Maroon 5’s ‘Jordi’ Is More About Bangers Than ‘Memories’: Album Review

is a constant. Since the group’s 2002 debut, Adam Levine and company have thrived in the physical, digital and streaming eras. Almost like clockwork, the band has emerged every two or three years with an all-conquering smash hit followed by a platinum-selling album. Although it’s now been closer to four years since the last album, and nearly two since the hit single “Memories” sent up a first flair for this album, it’s easy to imagine the pattern continuing with the just-released “Jordi.

While the band’s willingness to move with the times can seem overly calculated, they deliver critic-proof hits more often than they have a right to. Songs like “Sugar,” “Girls Like You” and “Memories,” the lead single from “Jordi,” are now part of the pop culture fabric. On the flip side, Maroon 5’s adaptability doesn’t always translate to a cohesive album. Instead of running from that, the band embraces it on “Jordi,” beating their fans to the punch by making a playlist of bangers.

Given the band’s ability to span eras, it’s only fitting that the best tracks on “Jordi” feature artists at two very different ends of the musical spectrum.lends her legendary voice to “Remedy,” a dreamy, ‘80s-inflected earworm that leaves you wanting more. Co-written with Starrah and produced by Boi-1da, this is the closest Nicks has come to a pure pop moment since Fleetwood Mac’s “Tango In The Night.

Of the non-collaborations, highlights include the melodic, Sting-channeling “Lost” and the Mikky Ekko-produced “Lovesick.” Along with 2020’s underrated “Nobody’s Love,” they are a quiet reminder that Maroon 5 doesn’t really need a special guest to make top-shelf, streaming-friendly pop.
