Maxwell is coming back. The R&B maestro has announced the final installment of his album trilogy, titled blacksummers’NIGHT.
The singer’s last album blackSUMMERS’night was released in 2016 and served as a sequel to the first in the trilogy called BLACKsummers’night, which released in 2009. He had mentioned back then that the trilogy was “loosely based on the concept of a night out for a woman named Black Summers.”
Since then, fans have been waiting for Maxwell to unveil the final installment. On Monday, he surprised fans by teasing a snippet of a new song, supposedly called ‘Off’ on his social media. The third part of the series will be called blacksummers’NIGHT.
