{"product_id":"now","title":"Now - 3606","description":"Amazon.com\n\nThree years after the scattered Embrya, new-soul prodigy Maxwell returns with Now, his most fully realized 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\u0026amp;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. 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\n\nProduct Description\n\nMaxwell made a memorable debut in 1996 when his first album went platinum, he won 3 Soul Train awards and he was nominated for a Grammy™. He continues to build on that success with his third album, \"Now,\" which features the single \"Get To Know Ya.\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00005NKK5\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GGV.B00005NKK5.LN\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Like New\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Maxwell\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Recycle4","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49691331166506,"sku":"GGV.B00005NKK5.LN","price":10.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/0819\/9210\/files\/skuimage_0c755dbc-08cd-48ff-98af-bd09b593d0af.jpg?v=1733873757","url":"https:\/\/recycle4.com\/products\/now","provider":"Recycle4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
