Maxwell Thanks Musicians After Scoring No.1 Debut

Sunday, November 22, 2009

Newsroom | Posted on 07/15/09 | Filed Under: R&B News, Maxwell

Maxwell has claimed the no.1 spot on this week's coveted Billboard 200 albums chart, thanks to the debut of "BlackSummers'Night" !

The album, Maxwell's first release since 2001's "Now," moved 316,000 copies in the United States alone, reports Nielsen Soundscan.

Part of a trilogy due to be released over the next few years, Maxwell's new disc features the Urban AC charting singles "Bad Habits" and "Pretty Wings".

Speaking with Singersroom, Maxwell admits the anticipated album is not a one man show. In fact, he credits the musicians behind the project for being "at the top of their game".

"I made this album and these albums (ie: "Now" and "Embrya") with the assistance of so many great people. Musicians on this album are at the top of their game. To be in that zone or that place where you�re just making music because you really love it� you can tell the difference," says Maxwell.

"Blacksummers'Night" is available in stores and through digital retailers now.

I knew he would do well because his true fans never went anywhere. It's like being involved with someone special and they suddenly go away. You are left wondering what happened? When will they come back? Will I ever see them again? Then, you hear about them coming back "into town"(new album), maybe catch a few glimpses of them ( BET Awards 08 ) and you begin to feel delighted, anxious, excited and then you "reconnect" with them again and then BOOM! Magic all over again baby!!!! He's wonderful.
