Maroon 5 remix LP to feature Blige, Ronson

Mark Ronson, Mary J. Blige and Pharrell Williams have been lined up to take part in a "re-invention" of Maroon 5's first two albums.

The group have brought in a raft of popular artists and performers to rework songs from their first two albums, 2001's Songs For Jane, and It Won't Be Soon Before Long, released in 2006.

Superproducer Mark Ronson will rework 'Wake Up Call' with Mary J. Blige, while NERD star Pharrell Williams will remix 'She Will Be Loved'.

UK dance DJ and record producer Paul Oakenfold has been lined up to rework the Rihanna duet 'If I Never See Your Face Again', released earlier this year.

Speaking about the project, lead singer Adam Levine said: "I've always found it really interesting that a group of people looking at the same painting can all see different things.

"That was the idea behind this record, to take a few of our songs and have them interpreted by some of our favourite artists. We were really blown away by what they came up with."

Call & Response: The Remix Album is released on December 9.
