Maroon 5 凭借新发行的LP依旧引领流行时代

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.

在第六张Maroon 5专辑中，Adam Levine依旧起到了重要作用：作为40岁的顶级歌手，他依旧在用他自己的方式引领流行音乐时代。他与年轻而富有天赋的SZA合作了曲风清新的放克歌曲“What Lovers Do”，带来“hey now，baby” 的俏皮呼唤。 在“Help Me Out”中加入了Julia MIchaels渐入的假音。而Kendrick Lamar在“Don’t Wanna Know”中也无疑是点睛之笔。Levine在充满节奏感的“Plastic Rose”和抒情曲“Denim Jacket”中都受到了杰克逊式轻松以及坚强自信的影响。
