Maxwell Black Summer’s Night Album Review – 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 decent album (thanks to the production) but it is pale in comparison to his previous classics “Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite” and “Now.”
In all honesty in two weeks,I might listen to only two songs from this CD “Help Somebody” and “Pretty Wings”,unless it decides to grow on me miraculously.
In conclusion Maxwell will have to do better than this in the future to remind us again that he is Marvin Gaye’s true musical heir.
I have to give Maxwell “Blacksummer’s Night” a 3/5.

Maxwell is truly the man. His musical genius is a gift from God. This guy is certainly on another level. There is MAXWELL…and then there is everyone else. His romantic lyrics and respect for women are truly a breath of fresh air from the norm. Me and the wife truly enjoys TRUE SOUL. Thanx maxwell
Everything that he puts out is GREAT!
