"Bad Habits"

Video: Maxwell- Pretty Wings.

The video hit the net pretty fast [SM] considering it just premiered no longer than 30 minutes ago. The song and video have been highly anticipated for the longest while. I mean...it's been eight years! Fall in love below:

Black Summers' Night takes your breath away July 7th!

Word On The Street Is..

..Maxwell will be premiering his video for "Pretty Wings" TOMORROW on BET's 106 and Park. I haven't read this on any official site so just be on the look out. If it doesn't happen, you can always check out the premiere on Musze.com. The song will also be available for digital download tomorrow.

Maxwell's "Black Summers' Night" Release Date.

You got it. The tweet read around the world: "'Black'summers'night: JULY SEVENTH TWO THOUSAND NINE!" Okay, I'm being dramatic with the tweet read around the world part (considering I just realized I wasn't following him). Luckily I visited HoneySoul today or else I would have been completely out of the loop.

May 5th! June 16th! July 7th! Let's go!

Maxwell Sits Down With Associated Press.

If you are catching him on tour, you are very lucky. In the video, he says that he is going to share three new songs. ""I chose only three because I don't want to bombard people with music they don't know. Personally I hate when bands do that because I prefer to hear what I like and what I love."

Black Summer's Night should be dropping early next year so look out for it.

It's been so long, Maxwell. Welcome back.
