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.
He’s back with a new look too…he cut all his hair. I’m ready to hear this new album.

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.

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.

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.

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….

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

@ #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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.
