Check out Maxwell’s new video for his single, Bad Habit. The video stars actress Keri Washington who looks amazing. The video is also very hot and steamy but it lives up to the song title. Let us know what you think.
Out of all the songs on BLACKsummer’snight, this one has intrigued me the most. From the melody, to the title, to the lyrics – it has grown to be my second favorite track (next to “Fist Full of Tears”). The melody is so beautiful and I love the instrumental at the end of this song. After listening to the lyrics over and over, its clear Maxwell is referring to a love interest that he wants back in his life. But how does the lyrics relate to the title of the song, “Playin’ Possum”??? Even if you are not able to break down the meaning, take a listen. This song is a beautiful masterpiece and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.
Playin’ Possum
“Come back from the dead. You left my, my heart here. Say what you will and won’t forget. Express disappointment, speak your regrets. Or baby call out my name, I’ll be where you are
I’ll be very still, step down to my heart. And mend this broken,If only you’d wake up from your constant possum playing. If only you’d wake up…
I’m begging you sugar, have some leniency. Call the president and ask him baby, to pardon me and bring you back to me. And mend this broken, If only you’d quit this nonsense of your possum playing. If only you’d wake up, would you wake up, would you wake up baby…”
As die hard fans of this man. We just want to congratulate Maxwell for entering the Billboard Top 200 at # 1 this week, as well having his “best career sales week” ever. It’s good to see that even after eight years this man has still got it. BLACKsummer’s Night truly delivers and according to Soundscan the album delivered 316,499 copies in its first week. In the digital age where people rarely buy music, Maxwell has set the tone that displays that if you can deliver quality music you will develop a loyal fan base that will support you. We are looking forward to hearing part two of the three part series. Let MMIM know what you think and share your favorite track from this album. We are feeling ” Stop the World” this week.
All I can say is, I wish I was there *sigh*. He stopped by the CBS Early show to perform “Pretty Wings” and a couple of his oldies. Great performance; Its like Maxwell never left the music scene.
