Maxwell is Number One


Part One of Maxwell's trilogy of albums, BLACKsummersnight, has debuted at number one.

"Maxwell makes big news on the Billboard 200 albums chart, entering at No. 1 with "BLACKsummers'night" and a career-high sales week of 316,000. It's his second chart-topper. The singer's last set, 2001's "Now," also opened at No. 1 with a then-best 296,000 copies sold."

This album is fantastic and deserves that spot. Very real, gritty, and honest lyrics and the sound is impeccable. Standout track by far is "LoveYou", it's simply amazing. When he hits that second voice and changes up the vocal arrangement, ah, pure love! The deluxe version features one of the best corresponding DVD's I have ever seen of any artist. The entire DVD was watchable and enjoyable, but maybe that was just Maxwell's smokey voice. Check it out and grab a copy!
