Maroon 5 teams up with rapper Wiz Khalifa for “Payphone,” a new single lifted from the Pop/Rock group’s upcoming album “Overexposed,” which is set for release next month on June 26th.

In the Sam Bayer directed video, Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine starts out as a clean-cut and somewhat heroic bank employee … but eventually turns into a dirty, wounded fugitive leading police on a high speed chase down a desert road in a snazzy convertible he stole from Wiz Khalifa.

Watch below:

Maroon 5 and Foster the People rocked the Grammys last night as they performed with The Beach Boys.

Things kicked off with Maroon 5 performing a rendition of “Little Surfer Girl.” Next up came Foster the People, who sang “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” before The Beach Boys themselves came on stage for a big group performance of “Group Vibrations,” with Adam Levine and FTP singing along right beside them.

Maroon 5 gave a performance of their hit “Moves Like Jagger” during the 2011 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which aired on CBS Tuesday night (Nov 29).

At one point during the performance, the band’s lead singer Adam Levine breaks away from the group when his girlfriend, Victoria’s Secret model Anne V, hits the runway … and the pair walk hand-in-hand down the catwalk just before Levine plants a kiss on her cheek. (Aww!)

Watch the performance below:

Following an introduction from Bruno Mars, Adam Levine and Maroon 5 shared the stage with an EXTREMELY curvaceous Christina Aguilera (who wore a skin-tight dress) Sunday Night (Nov 20) at the 2011 American Music Awards in L.A. as the group performed their “Moves Like Jagger” single.

After they finished performing “Moves Like Jagger,” Levine broke from the band and joined Gym Class Heroes for a performance of their single “Stereo Hearts.”

Watch below:

Rappers Kanye West, Jay-Z and Nicki Minaj, as well as rock band Maroon 5, all lended their musical talents to the runway of the 2011 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, held last Wednesday (Nov 9) in New York.

After performing his hit “Stronger” and dedicating it to his mom, the late Donda West, who he called his “superangel,” Kanye West was joined onstage by Jay-Z for their first televised performance of “N**gas In Paris,” the next single from their collaboration album “Watch the Throne.”

Next came Maroon 5, who performed their hit “Moves Like Jagger” as the models strutted their stuff down the runway.

Front-man Adam Levine broke away from the band when his girlfriend Anne V. hit the runway, and he serenaded her as the pair walked hand-in-hand down the catwalk.

And last but not least was femcee Nicki Minaj, who helped close out the show with a performance of her hit single “Super Bass.”

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show will air on Tuesday, November 29th at 10 pm ET on CBS.

Maroon 5 show off their “Moves Like Jagger” in their newest music video release, which features appearances from the tracks’s featured artist (and Adam Levine‘s “The Voice” co-star) Christina Aguilera and vintage video footage of Mick Jagger himself.

Christina Aguilera and a shirtless Adam Levine shot the video for the latest Maroon 5 single “Moves Like Jagger” in Los Angeles Friday (Jul 8).

Directed by Jonas Akerlund (whose directing credits also include Lady Gaga’s “Telephone”), the music video will also feature an appearance from rock legend Mick Jagger.

The 16th Annual VH1 Critics’ Choice Movie Awards was held Friday night (Jan 14) at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, and stars like Justin Bieber, Kim & Khloe Kardashian, Amber Rose, Keri Hilson, Lala Vazquez, Mila Kunis, Natalie Portman and more all showed up to walk the red carpet before the event.

Inside, Keri Hilson took to the stage and performed “Son of a Preacher Man” from the movie “Pulp Fiction” in a special tribute to film director Quentin Tarantino. Maroon 5‘s Adam Levine also performed on stage during the show.

Other celebs who attended the 2011 CCMAs included Ashton Kutcher, Ice Cube, John Legend, Jesse Eisenberg (from “The Social Network”) and more.

Your thoughts on the pics?

Rihanna performed two songs on FNMTV (Friday Night MTV) that premieres new performance every friday on MTV. Rihanna performed her latest single, “Take A Bow” and “If I Never See Your Face Again” duet with Maroon 5.

Here’s the T2W premiere of Maroon 5‘s single, “If I Never See Your Face Again” featuring RIhanna, which will be on the re-releases of Maroon 5′s, It Won’t Be Soon Before Long (A&M/Octone) and RIhanna’s Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded (Def Jam). In Stores June 17th!

