Maxwell Is Back

By CocoaDiva on Aug 25, 2008 with Comments

My favorite crooner is back on the scene after an almost 7 year hiatus.  Maxwell may be back, but his sexy hair is not. (man I used to love that hair too!!)     

The 35-year-old soul singer, whose smooth voice and good looks have melted fans since the ’90s, announced his first tour in six years.

The North American tour kicks off in Boston on October 8th and includes stops in New York City and Los Angeles, according to a press release yesterday. The live dates will be a “pre-party tour celebration” for the singer’s upcoming trilogy album “Black Summers’ Night,” according to the release.

Maxwell’s last album, 2001’s seductively funky “Now,” followed on the heels of 1998’s “Embrya.” It has been 12 years since his 1996 hit debut “Urban Hang Suite” cemented his status as an R&B sex symbol. 

Currently doing the happy dance and praying Spelman’s Homecoming isn’t the last week of October when Maxwell hits Vegas!

    I.Am.Going.To.Pass.Out. If only everyone knew how this man was going to one day be my husband - he never quite received the memo - BUT I have been a Maxwell fan since the beginning! He made sugachocolatedumplin' women like myself feel good about themselves! Whew! Can't wait till the 31st...this will be a for sure treat and maybe I can be his........kidding.
  • I loved the hair too! Yay! He's coming to "The D".

    DeAngelo would have to put down the drugs, hit the gym, and go to a vocal coach. They said he left the music scene because he was getting too much attention and he was forced to change his image. The nail in the coffin was the "How Does It Feel" video where he was bukkid nekkid....ah..I loved that video as a teenager lol.

    To all of the public health professionals, please note the concert dates above... you will see a correlation between those date and birth rates 9 month after the concert. LOL

    On a serious note, I am glad Maxwell is finally coming back. So... can someone get DeAngelo to come back, ASAP?

    Nope, you're good on the homecoming conflict. Your homecoming's on 10/25, even though there's a certain homecoming on 10/18 that will be much better. :)
    I emailed you the homecoming schedules offline.

    Anyway, back on subject. I'm glad to see that Maxwell is coming back and is making music again. Here's the problem I have: Outside of this blog, who in our immediate network will even know about this? Because of the times in the music business, hardly know one will really know he's on tour or that he even has an album out.
    I was having brunch with my cousin and her homegirl yesterday and we were talking about real music that's out today, and how it sucks. Then she asked about why doesn't any of the good groups/artists from the 90's not making music anymore. I pointed out that most of those artists were tired of having corporate America making more money off their music than they were, so they went independent. They sell less units and advertise less, but they get more money into their pockets, along with royalties from their 90's work. I asked both of them have they heard the latest music from Mint Condition, Brian McKnight, or Boyz II Men. Of course they said no, and it's because all 3 have been independent artists for a while now, and unless you listen to Grown Folks Radio formats, you wouldn't even hear their music.
    Thanks for this blog, now I have my radar up for when the album drops.
