Maxwell has unwrapped a full suite of announcements; all of which are sure to delight his legion of fans.
Full story below…
The first is the formal reveal of the GRAMMY winner’s long-awaited album ‘blacksummers’NIGHT.’
Serving as the concluding part of the trilogy first started with 2009’s ‘BLACKsummers’night,’ the project has been set for a Spring 2022 release.
‘Off,’ the LP’s scintillating lead single, was released in tandem with the news. The slow-burning jam arrives as the first fruit of Maxwell’s new deal with BMG – which now houses his label Musze.
Take a listen…
With Maxwell set to receive the Legend honor at this Sunday’s Soul Train Awards, the superstar will also be gracing the stage to perform at the Apollo ceremony.
Thereafter, he’s announced that he’ll be hitting the road on the Night Tour, alongside Joe and Anthony Hamilton.

Speaking on the various developments, Maxwell said:
“From announcing a new partnership with BMG for my label Musze to receiving the Legend Award at the upcoming 2021 Soul Train Awards, I couldn’t be more excited to share this new single with loved ones offering a glimpse into NIGHT…”
Great to have this titan of talent back and going all-out.
I don’t care for this song at all. His voice sounds VERY different. Not excited at ALL about this project based on this song.
On another note, I don’t get the styling or the hair either. He’s trying to mix his Embrya & Maxwell’s Hang Suite together with the ‘blacksummer’s night’ days looks.
This is a total miss.
He’s approaching 50 years old. Of course his voice won’t be the same as it was 25 years ago. He still sounds good! I happen to enjoy the song and looking forward to his tour.
Man…I love his early stuff but this song is not it! Looking forward to the live show for sure!