Two, amongst a host, of my favourite singers fuse together for the ultimate collaboration! If I Never See Your Face Again by Maroon 5 featuring Rihanna will be a single, and added installment, to both artist’s albums re-releasing later this year. If I Never See Your Face Again was one of the many favourite tracks from It Won’t Be Soon Before Long, with it’s deep Prince influence, so I’m glad they’re releasing it as a single; Rihanna being a plus! The song is basically about having one night stands with your Ex, which is relative especially when your desperate.

Whilst all the promotion of Maroon 5′s latest single release, ‘Goodnight, Goodnight’, they will be releasing a limited edition version of their platinum-selling album It Won’t Be Soon Before Long (Octone) released last year.

The limited edition M5 LP will include all sorts of new material and bonus (US, UK, iTunes) tracks for your listening pleasure like ‘Wake Up Call’ featuring Mary J. Blige. If you liked the original version of M5′s It Won’t Be Soon Before Long then I definitely recommend you downloading/picking up the limited edition. I said it before and I’ll say it again: Maroon 5 is frickin’ gold platinum in my book! They are possibly just one of my favorite bands out there and I’m sure they well accumulate a conglomerate of brand new fans in the coming year, with their tour, and the release of this album especially.

The new material, no different from the old, covers all the stress and abyss that comes with relationships. The production is melodic and alternative – which I adore – the sound M5 is famous for. I love all of the newly added bonuses but my ultimate favourites would definitely have to be ‘Infatuation’, ‘Losing My Mind’ and ‘Story’.

You know the drill, bitches!

Thank you Guawd! “Goodnight, Goodnight” will be the forth new single released from Maroon 5′s Platinum-selling album It Won’t Be Soon Before Long (A&M/Octone). I don’t know if anyone remembers, or have been visiting the site for that long, but I did an album review back in May of last year and was so inspired. I loved the whole album and “Goodnight, Goodnight” was without a doubt one of my favorite songs so I’m amped!

This was another classic from It Won’t Be Soon Before Long (A&M/Octone). Damn, Adam is the only one I know who can rock a V-neck and vest <3.

My Chemical Romance » “Mama” » LISTEN » (Full) » The song “Mama” is set to be My Chemical Romance’s fifth single from the 2006 album, The Black Parade. The video for this single, which was directed by the lead singer of the band, Gerard Way, is slated for release sometime later this year. Love MCR, can’t wait for this video, bet it’ll be highly interesting. That Liza Minnelli guest spot was unexpected.

Maroon 5 feat. Mary J. Blige » “Wake Up Call (Mark Ronson Remix)” » LISTEN » (Full) » You know what? I was shaky on this kind of collaboration, which is like apples and oranges here, but surprisingly, it’s digestible. I love M5 and MJB, so hearing the best of both worlds through my headphones, was ultra sweetness. And you know what, what? I feel this is just perfect, believe it or not. I feel like the tempo is just right and everything just flows so perfectly.

Chris Brown » “This Christmas” » LISTEN » (Full) » Here Chris Brown can be heard doing his own rendition of Hathaway’s “This Christmas” for the film of the same title. I thought I should just go ‘head and post this, since it’s the full quality, and I’m in a cheerful mood, I guess. I don’t know why, but it never really feels like Christmas to me for some reason, I do like this song, though.

Britney Spears » “Piece of Me” » LISTEN » (Full) » I wasn’t too zealous, at first, when I found out “Piece of Me” was going to be the second single when there were so many other great songs to choose from. But now I’ll admit it’s starting to grow on me, subsequently. Besides it’s time that she fight back, so yeah, I’m all for “Piece of Me” now!

Here are a few photos taken of Ciara while she was performing at the Fencing Stadium, Olympic Park in a live show in  Seoul, South Korea. Looks like CiCi is doing big thangs! Peep photos of Mary J Blige and Maroon 5 after the cut!

 

Ciara wasn’t the only one performing overseas! Mary J Blige hit up the Grand West Arena in Cape Town, South Africa for her own live concert.

And last but not least … one of Mike’s favorite groups, Maroon 5, performed in a concert at Atlantis in Nassau Bahamas.
