Maroon 5 – It Won’t Be Soon Before Long (Special Edition)
Released on June 29, 2008
Universal Music
Stars: ****.5 out of 5

Those guys from Maroon 5 are putting a debt in my finances. Why’s that? They’ve released a Limited Deluxe Edition of their striking sophomore album, “It Won’t Be Soon Before Long” with five bonus tracks.

This deluxe edition has new unreleased songs: “Story” accompanying an entrancing guitar hook, ”Losing My Mind” an up tempo ballad, “Miss You Love You” which the guitar and singer Adam Levine’s vocals bring out the soulfulness of the track, “Wake Up Call” Mark Ronson remix feat. Mary J. Blige, where the two artists adds their music magical touch to the already hip track, and “If I Never See You Face Again” a mediocre duet with Rihanna, which they should’ve left a perfectly good song in the condition it was in.

Maybe I shouldn’t feel guilty getting the second version of the CD. As long as Levine’s voice soothes me, then I won’t feel so bad after all.
