In 2009, neo-soul singer Maxwell released what he promised was the first part of a three-album trilogy, BLACKsummers'night. Seven years later, it seems as though he's finally ready to drop the second part later this summer. In a new interview with Essence, Maxwell revealed his excitement about this latest project. "I'm so hyped about the new album coming out," he said. "It's fresh and it's different, but it is what I do. It doesn't make you feel like, oh, yeah, that's going to come out in 1996. You're not going to feel that. At least I hope you don't."
He then went on at length about why he's finally getting around this record now:
Maxwell also revealed that the first single from BLACKsummers'night will be a track called "Lake by the Ocean" so keep your eyes and ears open for that in the coming months.
