Maxwell : BLACKsummers'night (2009)



















Maxwell “BLACKsummers’night” was released this week. This is the first CD from the neo-soul singer in eight years.

Fans have been waiting for this for a very long time and the question is: did he deliver?

Well the answer is not simple, because by all accounts ‘BLACKsummers’night’ is a good album but it is pale in comparison to his previous classics “Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite” "Embrya" and “Now.”

This album is the sensuous opening installment of the artist's monumental BLACKSUMMERS'NIGHT trilogy. Striving for an emotional authenticity and real world sound for the album, the entire album was recorded live in the studio with an a-list ensemble of elegantly sympathetic musicians.
