Description

In April 1996, Maxwell began redefining classic soul music for a new generation with the release of his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite’. Fueled in part of the US Gold single ‘Ascension (Don’t Ever Wonder)’, the Grammy nominated ‘Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite’ was certified Platinum in the US, less than a year after its release and achieved Double Platinum status, in recognition of sales of more than 2 million copies in the US alone, in 2002. ‘Black Summers Night' is his highy-anticipated new album that is challenging, mature, sensual, courageous amd emotionally open and a collection well worth the wait. Composed of nine indelible songs, the album finds Maxwell exploring life with a bold and purposeful sensuality unmistakably his own. Also a constant throughout is its live and often raw sound. The entire album was recorded with an extraordinary live ten-piece band. He is taking it back to when a solo genius artist offered music that was close to perfection. No synthesizers, no duets. Just Maxwell bare and in the flesh ready to give old fans and new ones a sensory experience that he never fails to bring.

Press Reviews

His sentiments rarely transcend the boudoir--and listeners lulled by the album's unvaryingly sleek, high-gloss beats may just drift off to dreamland before they get there Entertainment Weekly

Maxwell's voice is so unusually rich and supple that at best, as on the mercurial 'Bad Habits,' you cannot help but disregard his fondness for cliche Observer Music Monthly

Comments about COLUMBIA Maxwell - Black Summers Night:

Maxwell absence was depressing for the real r'm'b fans of his soulful, soft voice. The distinguish vacalist is back with style, more pop oriented r'm'b, with few candidates for a real hit. It's a pleasure to listen great job thtat he did with the producer. Waiting for the second and third chapter of the trilogy. Recommended.
