Maroon 5's new single is quite awful:

stream it here

Check out the premiere of Maroon 5‘s brand-new single “Payphone” featuring Wiz Khalifa! The track will serve as the first official single off their fourth studio album, Overexposed, due out June 26th. The upbeat number produced by Shellback and Benny Blanco made its radio debut this morning and will be released tomorrow (April 17). “Payphone” is dance-flavored pop track with smooth vocals from front-man Adam Levine and a slick verse from Khalifa. The song definitely has much more radio-ready edge than previous lead singles from the band but it doesn’t stretch too far from what we’re already use to. Undeniable hit. What do you guys think?

As a fan of pop music and a fan of Maroon 5 even I can tell you that this shit stinks.

It sounds like typical Ryan Tedder (or whatever his name is). Did he do this song?

Sounds exactly like a Maroon 5 song to me. Not bad. Not great. It's just there, being inoffensive and irrelevent and looking very beige with the flavor of oatmeal.

I thought I was the only one thinking that. I couldn't make it past the chorus.

Ive never been able to get into this band and its all because of his voice, but i tried and that drum beat is so overused in so many tracks i cant get into them

On first listen, it's worse than "Moves Like Jagger." They seem to be moving in the wrong direction. disbelief

Hold tight. A remix feat. Katy Perry will be along any minute.

She's the only one they haven't used yet, right?
