Man I loveeeee this asshole! Ascension, Fortunate, Sumthin Sumthin and most recently Pretty Wings, **** all over any "r&b" song this decade. I really should listen to this album in whole.

ALBUM OF THE YEAR, my faves and your faves could NEVER!!!!! Would I lie?

Who else could make those classics, come back a decade later and make another?

My expectations are gonne be pretty high going into this. We'll see.

Quote:

Columbia R&B star Maxwell’s BLACKsummers’night, his first new release in eight years, since 2001’s Now, has an excellent shot at debuting at #1 next week on the HITS’ Top 50, with a total that looks like it will reach between 275-300k.

I'm Gonna Pick Up A Copy When I Head Out To Target Today
My Mom Loves Him!!!

Pretty Wings made me love r&b again. Yeah I did try listening one night, but I fell asleep. I'm sure it's good though. It's not like catchy music. It's chill

YES! The descriptions for the next two got me anticipating. It's nice to see that music that uses live instruments still sells.

of course you would

I like the album but "Now" remains his best so far

After Chrisette outsold Ciara 1st week, my faith in americans' music taste was restored a little, but if this MASTERPIECE really goes #1, it will be restored fully

I having really fallin in love with Pretty Wingz after the BET performance. I'mma check this out.

You speak truth and life into this thread.

My faves are:

Pretty Wings
Bad Habits (second single)
Fistful of Tears
Playing Possum
Stop The World
Phoenix Rise
