Man, this has been a long time coming!
First of all, I'm really happy that this thing is actually happening. Maxwell has meant so much to me throughout my adult life. In fact, it's not much of a stretch to say that his music is part of what shaped me into an adult to begin with.
Onto the song. . . It's just master craftsmanship. Listening to his new music has always given me the impression of watching a sculptor at work. You're not really sure where all the movements and little, seemingly insignificant, iterations will fit into the larger whole until the piece is finished. I love that. It's so layered and thoughtful, without sounding overcooked. Just top gear, all the way.
Definitely my most anticipated release of the year.

the arrangements on these songs are wild
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Friday, 3 June 2016 13:47 (ten years ago)
there's so much detail yet it's so coherently woven into a composed surface that it sort of feels like watching sand shift
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Friday, 3 June 2016 13:51 (ten years ago)
also psyched for this record bc i need new records with amazing drumming in my life rn

distracted by the clearly-not-Chris-Dave old dude on drums in the video, so here's some Chris Dave: https://www.instagram.com/p/BFiUAcbPiGf/

chris dave is so good
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Friday, 3 June 2016 19:14 (ten years ago)
i thought i knew what he was doing in that video and it turns out: i didn't
The new song is good; reminiscent of 'Stop the World' from BLACKsummers'night — think I prefer 'Lake by the Ocean' though.
― Austin, Sunday, 5 June 2016 16:54 (ten years ago)
trying to determine what the timpani and choral vocals remind me of. rotary connection? they give it such a haunted feeling
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Sunday, 5 June 2016 17:31 (ten years ago)
Yeah, definitely a semi-spooky Rotary Connection "baroque soul" vibe to this new tune.

this interview makes me very excited to hear the album
possibly more excited than the album will make me
good album cover though
― StillAdvance, Monday, 13 June 2016 14:48 (ten years ago)
though tbh, the first single sounds very much like post-00 maxwell. hes really become kind of a sade artist. he basically does one thing, does it well, but doesnt really shift much anymore, not in the way he did from UHS to embrya. i think his melodies used to be stronger too, which might just be as a result of not working with stuart matthewman anymore.
