Update: The press conference went down in NYC yesterday and Butta of SoulBounce was front and center. Check out her flicks from the event.
Get ready to send some hateration and holleration her way because yes, she did meet him up close and personal!
Of course you know she has live video. Check it out!
On Saturday afternoon, while most everyone was out playing in the sunshine, very quietly, without pretense, Maxwell tweeted what appears to be the tracklist for his upcoming album, Black Summer’s Night. You should already know it will be in stores on July 7th. But I, my friends, shall be getting a sneak peek at the Essence Music Festival. Hate on haters! 
According to his tweets, on Friday, he was headed to master the album. Then the next day he just randomly tweeted several titles in a row. I was confused until I saw “Pretty Wings.” It had to be the track list!
- Phoenix Rise
- Playing Possum
- Help Somebody
- Fistful of Tears
- Stop the World
- Love You
- Pretty Wings
- Cold
- Bad Habits
TOO Short and sweet, yet intriguing!
For those skeptical susies out there, I can confirm without a shadow of a doubt that it really is Maxwell tweeting. Can’t say how but Viv wouldn’t steer you wrong.
So it looks like we may be able to give our collective side eyes a much-needed rest. I think it will really happen this time. Looks like we will have a lot of little Maxie’s, Baracks, Michelles, Sashas and Malias making their debuts April 2010!
Stay tuned to SoulBounce (Did they catch swine flu on Spring Break or something? Nova does have a love jones for bacon. Just sayin.) to eventually get up close and personal coverage of the press conference for the album going down at Sony tomorrow.
Also, the video for “Pretty Wings” is completed and will be streamed here.
Note: I can’t confirm that this is the order the tracks will appear on the album. I’m just listing in the order he tweeted. I personally don’t care if it went B, C, A, F, D. Just as long as I see something on July 7th. Mmkay?
Dang… I stopped following him because he never said anything… I guess I need to start following him again
I can’t contain my excitement! July 7th can’t get her soon enough.
I can’t wait for this release…it’s about time!!
Oh I.SAW.THAT.
All I could so was smile ridiculously for the rest of the day…lmao
And I’m with you! Hell he can give a single per week at this point, I DON’T CARE!!
I will have to raise from the papers to take a break for Maxi no doubt.
I ain’t buying it if it’s only 9 songs. After all he’s put us through waiting on this album he’d better come CORRECT!
I’ve definitely been waiting to hear this album just like everybody else out there. So yes, I will pick it up when it’s ready.
I don’t care if it’s only got nine songs on it. As long as I get to hear something new from Maxwell it’s all good.
I was wondering that about Soulbounce too!
We’re coming back! Providing y’all with quality sometimes saps us of our energy. The aural love and quirky perspectives are forthcoming
I’m extremely curious to see what comes of this tracklisting … especially three thru five …
Seems like it could be some sorta “What’s Going On?” type album, ya know?
Thanks for the tracklist. Twitter is out of control. If you don’t catch a Tweet at the moment it is lost in the shuffle.
Let’s face it. I wouldn’t care if he was singing from the back of a box of cracker jacks!! I’m just glad he’s back and can’t wait for tour time.
I agree w CreoleInDC.
He wants us to buy his 9song cd? It better be 9.99 then.
I think we’ve all been very patient & nice 2/w Maxwell. His tour last fall was sold out with no new songs, so I know he made $. Not sure how much he owes Columbia for the 6yrs it has taken 2 record this3cd set but…that is his problem.
