A high-energy collision of mid-2000s pop hits and eclectic remixers. From club-ready house to jittery indie-pop, it reimagines the band's radio staples.

02Liner Notes
This album is a fascinating time capsule of the late 2000s, a period when the boundaries between mainstream pop, underground electronic music, and indie rock were becoming increasingly porous.
This album is a fascinating time capsule of the late 2000s, a period when the boundaries between mainstream pop, underground electronic music, and indie rock were becoming increasingly porous. It feels like a curated mixtape from a very specific era of the internet, where blog-house and neo-soul were the dominant textures of the urban night. The familiar hooks of Adam Levine are stretched, chopped, and re-contextualized into shapes that range from sleek dancefloor fillers to jagged experimental sketches.
Released in late 2008, 'Call and Response: The Remix Album' is a comprehensive reimagining of Maroon 5's first two multi-platinum studio albums, 'Songs About Jane' and 'It Won't Be Soon Before Long'. Rather than a standard remix package, the project features an incredibly diverse roster of collaborators that reflects the eclectic musical landscape of the time. The album includes contributions from hip-hop royalty like Swizz Beatz and Questlove, electronic giants like Tiesto and Paul Oakenfold, and indie-darlings such as Deerhoof and Of Montreal. This wide net results in a tracklist that jumps between tech-house, R&B, and experimental pop. Critically, the album was noted for its ambition, particularly the way it allowed indie artists to deconstruct mainstream pop hits. It stands as a testament to Maroon 5's versatility and their willingness to let their signature sound be completely dismantled and rebuilt by their peers.

Moments worth waiting for
The way Pharrell transforms 'She Will Be Loved' into a skeletal, rhythmic R&B groove with minimal percussion.
Deerhoof's chaotic and jittery deconstruction of 'Not Falling Apart' which strips the pop sheen for art-rock noise.
The heavy, club-ready bass drop in the Tiesto remix of 'Not Falling Apart' that pivots the album toward trance.
