R&B artist Maxwell first caught fans’ attention with the his hit single “Ascension (Don’t Ever Wonder)” off of his 1996 debut album Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite. He followed up with 1998’s Embrya and 2001’s Now, which both went platinum, but fans have had to wait seven long years for his next release. He is recording material for a three-part follow-up, titled Black Summers’ Night. The wait is finally over, with 2008’s Black, the first in a trilogy of albums, to be followed by Summers in 2009 and Night in 2010. Now you can see this highly acclaimed artist as he tours to support his new album. We hear Jazmine Sullivan will be on tour with him.
