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.


And oh, the hand fiddling with Maxwell’s necklaces (or chains) are that of a female. Her hands just look kind of masculine. Anyway, I wouldn’t give a hoot if Maxwell was gay, transgender, bi, straight, whatever the case may be!!! He is beautiful and very talented!!! This c.d. is going to be fly!!! It’s a classic and hasn’t even come out yet!
I’m excited!!!
I heard this last week and i LOVED it. Cant wait for his new cd. Rumor is he is gonna release 3 cds starting with 07, then 08, then 09 then take another break possibly.
Maxwell has always made quality music with substance and we adults needs to support him and others like him
i love the new song ” Pretty Wings”….i sold on the snippet, cant wait until the record drops.
ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME I COULDNT WAIT ANY LONGER I REALLY COULDNT!!!!!!
Maxwell and Sade, two artists that I depend on for real MUSIC. Will be getting this album when it drops
Perfection! He sounds like he is in good form and his voice is so …. creamy…! I love it and miss him and glad he’s back! That really takes me back, but the fact that he is so missed means nobody has been able to duplicate his work. Same for L. Hill. If she were to put out an album I think people would support her…
BRANG IT BACK MAX. I MISS YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. THE SONG IS VINTAGE MAXWELL. LOVES THE VOCALS. YEA, I’M FEELIN IT . I’M GONNA BE WAITIN TILL THE COPS COME KNOCKIN . . . > @ J
im sorry…..this snippet is getting me upset….i need to hear the whole thing man….that melody is sooooo haunting and i cant get it out of my head. His voice is beyond sexy. That song is by far the best baby making song ive heard all year…
MAXWELL!! YES!!!!
His voice still gives me shivers. I am feeling this track so much. Production is great and his caramel voice flows so delicately on it. And yes, his falsetto is magical sometimes..like warm syrup just oozing over some fluffy pancakes…you can help but to eat it up.
Hes releasing a trilogy over the next three years. Black in 07 Summer in 08 and Night in 09. Making Black Summer’s Night. Im so excited! The new snippet is amazing.
I wish he would drop his album. I can’t believe Now was 6 years ago, I still bump Now and Embrya like they just came out.
This dude is so dope……It makes no since why he’s not mentioned with the greats. He’s the king of alternative soul (yes I made that up). Pure music. Unduplicated powerful music. Different splendid annoited music. He’s miles from others in my book. Truly the greatest singer songwriter producer combo in the business. Oh and until we see him with a dude the haters mine as well shut the F@(K up!!!!……. On the real tho……if that were found to be true that would ruin the experience for me being the heterosexual male that I am. That would take his musics credibillity away cus everytime he said “She” he meant “He”. Yuckkkkk!!!!! But getting back, Man if everyone listened to this music it would be all good. That track, those lyrics that arrangement those vocals are solid on “pretty wings”. He would win american idol off a rehearsal. He’s never had a bad CD. And the best part of it is that he has taken different risk and themes with all of them. That music makes me wanna take my lady bye the hand and you know. His music has a sensitive and honest vibe that makes me wanna be a better man to my lady. He makes listening to other music really hard. Real talk from a dude born and raised in the heart of south central L.A.(filled over masculine black heterosexual males), who woulda thought. Maxwell embodies how music should be….ya dig.
I love this man and style before people knew his name….:o)!

And Maxwell was on Sade’s group Sweetback.
my dawg is back!! I’m 28 and I miss the REAL r&b!!! I hate the these hiphop songs that just so happens to have someone singing on the track about sex or love. these youngns need someone of maxwell`s caliber to show its done.
in the words of jayz to the r&b cats that’s out now `imma show how to do this son`. glad to her ur back brother
TO ALL WHO DOUBTED THE “M”- THERE YA GO! HE’S RELEASING ALL THOSE YEARS OF ABSENCE IN OUR EARS! I DO A WEEKLY INTERNET RADIO SHOW INSPIRED BY MAX CALLED “MAX RADIO” SO CHECK IT OUT!!! http://WWW.BLOGTALKRADIO.COM/SUBMERGE
Love the new song! Can’t wait to see him in concert again!
this might be your best Maxwell..but you really can’t judge, you have done great with all your alubms…wish u the best on the next three that will coming out…love the new song…muahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
Dis song is sexxy!!
I love Maxwell and this song is so nice. I have been waiting and I want more. Please hurry up and give a girl more. I am your biggest fan and will always be loyal.
I love him
It’s sad. Just because a rumor goes around, all the sudden people are trying to find validation in a hand on a picture.
Who cares, he is still an amazing vocalist.
And as to Aaliyah’s falsetto, Maxwell put her to shame when it came to vocal range. Mariah Carey sings (or sang, her voice sucks now) in falsetto, Aaliyah sings in a high soprano.
This is a FIRE FIRE FIRE song .. love it im have it downloaded tonight!Damn i had a crush on him when i was 10 lol hahaha that coco song .. dont know the entire title but it was his first song.. lol love him
MAXWELL IS BACK ……..FINALLY!!!!!!! THIS SONG SPEAKS TO MY SOUL. WE ALL KNOW THAT MAXWELL VOICE IS BEAUTIFUL BUT PAY ATTENTION TO HIS LYRICS THIS BROHTER IS DEEP. THE LYRICS FOR THE SNIPPET ARE ON HIS MYSPACE PAGE.
MAX , I HAVE BEEN PATIENTLY WAITING FOR YOUR COMEBACK. ALL THIS TEASING IS KILLING ME. AT LEAST LET US GET A WHOLE SONG. LOL
LUV U
XOXOXOXO

I Love Maxwell and can’t wait for him to come back.
Love Maxwell’s music
like him better with the wild hair though!!
like him best with the wild hair!!
so very pleased to be among the many admirers (hate the word “fan”) of maxwell’s words and music. URBAN HANG SUITE and NOW stay on a sista’s playlist!!! he cannot drop that new joint soon enuff for moi!!!!!!
LOL, to the ones that address this issue,do many of you know what Falsetto is?Aaliyah is not a falsetto she is a high soprano.Falsetto is referred to when a man is imitating a high pitched woman like voice.I study music so I know this as a fact so really Chris is right.Brian McKnight,Marvin Gaye are other example of singers using their falsettos.
When i heard rumours about this i got all excitited…and now it’s a reality…WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I simply love love love him…sending him kisses all the way from Scandinavia!!!!
Goosebumps….that’s all I have to say…….damn….
Man, the muthership has landed!
What is the release date for the album?
When will the new cd be released?
This is awsome! look forward to more thanks!
This song is truly awesome!!! To hear the full version I had to go and listen to it live from when he sung it in Amsterdam on tour. He always was a gifted singer and he could make a song cry. I’m so happy to see that he still can and I’m just over the moon excited for when this album drops. I’ve been waiting for it since he released “Now” and I think it’s going to be worth the wait.
