Maroon 5 and Rihanna - If I Never See Your Face Again
Multi-platinum Grammy winning artists Maroon 5 and Rihanna have recorded a stunning new rendition of Maroon 5's If I Never See Your Face Again. The song, which is already doing well at radio will also be added to re-issued versions of It Won't Be Soon Before Long . The two recently shot an eye-popping video for the song in Los Angeles with director Anthony Mandler (Fergie, 50 Cent, Jay-Z).
"Rihanna is the real deal," says Maroon 5 lead vocalist/guitarist Adam Levine. "'Umbrella' made me excited about pop music again and we wanted to add that unique tone to the song. The minute she started singing in the studio I knew it was going to work. Her physical presence is undeniable and the concept of the video is amazing and unlike anything either of us have ever done."
"I've always been a fan of Maroon 5," adds Rihanna. "I love the energy of the song and the lyrics are badass, so I was psyched to do it." About the video shoot, she says, "It was a fun, but it was difficult to get serious for the seductive scenes because Adam and I are friends. We would bust out laughing on every other shot—that was the best part."
Maroon 5 are currently gearing up for a US tour where they will be working with Reverb, an environmental non-profit, to make the tour green and educate and engage fans to promote environmental sustainability. The environmental efforts on the tour will include using biodiesel in all truck and buses, as well as neutralizing CO2 emissions from venue energy use, hotels, flights, touring vehicles, and fan travel.
In addition, backstage plastic, aluminum, paper and cardboard waste will be reduced and recycled. They'll also be using biodegradable and reusable catering products along with local and organic food. A fan outreach Eco-Village will be set up at each show consisting of local environmental groups, green technologies, and a fan carbon offset program. Reverb will also be creating a dedicated Tour greening website including eco tips and a carpooling program.
