Setting the tone with a melodic riser and intricate acoustic guitar, Jason Maxwell opens his latest single, For Now with the emotive lyrics, “Your roots ran a little too deep, to just pack up and leave, when I asked you to…“
For Now expands into a country-pop anthem which tells the story of a break up, written as a straight-from-the-heart letters to Jason’s ex-girlfriend.
The journey of the song is emotive, and we are obsessed with Jason’s poetic delivery, vulnerability and flow as he asks introspectively on the hook, “Is he good enough for you, or just good enough for now?”
Jason Maxwell is an independent singer-songwriter-recording artist from Toronto, Ontario in Canada who is currently recording out of Nashville. To no surprise, For Now is featured on Apple Music’s Country Lovin’ playlist, Amazon Music’s Breakthrough Country playlist, YouTube Music’s The New Crop playlist & Qub Musique’s Nouveautés Country playlist and was just featured by EARMILK!
The emotional depth that Jason demonstrates on the song is tangible and he confesses, “Even though we had been broken up for a long time, I felt that things weren’t fully over between us. I loved her and still saw a future together. It was disheartening to realize that our relationship was really over and that she had moved on definitively”.
The single follows Maxwell’s performance in the Netflix movie “Full Out 2: You Got This!”, which also featured his single “Girls Like to Dance” on the official movie soundtrack. The artist has also amassed five million likes on TikTok and over 70 million views, which is an outstanding achievement, considering the state of the music industry! Most label signed artists haven’t achieved that. It is clear that the universe is on Jason’s side!
Jason is an experienced and versatile performer, and has performed as a supporting act for several notable artists including The Washboard Union, The Reklaws, Chad Brownlee & J.J. Shiplett.
We love the direction that Jason Maxwell is going in and have added For Now to our New Music Spotlight playlist and continue to stream his wider discography!
