Was glad to see him get so many nominations. An AOTY nomination would have been the perfect cherry, but no biggie.

So happy about the Grammy nods. Next step: taking a couple home. He deserves more than just one.

Congrats to Mr. Maxwell on his Grammy nominations. He deserves all of them, respectfully. 2009 really belonged to him with the R&B males and the album is fire. He really brought R&B and soul music back this year with "BLACKsummers'night".

Six nominations really is no joke aye. I just hope he is added to the performers roster now. That would be epic.

Been lurking for a while and what better place to make my first post. I saw him in concert in Oct and he was amazing and it was as if he was never underground for 8 yrs.
Love this man and so happy for the noms, I wanted record or album myself but Ill take it.

I find myself liking it as much, if not more than the first listen, and i'm still not skipping a single track. can't wait for the next installment.

They may still release a 4th single, who knows. "Fistful Of Fears" is the 3rd single, but there's been no official adds date yet. It is currently #25 at Urban AC.

Bonjour from Paris !! My first post from a serial Maxwell fan ! I invite you to read this very good interview Maxwell did while he was on tour in Europe. www.soulmusic.com/ma20in4.htmlMaxwell gives those informations : "David Nathan : Alright, well the last question is, you made reference to the other two parts of the trilogy, so when do you expect the next part to come out? Maxwell : November 2010 is the scheduled, tentative date for the second part, and I think the third part is probably in the summertime again. DN: Of 2011? M: Yes, and there will be 10 songs on the second one and 11 songs on the third one, obviously 9 songs for 2009, 10 songs for 2010 and 11 songs for 2011." Maxwell prepare also 3 more videos : Fistful of tears; Stop the world and Love You Have a nice day

November is later than I thought. After the success of the first installment, I wouldn't be surprised if the label moved the release date up so it can be eligible for the 2011 Grammys. Also, if the second were to drop in November 2010 and the third in Summer 2011, then he'd be up against himself at the 2012 Grammys and it would likely split the votes and hurt his chances of winning then.

I'm glad there will be more singles, but I was hoping for a Summer 2010 release.
As long as they are in 3 calendar years as it was planned.

Well this album is hot, pushing platinum so I'd expect Columbia to try and milk it. Perhaps 4 singles total? Im surprised if they're going with 5, as I know they will do a video for his next single FOT.
Hopefully the next trilogy if its well received like this one, he will get more noms in the big categories .

I hope he does not end up doing like Erykah Badu with her NewAmerykah trilogy. The first part came out almost 2 years ago, and we've yet to hear from the followup. I am sure since Maxwell's has been more successful, that issue won't occur. I just hope his record label keeps up the momentum.

Maxwell has already recorded and completed all the songs for the other two albums in the trilogy.
