i've kinda given up hope on there being any big surprise album this December, can't imagine someone doing it on Christmas day or later. it was nice to imagine Kanye or Frank or somebody would keep the nascent tradition going, though.

given that his core audience is the over 40 crowd i don't think it makes much sense for maxwell to just drop the album out of nowhere -- it didn't really do much for d'angelo commercially if you figure their audiences roughly overlap. d'angelo's people did it that way so the album would finally just exist in the world and i suppose you could apply the same logic to maxwell but i feel like the label can probably get it out of him in a relatively standard fashion.

i guess it was 5 years ago at this point but "pretty wings" and "bad habits" were pretty big hits, if i were them i'd just fire a single off and see if they can roll it out the normal way

can't tell whether this is supreme rihanna shade or actually forgetting her; checking her fan fora over the past week has been extremely entertaining
