Embrya

The bass line of the opening track is the first sign, and the smooth funk of the second track confirms it:On Embrya, Maxwell has done it again. Sophomore efforts don't always fare well, especially when an artist is still riding high on the accolades of a debut, but Maxwell has managed to take the exquisite soul of 1996's Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite and,without sacrificing any of its verve, turn it into something far more sophisticated. Not only is Embrya a sublime summer soundtrack, it's a groove masterpiece from start to finish."Luxury: Cococure," the first single, like "'Til the Cops Come Knockin'" before it, is only the slightest taste of the treasures waiting to be devoured. If you're looking for lush ballads, skip to "Matrimony: Maybe You," the haunting "Know These Things: Shouldn't You," and the sensual slow jam "Gravity: Pushing to Pull" (and yes, nearly all the tracks are subtitled like this).

They may not be as yearning as those that detailed his weekend-long tryst on Hang Suite (Maxwell knows better than anyone just how far a little restraint can go),but these tracks are gifts on their own. Put them together and you have an album that does nothing but elevate Maxwell's impeccable reputation as the man who breathed life back into the soul of R&B.

九十年代中期的節奏布魯斯愛好者既不像前輩一樣高雅，也很少像其他類型音樂愛好者那樣追求純粹的感官刺激。Maxwell的音樂中蘊藏的現代感覺和坦率的浪漫情懷顯然符合這些挑剔的節奏布魯斯愛好者的胃口。Maxwell17歲時開始在一把破舊的卡西歐鍵盤上創作音樂，他過人的天賦讓他很快成為了紐約俱樂部圈子裡的名人。在和Columbia公司簽約後，他和吉他手Wah Wah Watson、薩克斯手Stuart Matthewman、歌曲作者Leon Ware一起錄製了首張專輯。Maxwell的首張專輯《Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite》，包容了Prince迷幻的性感瘋克和Marvin Gaye標準的浪漫概念，再加上節奏布魯斯本身濃郁純美的根源色彩，成為了當時節奏布魯斯的一個難得的精品。單曲“Ascension (Never Wonder)”，進入了TOP40排行榜，專輯在1996年底成為金唱片。兩年後，Columbia公司推出Maxwell的第二張專輯《Embrya》。整張專輯風格迥異，感性的陳述著Maxwell的每一個想法，時而將您帶入空曠、寂靜的山野，時而又穿梭在迷幻、繁華的都市。Maxwell所得給你的就是一種感覺，一種閉上眼睛找尋真正自我的感覺。
