Red Pill Blues is the sixth studio album by Maroon 5. It was released on November 3, 2017, by 222 and Interscope Records. The title of the album refers to the science fiction term of taking the red pill or the blue pill, which originated from the 1999 sci-fi film The Matrix. The album is the follow-up to their fifth studio album V (2014) and features guest appearances from ASAP Rocky, SZA, LunchMoney Lewis and Julia Michaels.
Maroon 5 unveiled the music video for their latest single “Memories,” which serves as a tribute to their late manager Jordan Feldstein, who died unexpectedly in December 2017 from a pulmonary embolism.
October 7: Howard Stern Broadcasts Live From The SiriusXM Hollywood Studios
Maroon 5 frontman and longtime friend of the show Adam stopped by the Stern Show on Monday sporting a whole new look – a mohawk braided by wife, supermodel Behati Prinsloo,
“I like to experiment with various types of mohawks … it’s a very liberating thing,” Adam noted.
The haircut is far from the only big change in the singer’s life. For the first time since the show’s existence, Adam is longer a part of NBC’s “The Voice.”
“I was ready to not be doing it anymore for a little bit … this was the right time for me to go,” he told Howard.
Despite rumors he was angry producers expected him to show up during the show’s season finale when he had no contestants in the running, Adam told Howard his departure had more to do with freeing up time for his family.
“At the end of the day, no, that had nothing to do with anything,” he said. “For eight and a half years I was so busy … it was a life-altering experience … I got married, I had two kids, and I wanted to spend time with them.”
In addition to raising a family, Adam has been busy on the bat mitzvah circuit, having recently performed at that of Adam Sandler’s daughter Sadie. “I had literally just left ‘The Voice’ and had all this free time,” Levine recalled. “[Sandler] texted me and I’m like shit, why not?”
Also in the SiriusXM studio on Monday was Maroon 5 guitarist James Valentine, whom along with Adam performed their new song “Memories.” Adam said “everything stopped” for him when the band was first approached with some of the lyrics that would eventually become “Memories.”
“There was only like a first verse and a raw chorus,” he explained. “I already kind of started feeling ideas for the second verse and the words and made it personal to me.”
The result is a song about former Maroon 5 manager (and older brother of Jonah Hill) Jordan Feldstein, who passed away in 2017.
“I needed this song … rather than fight about things it’s nice to have common ground and all of us have had loss,” Adam told Howard.
Adam and his band Maroon 5 make an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
While on the show, Adam said he’s now a “a stay-at-home dad” who does “very little” after leaving his gig on The Voice.
“I really do miss it. I love the people that I met and worked with, and obviously we all know how I feel about Blake [Shelton],” Adam said about leaving the show. “I do miss it, but I also don’t miss how much I had to work. I was just constantly working for so many years. Very lucky, very fortunate, very blessed, and all that, but just to be able to stop in this moment to spend time with my new young family and just have the greatest time ever.”
He also spoke about his time with kids Gio and Dusty Rose, who are one and three years old, with his wife Behati Prinsloo.
“I’m obsessed with them. I mean, I know that’s a good thing because they’re my children, but that’s why I don’t do much,” Adam added.
