maroon5一直是以摇滚与舞池音乐的结合体,它的成功不仅仅是有温柔动人的抒情摇滚,让人不住舞动身体的音乐节奏,主唱adam嗓音的无限张力与随性!!它们新专辑的大红歌曲payphone深刻的体现一直以来它们的路线,一强一弱的节奏性,歌词对现实的反映,主唱微带灵魂气息与戏剧性的唱腔,加上混合器的制作,动感之外居然还带来一丝夏日的清凉感!此外,歌词写得也十分贴切,那种想要挽回一份感情,对回忆的记忆,拿着电话想打个电话给爱人,却又有些迟疑,简单,但又何尝不是年轻时的我们所做过的一切?!
MV讲述由主唱 亚当·莱文所饰演的银行职员,喜欢上了美女同事。于是他策划了一起抢劫,并企图英雄救美救出女主角。却遭到警察们的疯狂围堵,在他以完美车技使警车互撞爆炸后,满身血污的他站在公共电话厅给女生打电话,对方却没有接·····
片中的男主角由乐队主唱亚当·莱文担任,当他开场在一片狼藉的车祸现场,脱下血迹斑驳的衬衫,露出两膀刺青,忧郁多情地拿起听筒,应时响起的华丽声线,造成的强烈反差瞬间小编就凌乱了!而片中的劫匪就是maroon 5的另外几名成员,片中的黑人则是在歌曲中负责RAP部分的说唱小天王Wiz Khalifa。来自LA的摇滚乐队Maroon 5,中文译名为魔力红乐队。他们确切定位应该是新灵魂摇滚。Maroon 5融合了红色的狂野魅力和神秘热情,再掺入摇滚力道,灵魂乐的旋律及疯克节奏,注定在给乐坛注入一股新血液。
歌曲在 公告牌百强单曲榜中空降第三名,顶峰时曾获得第二名。
