Audio: Maxwell “Pretty Wings”

Maxwell is back, and is set to hit y'all off with a full length album, BLACKsummers'night, with that vintage Maxwell soul we all love. The album is due out July 7th and is the first of a trio of albums. The 9 track song recorded all with a 10 piece live band is said to have: "Maxwell exploring life with a bold and purposeful sensuality unmistakably his own." Listen to the first official single form the project, "Pretty Wings," below.

    finally, i’ve been following the push back dates for about 5 years now.
    this is one i’m actually going to have to buy

  5. avatar RAWCEO

    This is officially the new joint!

    Urban Love Hang Suite got me some extra special attention from a lovely Ebony skinned Goddess. That I convinced to buy it without listening to it first. I’m hoping the same results will follow with this one. He rebaits his hook, and casts out the line again. Waiting ever patiently. Lol.

    OK,only nine songs,2 only have 2 wait another couple of years 4/2 more joints,resulting in a decade plus long wait,c’mon w/the jams,my brother,alright?! In your wake,we’ve had musiq soulchild/robin thicke/omar/lemar/shaun escoffrey,as well as various others,step up & represent,YO?

    I’ve heard of perfectionism,but this is just ridiculous,bro,what’s the deal,huh? We fans of the world feed off of your lovejamz,and you’re seemingly ‘cock-blocking’ us,ya dig? So don’t be a jive-ass turkey,why don’t ya break us true-blue fans w/a special edition of all three jointz,ya know we’re good 4 it,don’cha know?

    I did catch yer last tour,and it was almost an exact copy of the wonderful ‘now’ tour,b/w a few select new tracks from the up & coming new classic. No complaints,but I’d rather had waited 4 all of the jamz,instead of just a few,OOH? But from the packed theatre,no one seemed 2 give a damn about it,not @ all?

    I wish ya nothing but the best brother,much love,but I feel like your teasing all of us,and it ain’t none 2 kosher,alright?
    cheers?!
    right-on/rock-on?!
    peace…
    one love…

    Much Love!
