Maxwell Plans Upcoming Album!
Maxwell is still feeling "incredibly good" about his own monster -- 2009's "BLACKsummers'night," his first album in eight years, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 last July, went platinum and won two Grammy Awards. Maxwell also made history as the first male artist to score three consecutive No. 1 hits -- "Pretty Wings," "Bad Habits" and "Fistful of Tears" -- on the Urban Adult airplay chart. He predicts that another one or two singles are possible from "BLACKsummers'night" ("Love You" and "Stop the World" are the odds-on favorites), but he's also putting the finishing touches on its follow-up, "BlackSUMMERS'night," which he expects to release some time between September and February, possibly previewing one of the new songs in his upcoming live shows.
"I don't want to given exact date," he explains, "because I don't want to have people wait and have it get pushed back. Then it looks like you're nervous or something's wrong when there's nothing wrong. You're just trying to make sure all the ducks are in a row."
Maxwell, who will complete the trilogy with "Blacksummers`NIGHT," says he has all the songs together for "BlackSUMMERS'night," with "some overdubs" still left to record. He describes the set as "a hybrid of music," with "a little bit of a rock element" influenced by groups such as the xx, Temper Trap, Fleet Foxes and Animal Collective. "There's a Coachella festival guy in me that loves all the indie rock stuff," Maxwell says. "So I want to put that in there in a really subtle way -- sprinkle it on there but keep the soul, keep the blues. That's what I'm known for, so why go too far off the beaten path, y'know?"
