Amazon.co.uk Review
Three years after the scattered Embrya, new-soul prodigy Maxwell returns with Now, his most fully realised disc yet. While not as ambitious as D'Angelo or just plain flippin'-off-the-wall as Macy Gray, the singer-songwriter does claim a stance: acoustic-guitar-based, near-tone poems ("Sympton Unknown") and Kate Bush covers ("This Woman's Work") are hardly the stuff of your average pop-R&B love-man. Maxwell's lush thickets of overdubbed vocals could stand as a fine listen on their own; the varied textures of the instrumental tracks make the flow that much more inviting. A steel guitar subtly fires "W/As My Girl", while a rock-influenced beat gives "Temporary Nite" a groove both choppy and slippery. Now's unity of feel and often pensive tone bring it a cohesive air. Even the potentially throwaway last track, "Now/At the Party", works as more than just an exercise in 70s-party groove. If the many brokenhearted plaints here were telling a story, it would provide a suitably happy ending. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews

Bliss!!! I love love love love this
I have a few words that explain this album.

1. Bliss
2. Talent
3. Music
4. Emotional
5. Unique

Just buy it. I have this CD for years! I was bought the CD the next day after it was released. I am still loving it. Enough said.

Now thats what I call urban!
Loved urban hang suite-a truly great debut.This is more of the same but it does contain a fresh approach.Maxwell explores his vocal talents to a greater degree on this album within a slightly popier environment but do NOT let this detract from the sheer soulfulness of this set.
This album contains some great seriously emotive vocals which deserve your attention.
