Maxwell Maps Out Summers' Tour

Neo soul singer Maxwell has followed up the surprise arrival of his new single "Lake By the Ocean" by mapping out his Summers' Tour. The trek will likely feature tracks off Maxwell's upcoming LP blackSUMMERS'night, the follow-up to 2009's similarly titled BLACKsummers'night and the second album in what the singer called a trilogy.

After a show the New Orleans Fair Ground on April 23rd, Maxwell's Summers' Tour formally kicks off June 10th in Tacoma, Washington and wraps August 7th in Jacksonville, Florida. Check out Maxwell's official site for full ticket information.

"Sonically, it's a lot more hi-fi," Maxwell told Rolling Stone of blackSUMMERS'night in 2014. "I wouldn't say electronic because it's still pretty soulful and we have strings and we have all the live instruments going on, but it's just a little bit more trippier than the first album. Because the first part was BLACK, and I associate that with soul. I really wanted it to be really traditional. Obviously the way it ended up being, it's just a classic, sonic band sound. This one has the same elements, but there's something a little bit more... I would say cyborg-ish about it."

In a statement following the unveiling of "Lake By the Ocean," Maxwell said he's been recording his new album in New York over the past few years with some of the collaborators who helped him on his breakout 1996 LP Urban Hang Suite. "I'm working with all of the same people on the new album," Maxwell said. "It's always been a family type of thing, and I think that that's what, maybe, has made it special. It feels, to me, even better than what we did 20 years ago."

Seven years and counting between albums. He isn't exactly prolific, is he?

He was my late friend Angel's favorite artist. She's probably still shaking her fist at him now. lol

I thought the live version was better than the single version. Anyone agree?
