New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Three-time GRAMMY Award winning multiplatinum band
Maroon 5 debuts today the music video for their new hit single "
Memories" via 222 Records/Interscope Records/Universal Music.
Directed by acclaimed director
David Dobkin, who also helmed the band's "
Sugar" and "
Girls Like You" videos, "
Memories" features a stripped down emotional performance of the song by
Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine. Dobkin's combined previous work with
Maroon 5 have totaled over 6 Billion views! The video also features work by acclaimed cinematographer Jeff Cronenweth (David Fincher's Fight Club and The Social Network).
The release of "
Memories" marks the first new music from the Los Angeles band since the release of their global anthem "
Girls Like You" in 2017. Produced by
Adam Levine and The Monsters & Strangerz, as well as Executive Produced by Jacob "J Kash" Hindlin, "
Memories" marks a moment of creative and personal progression for Maroon 5. The minimalist ballad starkly pairs a lilting clean guitar with chantable and evocative lyrics from Levine. In addition to representing another sonic side, it tackles uncharted subject matter for the group— namely loss—but from a different angle. Following its release, "
Memories" debut chart position claimed Maroon 5's 30th Billboard Hot 100 entry and is their 22nd song to land in the top 40 on the chart.
