TMB's Throwback Video of the Day ... Maxwell - "...Til the Cops Come Knockin'"

15 years. That's how long it has been since Maxwell's first album became available to us all. What a journey! And oh how we missed him during that 8 year stint of absence from the music scene. I know I sure did. Maxwell is the King of Neo-soul. I dare anyone to say otherwise. Everything about this man is beautiful! The vocals, the lyrics, pre-hair cut. Everything. And besides, how on Earth would any of us get these babies here without him? Ha! (Side Note: I am not responsible for any children made during the listening of this song). I've experienced nothing but greatness from Maxwell even with only 4 albums under his belt; and I hope he continues to bless us with his music in the years to come. Off the 1996 debut album Urban Hang Suite "...Til the Cops Come Knockin'" is definitely something you can chill to, have that glass of red wine and cap off your evening. I encourage you all to do just that. Enjoy the song and the rest of your Friday night.

We'll be back with the 3rd installment of TMB's Throwback Video of the Day, April 25th. Until then...

Maxwell ... Grown Up Music

Maxwell's new album BLACKsummers' night is a problem! From beginning to end, the neo-soul artist proves he hasn't lost a step since his last studio album. In an industry saturated by the unoriginal, Maxwell steps forward to provide some grown-up music! Hope they are asking folks for id when they purchase this album, because this isn't for the ringtone music generation (even though it would provide one hell of an educational lesson).

I personally grabbed the album immediately on Tuesday from iTunes and haven't stopped playing it since. This is the definition of baby making music. I'm not sure what his first week numbers will look like in terms of sales but I'm sure conception rate via his album will be through the roof and a lot of babies will be born nine months from now (all with Maxwell as their middle name). If you don't have it, get it.

The only drawback is that the album is just nine tracks long. I guess Maxwell is a drug dealer and is just giving us a taste. When the next two cds drop, we'll know exactly where to go for a follow up hit. Maxwell definitely sets us up for his follow ups.

Maxwell ... "Bad Habits"

Yep, sit back and relax and turn it up. Enjoy Maxwell's Bad Habits.
