CALL & RESPONSE: THE REMIX ALBUM will come as a pleasant surprise to anyone who has criticized Maroon 5 in the past for playing it too safe with their radio-friendly adult alternative pop. This isn't to say that the 18 tracks that make up CALL & RESPONSE aren't accessible and pop-minded, but the fresh perspectives brought by the remixers to the project expand the band's usual sonic boundaries considerably.
No one can accuse the album of not being diverse; remixers include ?uestlove of the Roots, Of Montreal, and Pharrell Williams. Of course, Maroon 5's sweet melodies and R&B-influenced grooves are still at the heart of each track, but, thanks to guests as wide-ranging as experimental rockers Deerhoof, electro-pop mavens Cut Copy, and urban contemporary chart queen Rihanna, there's no shortage of new sounds to savor.
Industry Reviews
3.5 stars out of 5 -- Maroon 5, art rockers? These remixes of the group's hits by indie acts like Of Montreal and Deerhoof make the idea seem oddly plausible.
The band enlisted names big and small to get deep into its two-album catalog, and judging from the thoughtfulness of the contributions, they're all pre-existing Maroon fans.
