Maroon 5 憑借新發(fā)行的LP依舊引領(lǐng)流行時代


On the sixth M5 LP, Adam Levine nuances a role? he plays well: the Top 40 old-soul navigating whatever the pop-music moment throws his way. He works?well alongside young talent, trading playful “hey?now, baby”s with SZA over crisp brunch funk on “What Lovers Do”?and ascending into falsetto sunshine with Julia Michaels on “Help Me Out.”Kendrick Lamar provides a high point simply by showing up for “Don’t Wanna?Know.” Whether skating over house beats on “Plastic?Rose” or?cruising through a ballad like “Denim Jacket,” Levine proves himself?a pliant star of Jacksonian ease and Stingly self-assurance.
在第六張Maroon 5專輯中,Adam Levine依舊起到了重要作用:作為40歲的頂級歌手,他依舊在用他自己的方式引領(lǐng)流行音樂時代。他與年輕而富有天賦的SZA合作了曲風(fēng)清新的放克歌曲“What Lovers Do”,帶來“hey now,baby” 的俏皮呼喚。?在“Help Me Out”中加入了Julia MIchaels漸入的假音。而Kendrick Lamar在“Don’t Wanna Know”中也無疑是點(diǎn)睛之筆。Levine在充滿節(jié)奏感的“Plastic Rose”和抒情曲“Denim Jacket”中都受到了杰克遜式輕松以及堅(jiān)強(qiáng)自信的影響。
