MAKES ME WONDER - MAROON5
Grammy Award-winning 2005 best new artist Maroon5 makes good on the promise of its potential by making a mighty return with daring, playful dance jam “Makes Me Wonder,” which takes on top 40’s resistance to straight-ahead uptempo pop. To say this song is hook-laden is like suggesting that Angelina Jolie has a mild maternal instinct — an understatement of grand proportions. There’s simply not a note that isn’t adhesively alluring. Mirthful beats underlie a depth-filled lyric that hints at broader societal discontent than the surface insinuates: “Give me something to believe in/Cause I don’t believe in you anymore.” The beat conjures Jamiroquai merriment, while lead singer Adam Levine stamps “Wonder” with recognizable punch and exultant harmonies.
