You want some sugar?

The pop-rock band Maroon 5, recently released the video to their hit single Sugar. Their album titled V diverted from their usual rock ways and stuck with a more synthetic disco pop style. Along with the soothing and romantic falsettos of lead singer Adam Levine, the single evokes a rhythmic and upbeat disco feel that will make you want to get up and dance. The recently released music video shows the band crashing multiple weddings. They drive around the Los Angeles area and surprisingly appear at real-live weddings. The band wanted to show the meaning behind the song through its video and what better way to do that than to capture the candid expression of the bride and groom on video. Lyrics such as “I don’t wanna be needing your love, I just wanna be deep in your love I don’t” portray the romantic meaning behind their single. With the release of their album, their next priority is to focus on their 27-city North American tour.
