Maroon 5 is back and unleashed the paint-drenched intimate new music video for their latest song "Love Somebody," the fourth single and one of the more emotional tracks from the American pop rock band's fourth platinum-selling newest studio album, "Overexposed." The band debuted the new song on Wednesday (May 20) night with a performance on NBC's The Voice, and now they set the bars high with their even more amazing and eye candy of a video for "Love Somebody."
Co-written by Levine, Nathaniel Motte of 3OH!3, Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic and producer Noel Zancanella (Demi Lovato, B.o.B.), "Love Somebody." is one of several "Overexposed" tracks that Levine wrote after his two year relationship with the Victoria's Secret model Anne Vyalitsyna ended. The frontman told The Sun: "We could never put out a Maroon 5 record without the love songs as that's why we connect so well with our fans. We have fun, yes, but we speak about things we've all been through at some time."
Consists of piano and guitar, "Love Somebody," is an alternative rock, talks about Levine "feeling so hollow" with a Sly Stone-meets-Eurythmics synth hook. The lyrical theme of the song is a plea for salvation on the dance floor or some other horizontal surface. It's a rare moment where the overhanging production tricks ease up just enough to make for an honest-to-God song with emotion and not just a laser scope aimed at the Billboard charts. It's one of Maroon 5's best yet. The song's video is highly visual, a feast for the eyes as you can watch band's Levine slather a liquid material all over his body, revealing every muscle, and we're still fanning ourselves from how hot the video is!
Directed by Rich Lee, the original, simple and visually stunning video uses the inverse of green screen technology and utilizes an effect that causes band member's body parts to show up as they are covered in a thick, paint-like substance. The very engaging and uncanny-valley-effect-inducing video starred the band performing in a black and blue-goop as signer Levine getting intimate hot, heavy and manages to make messy sexy with a fine lady, model Emily Ratajkowski, as they unveil their painted bodies by touching and caressing their own and each other's blank skin, full of paint naturally. Superb!
