Maroon 5: V (2014) [Blu-ray]

V (pronounced "Five") is the fifth studio album by American pop rock band Maroon 5. It was released on August 29, 2014, by Interscope Records and 222 Records, as the follow-up from their fourth studio album Overexposed (2012). The album will be the first to be released through Interscope after the band's previous label, A&M Octone Records, transferred them along with most of its artists to Interscope. The album also sees the return of keyboardist Jesse Carmichael after his absence from the band's previous album. On July 29, 2014, the album was made available for pre-order on the iTunes Store and through Maroon 5's official website.

In 2012, Maroon 5 released their fourth studio album Overexposed. The album was released during a time of commercial momentum for the band following the success of "Moves like Jagger", a single which lead singer Adam Levine credited as having "revived the group", and the album's lead single, "Payphone", which became both a critical and commercial success. Overexposed was described by the band as their "most poppiest record to date", with critics giving the album mixed reviews upon its release, describing the album as having lacked memorable hooks and charm, and having exposed their limitations. The album, however, was met with a positive note with praise directed generally at Levine's vocals and the album's production.

V was recorded by the band at Conway Studios in downtown Los Angeles, California over a year-long period from 2013 through to mid 2014. The recording sessions for V saw the band's keyboardist Jesse Carmichael return to the band after a hiatus, which saw him absent during the recording and promotion for the band's fourth studio album, Overexposed. V also features a collaboration with Gwen Stefani for "My Heart is Open", co-written with Sia. James Valentine stated that they have known her for a long time and work together was "really cool".

The album cover for V features a neon lighted crosstube formed in the shape of the roman numeral for five, the title of the album. The neon display is placed in front of a desert landscape, with mountains in the background. The Maroon 5 logo appears out of focus in the background as a sign perched on the side of the mountain, similar to the Hollywood Sign.
