Maxwell - This Woman's Work by lachula

Fitting that in another Grammy nomination for Maxwell, he continues to do him, and do him well. And with that, it takes us back 8 years ago to this soulful classic (as they always are here on Sunday Soulful). Here's Maxwell with "This Women's Work", your Sunday Soulful selection for this week. Maxwell - This Woman's Work by lachula As always, Sunday Soulful is every Sunday evening at The Whole Delivery.

The second video off the critically acclaimed album from "Blacksummernights."

Photo from VHI.com Michael Jackson's death is further highlighting the fact that people still will buy CD's. Now, of course, this is a very different case form the norm, because of people rushing to buy his albums posthumously instead of him being alive at the moment. But people want the raw copies instead of just burning the MP3's and making them into their own CD's. And so, surprisingly and wonderfully as I have highlighted before, for Maxwell too. 316K and No. 1 for him . Whitney is back . Only in this profession can this person turn from this to that , and be respected . But who am I to judge. LL Cool J is returning to NBC . A must read from Shareem Reid on Drake . Really, it is. And if I'm saying that about music journalists and music artists in this day and age, it is a must read . Hell, I'll give an excerpt. "When I was going through the creative process for So Far Gone, I was actually at a pretty dark place in my life," Drake explained. "...

A very pleasant surprise Maxwell's first album in nearly eight years, "BLACKsummers'night," is headed for a big debut next week on the Billboard 200 chart. Industry prognosticators suggest the Columbia set could move anywhere from 275,000 to 325,000 in its first week. The R&B singer's last offering, 2001's "Now," opened at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with a career-high 296,000 copies sold according to Nielsen SoundScan. Maxwell may not be number one because of MJ, but it maybe his biggest opening week release to date. In this day and age where artists, who were big in the 90's, struggle to get sales now, Maxwell, who was never "OMG" big, is defying the trend. He didn't need to get a Facebook page, a Twitter account or fully need social media to get him attention (though I wouldn't be surprised if he does have them and a MySpace page). All he needed was the love he's always had for music for a long while. And that's...

This new song from The Alchemist featuring Twista and Maxwell is without a question, a refreshing change of pace admits most of the rest of the commercial trash that has engulfed hip hop, rap, and music in general. This, even with Twista guess appearance out of nowhere and just two verses, is already one of my favorite songs right now. It's just so positive and real at the same time.
