Almost 900k...that is good for an artist who has been in the game for a while and who was away for almost a decade.

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. Eryka's followup is coming in February 2010. Maxwell's sold a lot more, I agree a delay shouldn't be an issue. It will come out in 2010, they may just want the big holiday sales. I'd rather it in Summer again.

The 2nd vol. is definitely coming out in 2010 but I thought it kind of odd not to drop the SUMMER portion in Summer.

The man is such a class act, talented singer/songwriter and people were waiting for great adult r&b/soul music again. Pure un manufactured artists like him are sorely needed in this music industry, very few exist anymore.

Ppl need to stop gassing Queenlicia's head thinking her Adulteress Anthem is the sh*t when it clearly is NOT. UGH! It drives me crazy! Come on, Maxwell, quote "That's How Strong My Love Is" or "Distance & Time" or another classic from the album. At least he has the sense enough to like Broken Heart. Look at those sales tho! Get it, Maxwell!! Platinum status. I am so happy that this man's album was so well received.

www.rnbmusicblog.com/maxwell-on-blacksummers-night/10034/Maxwell On blackSUMMERS’ night,Music & Life – Maxwell who recently returned to the music scene after an eight-year hiatus with a number 1 album, “BLACKsummers’night”, did an interview with Trace TV where he spoke in depth about his career, music and more.The singer who is nominated for six Grammys this year,revealed that he does not listen to his own music because he spends too much of his time making it. On the 8 year hiatus he explained that he took a break to live his life for a minute and that he had fun being away from the spotlight.He added he needed to escape the conditional love that comes with fame and he needed to be alone to grow old.He shared a lot about his trilogy BLACKsummers’night such as the meaning and the fact it was inspired by a woman whom he dated: BLACK:love you lose Summers:love you find Night:love you make On the second part of his trilogy that is expected to be released later this year,he gave the following infos. The new album will be more African like,it stays in the earth with a gospel touch . His goal with Summers is to embellish the connection between America and Africa. Whereas Night will mainly have love ballads and bedroom songs. He also touched up on his Caribbean/Haitian upbringing by saying that there were a lot of rules,and he was forced to show a lot of respect to the elders who showed no love and had no respect for children.

Why make another thread? This thread is only 22 pages deep thus far, and all you have to do is change the title of the thread. Just a suggestion.
