"...and Maxwell is out to let people know how mellow smooth R&B is done, and that it's not all about booty or asking someone in a backhanded way to marry them (are you listening Jagged Edge and Next???). This track seems to hearken back to Maxwell's first CD, rather than continue the extremely laid back sound of Embrya. Not that that's a bad thing, mind you. Part of the problem (if you felt there was one) with the second album was that it was so mellow you forgot which song you were actually listening to. This isn't a problem with this single, and if the single is any indication, it won't be a problem with the new album."

He's Just Tryin' To Get Wit' You... Honest!

"Before I even heard the words to this song, I had a vague feeling that it was Maxwell's voice that would be coming up after the intro. This song was incredibly slept on, which is a shame because it's my 3rd favorite Maxwell song behind 1) Cococure and 2) I'm You. Maxwell is known for having that thumping bassline that gets you going and lyrics that actually mean something (if somewhat confusing at times). And his adlibbing is splendid. Luckily, on "Now", Max once again teams up with Sade musician, Stuart Matthewman (multi-instrumental genius) and gives us nothing short of a spectacular album. I just hope I don't have another 3 years for one my favorite neo-soul artists to come out with another album."

I LOVE THIS SONG!

"Get to know ya, is good. Finally Maxwell is back. I can't wait till his cd comes out. This first track is off da hook. I have to say R.Kelly is the king of R&B, Jon B is like the younger version of Barry White(that's what I like to call him) And Maxwell is just plain different and awesome with his sexy, and smooth style of singing. I love his songs, they put you into this cool relaxing mood."
