Description
Maroon 5 and One Direction each built their catalogs on strong, hook-driven melodies, and Pop, Vol. 5: Best of Maroon 5 & One Direction puts those melodies front and center in solo piano form. The album covers a wide stretch of both artists' most played songs, from the upbeat bounce of Sugar and What Makes You Beautiful to the more measured pace of Little Things, Memories, and This Love.
Payphone and Animals are among the more rhythmically driven tracks here, and the piano arrangements find the melodic core of each without leaning on the production that made them hits. Girls Like You, Story of My Life, and Night Changes sit in the middle of the set's tempo range, each one familiar enough that the main melody needs little introduction.
History and Nobody's Love bring the collection toward a more spacious, open feel as it moves toward its close. Across all thirteen tracks, the arrangements stay clean and uncluttered, with the recognizable hooks of each song doing most of the work. The result is a album that covers a lot of ground across two well-known catalogs, all through a single instrument.
