Maxwell has leaked some photos from his upcoming video "Pretty Wings"






**updated 4.28.09**

Pretty Wings" will make its debut 4/28 on Musze.com and also on BET's "106 and Park".

It is the 1st single off "Black Summers' Night" coming July 7, 2009.

"BET.com got a chance to hear the first album of the "Black Summers' Night" and for those concerned that Maxwell may have changed his sound, fear not, Maxwell has not lost a step. Before we go any further, it is imperative to note that there are no Lil Wayne guest appearances, no Kanye West production and no Autotune. It is safe to say that the lush arrangements and vocals that have made many a lady heart melt is still intact.

Many of the songs feature several movements and some stretches of noteworthy instrumentation. Sure, Maxwell is known for his impressive vocal talents, but the production on this outing masterfully brings the album full circle.

Scheduled for an early July release date, "Black" features songs stuffed full of emotion and energy. Brooding love jams, funky basslines and Maxwell begging, pleading, loving and crooning his way through the 9 song release. Although we cannot release song titles as of yet, just know that it is indeed vintage Maxwell.

Maxwell has also decided to keep it short and sweet with 9 offerings that will surely leave the listener yearning for more.

The first single and video will be "Pretty Wings" which will also debut exclusively on 106 & Park next Tuesday, April 28. Maxwell will also be holding a press conference after his 106 appearance to announce further details regarding his upcoming album and a tour that will begin in June.

Maxwell has also been the first artist confirmed to perform at this year's BET Awards."

I did a search and went back 10 pages so no thread on him. I love Maxwell and my favorite song is "Drowndeep: Hula".

i loooooooooooov this man's voice
i swear i've been a fan since i was a kid hahaha

glad to see he's finally making a comeback ( if only his record company would stop pushing his album's back )

my favorite maxwell songs are gravity : pushing to pull and whenever,wherever,whatever

Oh man Sophia I love this man <3333

show sum luv yall!!

love this guy. His falsetto is sooooooo hot.

ikr Ashley!

I wanted to see him on tour but his DC concerts are all sold out. They had to add another date b/c the first two was sold out in mere minutes.

I agree about the record company; they keep pushing back the date. Over at his fansite, the word is that the album will not be release until 2010.

i LOOOOOVE Maxwell, I love his rendition of Kate Boswell's "This Woman's Work"

his voice is sooo soulful . he puts me at ease

Check out the first post. Maxwell will release his new video "Pretty Wings" soon.

Looking forward to his new album. Few neo-soul singers have his style and crazy falsetto.

On one hand I'm happy he's finally coming with something new. On the other, I'm like "what's taking him so long?!?" it's bee almost 10 years!!! 10 years!!!!

but my happiness always wins out......*sigh* Maxwell why can't I quit you. LOL

First post updated! We got a release date! Black Summers' Night will release on July 7, 2009!

Can't wait!! Hope it doesn't get pushed back.
