Maxwell
BLACKsummers'night
(Columbia)

Following an eight-year reclusion from the music industry, Maxwell has finally returned to the scene. Back then, this neo-soul singer was known for his upbeat, funky and sensuous style. But with age, his music has become more toned down. BLACKsummers'night is an album comprising cooler, more laidback jazzy soul. But all is not lost for those seeking more upbeat tracks; just check out 'Help Somebody' and 'Love You' if you miss the conventional, fast-paced Maxwell style.
