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’m still excited about this cd…now hopefully d’angelo, rapheal saadiq, and lauryn hill can come on out. It’s okay, come on, we have put the lollipop garbage where it belongs….in the trash. Hurry, i’ve got Beyonce tied up and put in a closet. She’s taking a break, and our ears and eyes can use it. Better hurry up though, she’s gnawing through the ropes, i think her break will be short lived and the insult on our ears and sensibilities will began all over again.
So far we’ve got a album from Angie Stone, Jill Scott, coming out and Maxwell….awww, the fall should be beautiful. Now i just need something from Brandy, Toni Braxton, and Jon B. Then I will be on cloud nine.

I love Maxwell. Favorite songs “Ascension”, “Sumthin Sumthin, “Fortunate”, “LIfetime”, “A Woman’s Work”, “Luxury: Cococure”. Thank you for coming back out. Im sick of Neyo, J-Holiday and the rest of them fake ass singers. My ears can now start the healing process.

YES, Finally! I was wondering when some new Maxwell would come out! He such an amazing voice and classic songs. Love the song and I know the album will be great. @38, I’m fifteen and appreciate good music like this! @61 Maxwell is probably holding those necklaces himself!

Finally good music is returning. I’v had enough of blue eyed soul…not hating on Justin Timberlake or Robin Thicke. They made excellent CDs but neither of them can hold up against Maxwell. His music is timeless and beautiful. It truly touches me and like all great music it takes time. I like the song Pretty Wings and can truly relate to it. I don’t have to listen to anymore of the songs from this upcoming album. It’s as good as bought. I saw him in concert once and he turned it out. This man can put on a show. I have every CD and play them religiously. I don’t care if he’s gay, straight or Bi. The man can sing and good music is good music period.

@52: Here are the lyrics( I was having a little trouble understanding myself)LOL!!!
time will bring the real end of our trial
one day they’ll be no remnants
no trace no residual feelings within ya
one day u won’t remember me
yo face will be the reason i smile
but i will not see what i can not have forever
i’ll always love ya i hope u feel the same
oh u played me dirty ur game was so bad
u toyed with my affliction had to fill out my prescription
found the remedy i had to set u free
away from me
to see clearly the way that love can be
when u are not with me
i had to leave, i have to live
i had to lead, i had to live
if i cant have u let love set u free
to fly yo pretty wings around
pretty wings your pretty wings
your pretty wings around

# 70, if you look closely you will see that there is a female standing in front of him to his left. Her back is facing us and thats her hands filddling with his necklace. The picture is more clear on his myspace page.

Now this is what music should be. Something that you can play whether your in your car alone, or riding with your babies or having a romantic night with your spouse. Just a wonderful vibe from a heavenly voice. Pretty soon any man that doesn’t act like a pimp is going to be considered gay. And who acts gayer than a pimp? Do your thing Maxwell. I’m waiting to purchase.

Yeah, # 30 is dumb as hell.. CLEARLY Aaliyah used her falsetto in like EVERY song she made.. even songs where she sang low (”One In A Million”).. GET IT TOGETHER. Oh and I love Maxwell too!!!
and he IS Gay.. he said so himself. Look it up. but So What?
I can’t believe y’all late.. ONCE AGAIN!

At first glance I thought that was a picture of R.Kelly! I haven’t really always been a big fan of his, but he’s kinda grown on me…Not only are his lyrics well written but he can actually sing.

OH Shoot Maxwells’ makin a come back. He looks nice. I almost did’nt know who he was with his new look and all. From what I heard the song sounds pretty good although it sounds a little like eric benet but maybe that was just because i only heard may 35sec of it……

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!

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…

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.

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.

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.
