Short description
Maxwell's long-awaited and much-delayed fourth studio album 'Black', his first for eight years, is the follow-up to 2001's 'Now' and the first in a projected trilogy called 'BlackSummers' Night'. Maxwell has long been a favourite among fans of neo-soul, eschewing hype and the limelight in favour of simply making good records. The single 'Pretty Wings' gives a good indication of where he is at on this album, channeling Al Green over a relaxed yet sultry groove that sounds simultaneously classic and ultra-modern.
Review
R&B's loneliest heart goes back to the bedroom on his new album of old school soul ballads.
