Maxwell is back!



When I heard that Maxwell was performing at the Radio City Music Hall I had to go pick up tickets. What made it even better was that Jazmine Sullivan was opening for him!

The concert performance was last night and I had great seats in the Orchestra. I've heard a few songs off her album, but hearing her sing live was even better. Her voice is rich and strong; beautiful voice indeed. She is another product of a song writer crossing over from behind the scenes and in front of the curtain. She may not have the moves, but her songs were good. She was on for about forty-five minutes and then there was a little wait for Maxwell.

Once he the lights dimmed and strobes were turned to "sensual", the audience appetites were dripping wet, ready to receive the full course meal brought to you by Maxwell. Most people have seen the new look he's sporting, which is "clean cut", professional, grown man, and seasoned. I wasn't too fond of it, but it fits him; just a sign of him changing with the times. He's still got it. Sang most of his classics, and everyone's favorite "This Woman's Work". At one point during the performance he told the crowd, "Now hold on. There's not enough panties on my stage". Right before he could get the last word out someone threw their panties on stage. All he could say was, "You must have a lot of junk in your trunk". Yes, they were some big, grandma panties...lol...He played a few new songs, which were smooth. He was a little nervous about playing them and constantly asked the crowd if they wanted to hear them. Of course people want to hear what they know, what they paid for in their ticket and also in purchasing his previous albums. I am always want to hear new songs, because that let's me know they're going to be releasing something new soon, and that they're still working on their craft. He is from Brooklyn, and already knew how hard fans and supporters can be sometimes. Can't wait for that album to drop, though.
