LOS ANGELES, May 10th, 2010 — GRAMMY^® winning recording artist Maroon 5 is back with their highly anticipated third studio album, Hands All Over(A&M/Octone), set for release on September 21. Produced by rock studio legend Robert John "Mutt" Lange (AC/DC, Def Leppard, The Cars), Hands All Over is a killer hybrid of rock, pop, funk and R&B. In addition, the album's first single will impact radio on June 28. Following the release of the single, Maroon 5 has announced plans for a summer concert tour that will encompass nearly 30 dates by the end of the summer. The tour is set to kick off on July 30 and will feature a rotating group of special guests including Owl City, Guster, Kris Allen, VV Brown and Ry Cuming. MAROON 5 S.I.N. Club ticket pre-sales begin Tuesday, May 11, with general public on-sales beginning Friday, May 14.

Maroon 5 began writing the songs that appear on Hands All Over after winding down from a world tour in support of their 2007 studio release, It Won't Be Soon Before Long. Several months later, the band received a phone call from Lange, who had heard that the band was beginning to write a new album, and expressed an interest in producing it.

"We didn't even talk to anyone else," Adam Levine, Maroon 5's frontman says. "Mutt is undeniably one of the most successful producers who's ever lived."

Jesse Carmichael, the band's keyboardist, added, "Mutt really helped us play to the best of our ability. And it drove us to be bigger and better than ever."

The result is Hands All Over, a monumental record chock full of buoyant, unforgettable melodies. Recorded at Lange's Switzerland studio, the members of Maroon 5 locked themselves in the mountains to patiently craft their latest effort. Starting with the hard-rocking title track, the album's 15 tracks take several intoxicating twists and turns including such compositions as "Out of Goodbyes," a stunning country ballad infused with musical and vocal contributions from Nashville chart-toppers Lady Antebellum. Long-time fans will get a thrill out of "Misery," with its funky guitars and high-stepping melody, as well as the propulsive "Stutter," melody rich "Give A Little More" and "Don't Know Much About That," which professes a classic soulful vibe.
