He also has other things than hair like talent and vocal ability. His hair is low in the Pretty Wings video. He cut his hair like 2ys ago.

How old are you, 15? How many times have you added a weave.

Happy Birthday Maxwell!!!!!

Nick715 said:

psst...that was a joke. do I really have to explain it? Tavis took up enough time talking about it when he could've been asking more questions about the upcoming music or who'd be playing on the album (Matthewman? Ware?).

sheesh. some people. you'd think the "" would've been a tip-off. oh well.

and for the record, I have neither the ethnic background nor gender usually associated with a weave.

thank you for the BORNDAY wishes, those VALENTINES goodies and these BDAY cookiez! greatest gift in the WORLd a donation to YELE HAITI.ORG!

My bad. I just hate when people come in a thread of an artist they don't like just to bash. In email it's very hard to detect the "tone". Did not notice the emoticon.

this will be the first Maxwell that I've bought...for MYSELF

but my mom will probably borrow it and keep it for herself

Nick715 said:

Awww...I missed his birfisday! Happy Belated! He's probably celebrating the entire weekend. Now we are the same age for a few months. That's the closest we'll get. Oh did I say that outloud?

Agree! NOW was just like ohh but Embyra was like WOW & Urban Hangsuite (but LIVE JESUS Xist - I thought I died and went to heaven - The MTV Unplugged album)! If you guys do not have the Sweetback album - 1st one, please purchase. Maxwell has a song on there that is fantastic, "Softly Softly."

Feel you tremendously!

I can't wait though until July 7, 2009. I can't take this anticipation anymore. I just want the MUSIC!

I've been following The Latest Maxwell News for the past 2 years on updates on this ALBUM.

Only about 37 minutes of music in total... Hopefully it is 37 minutes qualitytime.

The thing I wonder about is if the music buying public of today is actually able to absorb the subtleties of an artist such as Maxwell. When everything has to all jump out at you at once, the way today's music is, will the Max be able to garner any new fans

Justfortheloveofit said:

I was a bit concearned about this as well.
One thing I love about Max is that he isn't/wasn't afraid to let songs have long musical passages. Kinda what seperated him from most other artists. Imo.
But I'll wait to hear material before passing judgement.
I like Pretty Wings so he's off to a good start.

I didn't like it either when I first heard it on the radio for the first time. Then I went back and listened to it again, and now I love it. I thinks that's only because the video won me over. It sounds like something Prince would have sung to me.

Nick715 said:

He looks kinda hard in the face on that picture! Like he had a rough hiatus or something...

Nick715 said:

If I remember correctly early tracklisting listed a song called "Never Live w/o You" or something of the like. I wonder what happened to it...
