Maroon 5 Release New Song "Animals" and Announced as Performers at 2014 MTV VMA Awards Along with Taylor Swift, Ariana Grander, Usher & More (VIDEO)
Maroon 5 have released their second song off of their upcoming new album V. The song is titled "Animals" and is pretty bland lyrically and musically. The new track was produced by Benny Blanco and Shellback. You can listen to the song above.
Also, musically I keep waiting for them to return to their more beat oriented roots, where they came out with killer pop songs based around funk style beats and music walks. Unfortunately it appears that they will not get back to that sound that made them so unique.
The 2014 MTV Video Music Awards have revealed that Maroon 5 will be performing at the 2014 MTV VMA's airing at the end of the month.
"We are so excited about our upcoming new album and to be part of the great VMA lineup this year. It is our first time doing the show and we are thrilled to be on it performing our new single," Adam said in a statement (via the band's Facebook page).
Maroon 5 joins Taylor Swift as the two most recent performer additions for the Video Music Awards. Other performers already announced include Usher, Ariana Grande and 5 Seconds of Summer.
The 2014 MTV Video Music Awards will air live on MTV on Aug. 24 at 9 p.m. from The Forum in Inglewood, California.
Maroon 5's new album V set to release on October 2nd will follow up to the band's popular 2012 album Overexposed, which features the smash singles "Payphone" and "One More Night."
Their singer, Adam Levine, has gained more national spotlight the last few years as one of the coaches/judges on the popular TV singing competition show "The Voice" on NBC. Adam has been on "The Voce" since it began, Season 7 will air this Fall on NBC.
They captured the Grammy Awards for "Best New Artist" in 2005 and have gone on to sell more than 17 million albums worldwide. Maroon 5's releases have gone gold and platinum in over 35 countries.
