Maxwell Now Pop Music CD Review

!±8± Maxwell Now Pop Music CD Review

The exceptionally talented Pop artist Maxwell has released him CD entitled Now. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Maxwell fans, and Pop fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Now Maxwell's artistic excellence is on full display as Maxwell has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be him best work to date.

I wish it weren't the case but, it's not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can't force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Now. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

Pop music fans will recognize some of the well known guests that have been assembled to play along with Maxwell on several of the tracks. Artists like Bruce C. Bouton and Steve Bernstein just to name a couple.

If you're even mildly into Pop music you'll enjoy this CD. Overall Now is an outstanding release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.

While this entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - Get To Know Ya, track 7 - For Lovers Only, and track 12 - Now/At The Party

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Get To Know Ya Intro. It's a great track!
