V Deluxe Maroon 5

[Hebe Newnam]

The most special things deserve a bit more love. Composed of 100% rayon made from bamboo, this delicate fabric is silky-soft, right out of the box and extra gentle on baby's sensitive skin. No matter if you're wrapping your tiny newborn or snuggling with your big kid - each moment will feel like a little piece of heaven.

Our deluxe muslin is a very soft and delicate fabric. To preserve its softness and quality:

Wash separately or only with other deluxe muslin fabrics.

Wash cold on a delicate cycle

Line dry or tumble dry with air only

Not following these instructions may result in peeling and a reduction in the softness of the fabric.

Our swaddle blankets are versatile and large enough to use as a nursing cover, burping and tummy time. They are absorbent and soft, making it a must-have in your diaper bag for all the spills and thrills of parenthood.

The deluxe section of the album is mostly underwhelming, as Wipe Your Eyes and Wasted Years feel just like the afterthoughts they are implied to be by their position on the tracklist. Kiss looks like it is going the same way for its first half, but the 7 minute blues-based epic gets better the longer it goes on.

Made for doctoral graduates or faculty members, this regal ensemble exudes elegance and prestige. Crafted with utmost care and attention to detail, this set is designed to make your academic milestone a truly memorable and dignified experience.

Note to graduates:
A maroon (or crimson) velvet doctoral or PHD gown usually represents a degree in communications or journalism. This may not always be the case and will be determined by your school or institution.

Our Deluxe Maroon Velvet Doctoral Gown, Hood, and 8-Sided Tam Package is not just a collection of academic regalia; it embodies the significance of your accomplishments and the journey you've undertaken. Be it a commencement ceremony or a formal academic event, this package will ensure you stand out with an air of distinction and sophistication.

V (Roman numeral for five)[3] is the fifth studio album by American band Maroon 5. The album was released on August 29, 2014, through 222 and Interscope Records. V was Maroon 5's first album 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 saw the return of keyboardist/rhythm guitarist/backing vocalist Jesse Carmichael, after his absence from recording, touring and promoting the band's previous album, Overexposed, which was released in 2012. It debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 and produced with three hit singles, "Maps", "Animals", and "Sugar", peaking at numbers 6, 3 and 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100, respectively. A fourth single "This Summer's Gonna Hurt like a Motherfucker", was released on May 15, 2015, from the reissue deluxe edition of the album.[4] "Feelings" was released as the album's fifth and final single on September 14, 2015. The album received mixed reviews from the music critics.

In 2012, Maroon 5 released their fourth studio album Overexposed. The record was released during a time of commercial momentum for the band following the success of "Moves like Jagger" (recorded with Christina Aguilera), a single which lead singer Adam Levine credited as having "revived the group",[5] and the album's lead single, "Payphone", which became both a critical and commercial success.[6] Overexposed was described by the band as their "most poppiest [sic] record to date", with critics giving the album mixed reviews upon its release.[7]

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.[8] The recording sessions for V saw the band's keyboardist Jesse Carmichael return to the band after a two-year hiatus, which saw him absent during the recording and promotion for Overexposed.[9] The album also features a collaboration with Gwen Stefani called "My Heart Is Open",[10] co-written with Australian singer Sia. Guitarist James Valentine stated that the band had known Sia for a long time and working with her was "really cool".[11]

The album cover for V was created by South Korean photographer Lee Jung.[12] It features a 1.3m neon lighted crosstube formed in the shape of the roman numeral for five, the title of the album.[13] The red neon display is placed in front of a reservoir in the Gyeonggi Province,[12] 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 famous Hollywood Sign.[14] An alternate cover for the album was created by Indonesian graphic designer Bayo Gale (who won the band's alternate album cover art contest).[15] It features the tiger's face with a shape of the letter V with a vertex at the bottom and the Maroon 5 logo.

Departing from then-active A&M Octone Records, the band signed with its related label, Interscope Records[16] and frontman Levine's record label 222 Records to release the album.[17] V was unveiled by the band and Interscope on May 19, 2014, slated for a release date of September 2, 2014, in the United States.[18] Through a signed contract with Live Nation, the band had also announced that they are also set to embark on a world tour in late 2014 through to early 2015 in support of V.[8]The artwork for V was unveiled through a series of five puzzle piece clues released daily through the band's Facebook page from July 17 through to July 21.[19][20] After the series was completed, the album's artwork, in addition to its track listing, were unveiled on July 21, 2014.[21] The album also includes a limited-edition of ZinePak.[22] Moreover, to promote the album, Maroon 5 performed at the iHeartRadio Theater in Burbank, California on August 26, 2014[23] and on The Today Show (as part of the Toyota concert series) at Rockefeller Plaza in New York City, New York on September 1.[24] Later, the band started the Maroon V Tour in February 2015 at venues mainly to take place in North America and Europe.[25] The tour ended on May 12, 2018, in Zapopan, Mexico, comprising 137 shows.

"Maps" was released as the album's lead single on June 16, 2014.[26] The song peaked at number 6 on the US Billboard Hot 100,[27] giving the band their ninth top-ten hit in the country. "Maps" also reached the top-ten in an additional fourteen countries, including a peak of number 2 on the UK Singles Chart.

"Animals" was released as the album's second single on August 25, 2014. The song peaked at number 3 on the US Billboard Hot 100, giving the band their tenth top-ten hit in the country.[27] The song also peaked within the top-ten in an additional ten countries, and has also sold in excess of 200,000 copies in the UK alone. Likewise with their previous single, "Animals" achieved platinum status in the US for sales exceeding 1,000,000 copies.

"Sugar" was released on January 13, 2015, as the album's third single.[28] It is the most successful single from the album, reaching the top-ten in 24 countries, including number 6 in Australia, number 7 on the UK Singles Chart, and number two on the US Billboard Hot 100.

"It Was Always You" was released on July 29, 2014, as the first and only promotional single of the album.[31] The song peaked at number 40 on the UK Singles Chart and number 45 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

V received generally mixed reviews upon its release. On Metacritic, V received a weighted average score of 55/100 based on 12 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[33] In a four-star review, Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone called the songs "precision-tuned and lustrously polished, jammed with hooks and choruses that build a man cave in your brain."[41] Brian Mansfield of USA Today gave the album two and a half stars out of four, remarking the album was "easy to digest and contains all sorts of flavors while still being its own thing."[42] In an 86 out of 100 review for Billboard, Brad Wete argued the album "reveals that their foundation has not been removed."[36] Writing on behalf of AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine rated the album three and a half stars out of five, praising the band for "[embracing] the tuneful, slightly soulful adult contemporary pop band they've always been".[34]

In a mixed review, Kyle Anderson of Entertainment Weekly graded the album a C, suggesting Levine's songwriting didn't "live up to his ability to work a crowd."[1] Writing for The Guardian, Tim Jonze gave the album two out of five stars, dismissing it as "evidence as to why most people can't remember a Maroon 5 song two seconds after it finishes."[37] In a two star review from The Observer, Theo Leanse called the album "a gaudy chunk of over-produced electro-pop-rock", but noted its accessibility, saying it "flips a smug V-sign at us, knowing we'll never free its singles from our skulls."[2] But, Kathy Iandoli of Idolator gave the album 4 out of 5 stars and called the album "lives up to that formula of big songs while never faltering, for better or for worse".[38]
