[Nass.]

Très beau live.J'avais déjà aimé la même reprise avec Brian McKnight et Aguilera qui était pas mal non plus.

 

 

[Mr.Goodnight]

J'ai trouvé ça trop culcul pour moi même si joli...et pourquoi des lunettes ? ^^

[Charlie Ray]

Magnifique le live.

(Par contre, j'ai envie de lui mettre des claques quand il porte ses lunettes... Ne me demandez pas pourquoi. )

Performer 4 albums entier en deux soirées, je trouve ça dingue mais génial.

[Mr.Goodnight]

Intéressant en effet, surtout de voir comment il compte performer l'opus embrya.

Des nouvelles concernant Summers. Le premier single s'intitule Of All Kind, et voici un extrait des paroles du morceau :

 

one day in and the next you're out

there's no way to insure that no danger

will not be found

will your angels hear the sounds

will i ever be where you are where spirits go

if my end should come i can only hope that..

 

there is a light and no end in sight

where god and you are combined

in the brightest light of all kind..

[Mr.Goodnight]

Curieux enfin d'entendre le deuxième volet mais sincèrement, si c'est aussi décevant que le premier, qu'il arrête de prendre des années pour au final ne sortir rien de bien fantastique musicalement.

[R&B Junkie]

C'est vrai que j'ai été à moitié convaincu par la première partie Black, bien que sans être mauvaise reste en dessous de ce qu'il avait pu faire jusqu'à présent. J'espère que Summers sonnera plus comme ce qu'il a fait pour Urban Hang Suite qui reste le must de sa disco pour moi.

[Mr.Goodnight]

@kanye, Oui mais je n'avais jamais réussi à voir les lives en entier avant aujourd'hui.

VH1 ont une politique de suppression des liens à tel point efficace que tu abandonnes très vite les recherches. ^^

Q&A: R&B crooner Maxwell on upcoming album, dance music’s domination and D’Angelo’s comeback

 

Maxwell may have cancelled his six-date, three-city U.S. tour because of vocal hemorrhaging and swelling, but he’s still hard at work on his upcoming album.

 

The soul crooner says “blackSUMMERS’night,” due out this year, will be more upbeat compared to his previous efforts. But don’t expect to fist pump to his new sound.

 

He also said the follow-up to 2009’s Grammy-winning “BLACKsummers’night” will take on a gospel sound.

 

In a recent interview, the 39-year-old talks about his new music, D’Angelo’s comeback and dance music’s domination on U.S. radio.

 

 

AP: How’s the new album coming along?

 

 

Maxwell: It’s my daily chore, let me tell you. The third part of it, “NIGHT,” is as well my daily chore. And I’ve got these other things that I’m doing with friends, other people’s projects as far as production, possibly guesting, those things come in and out. ...(But) I like it though. I got to tell you man, like, definitely it moves, it’s not like I abandoned everything and I’m going to color my hair purple and do the punk thing. No but it definitely kind of moves somewhere else past the “BLACKsummers’night” super-soul perspective music; the way that that record was, we have a soul thing and we have a gospel thing on the new album, but we’re definitely much more futuristic without the Auto-Tune (laugh

s.)

 

 

AP: Is it a little more dance-y?

 

 

Maxwell: Yeah. It definitely gets you up in ways you wouldn’t expect, you know. We have this song called “Of All Kind” and it’s kind of slow, but it boogies. And then we have up-tempos, we’ve got some stuff. I always want to make it right and I’ll be honest with you, when I came off the tour (in 2010) I really wanted to get back in (the studio) again, but I just wanted to take a break and just have a little bit of fun. So you charge up your batteries and you have something to talk about because you went out, was talking to some girl about whatever, you have things to experience. Then I got a chance to not change the album, but take it up a notch and give it that 2012 thing because I had written so much of “BLACKsummersnight” over the course 2005-2007, and so some of the sound is outdated and you just want to be up-to-date, so that’s what’s going on right now with “SUMMERS.”

 

 

 

AP: Dance music has taken over U.S. radio. Are you a fan?

 

Maxwell: I like some of that of music; I can’t say I would go full-blown like that in terms of me doing that kind of music. I just think people want to pick up the pace a little bit. ...Sometimes I’m listening to Hot 97 and you’ll a like Rihanna song that’s seriously really a house record. Let’s just keep it real. That’s just a house record; it should be at the club. It should not be coming after Young Jeezy. But it does now. I think it’s cool. I think it keeps it new. I’d be bored if radio just was stuck to one format, but will I go and make “house” records on my album? No. I probably would have a remix because I have no problem with that and I do like house on some level, but it’s just not what I do. But I think some guys do it well. I think Chris Brown does it well ... More like pop artists, they’re more into hits. I’m not hit-driven. I get a lot of songs that people call me about being on or being involved in, and then I hear them later and they’re like smash hits and I’m like, “Oh, I could have had that as a hit.” But I’m not so concerned because I’m not really trying to carve out this whole hit-monster energy. I want to be the thing you go to after you had all of that and had enough of all of that. That’s my market. That’s my little lane right there.

 

 

AP:D’Angelo is having a similar comeback like you did in 2009. How does it feel to see his return?

 

Maxwell: I’m a fan. I couldn’t not respect what he does. We’re one year apart in age and we came up around the same time. It’s great, great, great news to hear that. It really is.
