NEW MUSIC FROM MAXWELL

Maxwell – Pretty Wings (snippet)

Remember this post from last year? Well, finally the wishes of many have been granted. Maxwell is back with a new single, which he posted on his myspace page. Even though it’s a snippet, I think many will be satisfied just to see that Maxwell’s making a comeback. Six years later, after 2001′s Now, (an album that practically everyone I knew owned), Maxwell brings us “Pretty Wings” from his upcoming trilogy album, Black Summers’ Night.

Maxwell is still a great vocalist with one of the prettiest falsettos that I’ve ever heard. Hopefully, within the coming week, we will get the full version of “Pretty Wings,” and who knows, maybe even some other teaser songs from the album.

    I am so happy Maxwell is coming back! I STILL til this day listen to his debut album “Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite”. I think that’s his best album ever.

  26. Cinderella

    I remember when Maxwell first came on the scene with the fro, and a body from hell, every woman was in love with him including me. I’m a huge fan of Maxwell’s I hope it’s not true #8, I hope he’s not gay even though it wouldn’t benefit me any, it’s not like i will ever meet him in person. Anyway good luck Maxwell, I like you better with the fro.

  27. Not a big Maxwell fan but the song sounds good.

  28. Anon101

    Yeah he has one of the best falsettos.

    Why does he have to gay?I don’t people these days, say anything.

    Aaliyah doesn’t have a falsetto, her voice was nooooooooowhere near that range.

  29. bereal

    He can get it with or without the hair. I will be buying the new album. ..

    luv ya MAXX ..

  30. realestnycsoldier

    I was listening to strictly gangsta hip hop when “ascension (don’t ever wonder)” dropped..now i’m a fan of R&B but that song made me a fan of the genre all over again..much respect to this man for enduring six years in oblivion i’m sure whatever has happened in his life is going to be relative to this trilogy get it..three discs one per every two years..very personal music..The return of the new mac is here.

  31. It’s about time…How long has it been since he released his last album? Ten years?

    Seriously, some artists need to take notes. Dropping albums once a year just for the sake of dropping them and staying in the public eye and not any good is…I don’t know what it is….

  32. I love the snippet. I can’t wait for the CD:)

  33. DO THE POCKET-KNIFE

    THIS IS WHAT —–MUSIC—– SOUNDS LIKE! THIS SONG IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL…MAKES ME WANNA GO HOME AND COOK A CANDELIGHT DINNER AND SERVE IT TO MY MAN IN HEELS…THAT DAMN MAXWELL, DOES IT EVERYTIME!

    LMAO

  34. Crazy0824

  36. IAMDARKAQUA

  42. punnkfresh

    Only a few voices can put a stirring to my soul and Maxwell’s is one of them.

  46. MissPB

    I love Maxwell! So good hearing his voice again…eagerly anticipating hearing the full song and the entire CD when it drops.

  47. MisEdumacation of Z

    I couldn’t understand half of the words he was singing but you know what I DON”T CARE….I love me some Maxwell!!!!!!! He could sing about smoking crack and it would still be music to my ears…..

  48. LLH

    I have always loved the vocal talent of Maxwell. Even though only a snippet was played, it is already clear that “Pretty Wings” is a beautiful ballad. I can’t wait to hear his new work. This is a great time to compare real music to that other stuff. Everyone click on the Jennifer Lopez video located directly under Maxwell’s piece. Can you hear the difference? : ) Too bad more money is spent promoting and purchasing that other stuff (i.e. J-Lo) and not real music (i.e. Maxwell). I think ya’ know what I mean. LLH

  49. janice

    @ #30, what are you talking about aaliyah didn’t sing in falsetto? that was her signature style. she sang falsetto on practically all her songs. “i care 4 u”… you obviously don’t know what falsetto is. ronald isley, d’angelo, and minnie riperton were also people who sang in falsetto.

  50. godivagoddess6 oto

    ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT!!!! Man I can’t wait until this cd drops.

  51. mike

    Oh damn does anyone have that whole song….hsi voice is soooooooo pretty and im just loving the vibe in that song….SO EXCITED!

  52. calmsensual1

  53. Georgia Peach

    Maxwell is the greatest!! I love him

  54. It’s about time Maxwell it’s been like what 7 years since your last album.

  55. backingbarack
