BLACK took some time to grow on me but when it did, I bumped that album constantly. I remember SUMMER'S sounding like a compilation of songs with very little to no cohesiveness. But then I have to remember that it was SEVEN years in the making. I also noticed on SUMMER’S that Maxwell’s voice changed. I’m not thrilled about this new single but I’m looking forward to completing the trilogy. | |

Cool! Nice song nothing special...read that he was inspired by Prince when he wrote this one..i can see that. The last great song imo by Maxwell was Lake By the Ocean | |

I'll check it out. Don't feel the new song but don't hate it either. It's not complete yet but So far I'm disappointed with the Trilogy especially disc 2 BLACKsummersnight. It's not as good as Urban Hang Suite, Embrya or Now. I always thought the Trilogy project was complete and would be released every year. In my head I assumed BLACKsummersnight would be really hardcore funk,blackSUMMERSnight would be more Embrya-ish and NIGHT would be his most sensual, quiet storm album ever. | |

I love Maxwell;but, I’m not feeling this song. Maybe a few more listens will help. | |

Sounds nothing like Lenny. His singing is really powerful. The music is sparse but in tha pocket. It's as good as the new Bruno shat. All you others say Hell Yea!! ![]() | |

Some - very few - artists have released records so great that they deserve that one listens to all their new releases. Not saying you have to like them, but to listen to them at least once. Maxwell is one of those artists in my view.
So hey, get a new record out... I'l be listening

This is the lead single, and the Night album is being released in Spring 2022. He released "Shame" in 2018, I believe that was a stand alone single. | |

So, let's take a side bar and talk about Maxwell's albums. Let's take a minute and rate them. " ![]() | |

For me its:
1) Embrya - It might be because its the first of his albums I heard but theres just something about this one. Can't think of an album by him or anyone lese that sounds quite like this. Its apt the cover has him under water as thats how the production feels to me.
2) BLACKSummersNight - I thought this was a spectacular come back after so long away. His most song centric release.
3) Urban Hang Suite - Brilliant although it tails of a bit in the second half for me
4) Now - Very solid release with some of his best material (Lifetime is my favourate Maxwell song) but feels like he's overcompensating and playing it a bit safe after the commercial failure of Embrya
5) BlackSUMMERSNight - Still really decent but just doesn't feel nearly as focused as his other albums. I was worried when he didn't come through on his plan to release the trilogy in consecutive years as I had a feeling the focus would be lost | |

By the way, he performed a medley of hits on the recent Soul Train Awards. I guess he received the Living Legend Award? [Edited 12/7/21 14:08pm] " ![]() | |

Why do you say that? Are the lyrics completely garbage or something? That's Lenny's defining characteristic. He wants to fly so very high like a dragonfly? Does he realize dragonflies fly an average of about 6 feet off the ground? Idiocy. That's what happens when appearance and vibes come before songwriting. | |
