The man is back! This time without the curly fro; but with the snippet of his new song “Pretty Wings,” it seems as though Maxwell has still got it. In late ‘07 he is slated to drop the first installment of his Black Summer Nights trilogy, where he will release albums in ‘07, ‘08 and ‘09. Though Hip Hop being dead is arguable, we know that good R & B has hope with Maxwell in the coming years. Listen to the snippet below.

In July, Elevated Live brought you two of the Elevated Family’s own Ankore & Elle B with the “Freedom Starts with Me” show. And as summer winds down it is only fitting that we bless you with another installment of the Elevated Live series. Teedra Moses will be celebrating the release of her much anticipated sophomore album “The Young Lioness,” with concert @ The Roxy on Sunset. Her debut album Complex Simplicity was slept on initially but has waken in music listeners, leaving them wanting more. Join us for a night of entertainment by Ms. Moses and some very special guest.

He’s got a new album (”Because of You”) and a new sound (think: R&B meets 80s pop/rock), but he’s still the same Ne-Yo we went “So Sick”-mad for when he popped up seemingly out of the blue in 2006.

Catch him at Sunset’s House of Blues tomorrow, June 12.
