5. Maxwell: Now
It had been three years since Maxwell released his last album (and
even longer since he released a good one), but Now, the finest male
R&B offering in a year dominated by women, was worth the wait.
Buoyed by richly done vocals and an (underrated), mournful lyricism,
Now exemplified the year's best merging of old-school,
Marvin Gaye-like soul and new-school funk jams, with the odd gospel
touch (and Kate Bush cover) thrown in for good measure.
