If you’re not into reading music reviews, you’re in luck because we’re not fans of writing them. If you want to stop reading after this next sentence, we’ll understand. Buy Maxwell’s BLACKsummers’night. It’s dope. It’s soulful. It’s R&Bish without the John Legend-esque factor that commands you to light candles and get down.  It’s a mellowed out version of Raphael Saadiq’s The Way I See It but with D’Angelo-like harmonies and jazz hands. It’s a short album, 9 songs, so you can listen to the whole album and leave us your thoughts the same night you get it. Maxwell’s BLACKsummers’night is available here. And if you haven’t picked up Raphael Saadiq’s The Way I See It, please do so. You won’t be sorry.
