Longevity is a goal that a lot of artists hope for in the span of their music career. Over time, artists reinvent themselves or create music over multiple genres in order to increase their reach to fans. This sometimes can make or break an artist. One band that continues to extend their musical repertoire is Maroon 5.
The Pop-Rock band led by vocalist, Adam Levine has been known to collaborate with some of music’s biggest artists in Pop, R&B and Hip-Hop including Cardi B, Christina Aguilera, Wiz Khalifa & SZA. As the band approaches 20 years in the music industry, they have built up quite the catalogue filled with some of your favorite songs of all time. This past week, Maroon 5 returns to release their first single, Beautiful Mistakes featuring Megan Thee Stallion off their upcoming seventh album.
The song finds both artists depicting relationship issues and their need for respect from their significant other. The feature from Megan Thee Stallion is interesting as it shows a departure from the rapper’s traditional sound for a melodic one expanding her artistry. Adam Levine complements her rapping and singing skills over the guitar driven instrumental.
Beautiful Mistakes has just thrown its hat in the ring for Song of the Summer. As the weather warms up, I can bet we will hear this song blast all over the airwaves soon. Maroon 5 has a knack for bringing together artists for big collabs and I can’t wait to see what will come of them on their upcoming project. You can download Beautiful Mistakes on all major streaming services.
Beautiful Mistakes (Inspired by the song of the same name)
You used to reside in my head
Now you faded away into memories
Wish I showed you the wrath
But that would be a sin to me
Turned into an enemy
Masked by saying you’re into me
Took the straight jacket off
You not attached to me mentally
Lips magical like poetry
The way your heart spoke to me
I thank you for the dreams
But now you’ve awoken me
Up and when I’m up
Staying up like I’m a stuck
You tried your luck
And it sucked
Glad I ducked
Feeling fucked
It’s beautiful to see
You weren’t a mistake
You had lessons to give
And I had to take
Mannequin feelings
Dressed in passion
So fake
Now look at you
Eating regret off your plate
