Maxwell - " Pretty Wings "
Finally, news from Maxwell who has taken a hiatus so long that he might well be considered a new artists. I seriously don't understand how an artist would abandon their fan base for so long and then expect a swift return. Last time he was around was with Now. That was 8 years ago. But, now he is about to release a trilogy of album titled Black Summer's Night. The first one is Black and it slated for a summer release. The new piece of information we get is the track listing. Click below for it. [...]

The fabulous noise pop band Crystal Stilts are playing two sure to be excellent New York area shows in the near future. The first is on Sunday April 12th opening for Comet Gain at Music Hall Of Williamsburg. Two weeks later they are playing at Maxwell's where you can eat delicious crab cakes before the [...]
back to music. Click on the image below to see stills from the video for his new single, Pretty Wings. You can hear a snippet of the song, an appropriately delicate ballad, at his myspace . Maxwell also reports that Sade is finishing an album, which he calls "monolithic."
The interweb is just too darned big for one wee blog to cover. So here's some interesting finds you'll no doubt enjoy, courtesy of my soulful blogging brethren. Nu-Soul Mag has a review of the awesome new Yellowtail album. SoulBounce has got some steamy shots from Maxwell's new project...which is up there with D'Angelo's allegedly forthcoming album as the most waited on, and possibly mythical soul album to come this decade. The Audio Diva has a limited-time only collection of rare gems from Janet Jackson . So grab 'em while you [...]

![Essence Adds Acts To Festival, Discord To Gibson House [The Less Detestable, The Indoor Festival]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1590218_lg.jpg)
I was fully on board with the Essence Music Festival lineup already, based on my previously untested theory that if Al Green , Maxwell and Teena Marie in the same place, something magical will happen, possibly involving a open portal to an alternate soul dimension where Don Cornelius is emperor and there are funky unicorns of some sort. Today, the festival added another stack of artists to the already spectacular bill, including Lionel Richie , Ryan Leslie , Little Freddie King and the Gap Band's Charlie Wilson . Also, there's [...]
True to my dopeboy roots, I've started to buy whoorides every other season. Not that I'm doing it to duck the cops (I will) or because I like a cash transaction (I do), it's more because I prefer to put miles on a beat up ass car that's already taken it's dents & dings as opposed to driving my main vehicle. That way, it gets fucked it...so be it. K.I.M. A dude backed into my last one, causing a small bit of damage. I ended up settling with his insurance company for more money than I actually paid for the [...]
Will Black Summer's Night will ever see the light of day, but this live performance gives us hope. And the direction of the music is more big band less neosoul. But, for all the lo-tempo fans there is one song that surfaced titled "Pretty Wings" that will definately tickle your fancy. Click below to hear it:
Over the river and through the PATH train to Heartless Bastards we go! Just as we secretly suspected, Maxwell's – or, the tiny room with huge sound - proved to be the absolute perfect spot to see Erika Wennerstrom – or, the tiny singer with a huge voice – and fellow Bastards execute the most winning formula in rock music. It seems simple: two guitars, bass, drums, and a voice bartered from making a deal with the devil, all turned impossibly loud and delivered with no pretense or agenda other than playing [...]
This song was so good I had to share it. As a child Maxwell's albums were gold to me. The Neo Soul movement in 90s that included artists like Maxwell, India Arie, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Musiq Soulchild etc. spoke to me, hell it still speaks to me today. The Alchemists production has always been tight and this track benefits from his production style, Maxwells soulful tone and Twista's rapid fire lyricism. I can't help but continue to hope that Hip Hop like this makes its resurgence over the next year and Neo Soul artists come back inspired by the [...]
I hide my tears from the crowd just by smiling sample please? Do I like this because of .... Twista's staccato's? or the copious amounts of Maxwell? huge smiles when I heard this yesterday - Kind of hard to explain - I know it's not for the purists but still, if you grew up with this sound in a NON hiphop orientated environment, it will always put movement in your shoulders. I'd have bumped this for a month back when I was 15. MP3: The [...]
Neo-soul king Maxwell and underground Hip Hop's The Alchemist ? Yes this unlikely pairing with Chicago's Twista along for the ride, bring something unexpected and good to the world. The song is off The Alchemist's upcoming album called Chemical Warfare ( February 10 ). To be honest I was expecting a little bit more but it's still a good track. On various other sites the song title has been incorrectly labeled as "Hide My Tears" and "My Tears" but actual song title is "Smile" . [...]
Props to OS for the linkage. The Alchemist f/Maxwell & Twista - " Smile "
![The Essence Festival: Bringing Al Green, Beyoncé, And Teena Marie Together At Last [The Less Detestable, The Indoor Festival]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1493151_lg.jpg)
Wouldn't it be great if Coachella took a few booking cues from their Southern (indoor) counterpart, the Essence Festival? There is one act crossing over from the desert lineup (New Orleans natives the Knux), but really, how great would a Teena Marie set in the tents be? More interesting than Steve Aoki, that's for sure. Thankfully, if the economy hasn't drained your savings yet, you can attend both fests—Coachella's in mid-April, while Essence is over July 4 weekend. The lineup, as announced so far, is below the cut; if you can't get excited [...]
