Rihanna spices up indie boys

GOOD on MAROON 5 for tripling their record sales for their next single
release.

Ok, not quite... but teaming up with hot property RIHANNA is a smart
move.

The pop rockers joined forces with the R'n'B singer to film a video for a
remake of If I Never See Your Face Again - originally the lead track on the
band's last album It Won't Be Soon Before Long.

The jazzed up version will appear on reissues of both artists' albums.

Rihanna said: "This is the only collaboration on my re-release, because I
always wanted to work with Maroon 5. They're one of my favourite bands. When
they called me to do this record with them, I was so honoured.

"It's really intense because you have to work with each other so much.
It's new for me, but I'm enjoying it."

Frontman ADAM LEVINE said: "The only other collaboration I had
done before was with KANYE (WEST) 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 added: "I don't do a lot of videos where I have so much chemistry
with the other artist."
CHRIS BROWN had better watch out.
