wanted radio ready pop songs that people found catchy and not thought provoking. That they found themselves singing because the song was ear candy. I hate Levine's squirrel voice but I find myself hearing Sugar and Animals in my head after hearing them. Having top notch vocals means squat if the song isn't stuck in your head.Maybe someone here can reassure me. I have the same concern....I also felt the same concern with Trespassing. I sometimes think Adam's writing is to "wordy" for pop music. I think you are right, pop music needs a hook, something that will stick in your head. I think Kickin' In, Naked Love and Runnin where good pop songs from a lyric standpoint. |

When Adam says, "Written for you, not me" it makes me think of WWFM! It was a song anyone could relate to, adults, teens,men, women, anyone. Who hasn't said or thought "Whataya want from me" to someone in their life? Great hook! I still hear people referencing it when they are being funny and singing to someone "Whatya want from me?!!!!!!!!" Perfect example of a great Max Martin song that suited Adam perfectly!

so, we got the main talking points: - "for the audience, not myself". - somewhat eclectic styles (some R&B, some house, pop, not "Queen"=not rock?) - co-wrote all of it w MM, Shelback- TOH is one of the tracks and one of his favorites - the first single is also one of his favorites - there is/are collab(s) on the album what else? I think that might need to be two points. MM & Shellback ex. Produced the album but I am pretty certain they are nopt the only other writers on it. |
