Rihanna and Maroon 5 Team Up for a Collab

Rihanna and Maroon 5 are teaming up for an ultra-glam remake of “If I Never See Your Face Again”, which will appear on the re-releases of both big-name artists.

“We’re both re-releasing our albums — mine’s out June 17,” Rihanna told MTV News. “This is the only collaboration on my re-release, because I always wanted to work with Maroon 5. They’re one of my favorite bands. When they called me to do this record with them, I was so honored.”

“The song was basically done, but we wanted to try something different, so we had her come in and do bits and pieces,” Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine added. “It came together so quick. The only other collaboration I had done before was with Kanye, and it was the same way. It sounds cheesy, but if the magic is there, if the chemistry is there, you don’t even have to think about it.”

Adam and Rihanna give MTV a behind-the-scenes look at the new video and open up about their experiences. Check it.

Yay!
I love “If I Never See Your Face Again”, although it would be weird with Rihanna. I’m imagining the collaboration and I think it would be interesting.

I now have lost respect for Maroon 5. Not that, that will really matter but..thats crap.BTW, is it wrong for a handsome young man to have the relationship with an older woman?? Obviously, it is a world-shaking relationship on the Internet like sugarmommamatch.com. Most blogs and news are focusing and discussing on this kind of relationship. How do you think of such a thing?

I miss old school Maroon5 when they weren’t as popular. They did good music before, with a unique sound

Now their so commerical, and teaming up with ppl like Kanye and Rihanna just makes that point much more evident.

Sure, why not? They will both be dubbed anyway.
