James Interview

The Daily Nebraskan has interviewed James about his time at college in Nebraska, playing with JJAMZ and the next Maroon 5 album.

Daily Nebraskan: What’re you guys up to right now?

James Valentine: (Maroon 5 is) writing the material for our next record. We’ve got a rehearsal space in L.A. that we all just sort of drop into; it’s been kind of loose up until now. We were on tour so long that I think we all needed a break from each other. Now we’re back into it and we also have a little studio set up at (frontman Adam Levine’s) house where we’ve just been working on ideas.

DN: Do you guys have any target date for this next album?

JV: It’s kind of too early to say. We’d like to have it out sooner than later. It’s been a couple years since our last one was out. We don’t ever want to go away for too long, but at the same time you don’t want to break the process.
