    BLACKsummers’night is the sensuous opening installment of the Maxwell’s monumental BLACKSUMMERS’NIGHT trilogy. (The trilogy’s subsequent chapters, blackSUMMERS’night and blacksummers’NIGHT, are slated for release in 2010 and 2011 respectively.) “Pretty Wings,” the first single from BLACKsummers’night, became available through digital service providers on Tuesday, April 28 while a video for the song premiered that same day on BET’s “106 & Park” and on musze.com, Maxwell’s website. BLACKsummers’night reunites Maxwell with long-time collaborator Hod David, who serves as co-producer and co-writer of the album. Striving for an emotional authenticity and real world sound for the album, Maxwell and Hod recorded the entire album live in the studio with an a-list ensemble of elegantly sympathetic musicians. Maxwell first rocketed to fame when he redefined classic soul music for a new generation with the release of his critically-acclaimed debut album, Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite, in April 1996.
