♫ Maxwell - Bad Habits
Check out this new song from Maxwell entitled “Bad Habits”. It’s off of his fourth studio album, BLACKsummers’night. The new album is the first installment of a trilogy and is a much darker but soulful compilation.
Maxwell on making the album
“Every time I’d get in the studio it would be like am I trying to outdo this last record? I just wanted to make a really good record. To be able to take a risk and to have that genuine interest from people is so rare. It actually made making this record even more precious. It was that pure energy. It was like, ‘oh, this is why I do it.’ It’s because people care about real music and they’ll wait for you.”

I cannot wait until this release. Oh my Maxwell, is always good to the last drop. I miss him and so does the music industry, if we could only get L. Hill back things would be complete. Wishful thinking.

I saw Maxwell in concert last fall. I do NOT understand why he did not release THIS song instead of Pretty Wings. This cut has a much more mature and seasoned flava and is what I expected out of a man with more refined and evolving taste.
This is the Maxwell I was looking forward to hearing. Welcome BACK!

This song is tight but its on a mix like a neo soul mix and I’m mad cause I can’t remember the name of the CD i heard this on, but it had GOAPELE or whatever her name is who is fly, RASHAAN PATTERSON and others who are underrated but it flowed perfectly.

I like this song a lot and am glad he chose this as his SECOND single but I love “Pretty Wings” and am glad he released that as his FIRST single. This new song is really laid back though…..I can’t wait to see Maxwell on July 27th in Norfolk!!!!

I was waiting for someone to mess up the flow (talking about not buying this). Oh well, you got me to respond, are you happy?
Anyway @ Britney/#26, that’s EXACTLY what I said when he first started singing on the track. Oh my God!!!! I love this man!
I’m glad that he actually takes the time to put out quality material. He’s not trying to fit into the cookie cutter stuff that’s out now…
Real GROWN FOLKS music.

Ahhh…
The anticipation for this record is killing me. The R&B/Soul community is buzzing like crazy waiting for this genius to release his new work. On a more relative scale, I, along with all of my girlfriends/female associates cannot WAIT! This track is BAD! I love it! Simply plain.

Wow…this is pretty damn smooth. I like it alot. I’m definitely going to pick up this album. I may need to brush up on his old albums before this one comes out. I wasn’t into music during his hey day, but I’m hip to the game now.
Good Look, Max.
