Maxwell dropped his first new single in three years Tuesday, and also announced a 25-city tour.
The sensual track “Off” is the first release from his upcoming blacksummers’NIGHT album, coming out spring of 2022.
“From announcing a new partnership with BMG for my label Musze, to receiving the Legend Award at the upcoming 2021 Soul Train Awards, I couldn’t be more excited to share this new single with loved ones offering a glimpse into NIGHT,” the three-time Grammy winner said in a statement.
blacksummers’NIGHT, which will be Maxwell’s first new album in five years, closes out the trilogy he began with the RIAA-Platinum BLACKsummers’night in 2009, followed by blackSUMMERS’night in 2016.
The “Fortunate” singer will headline the NIGHT tour in 2022 featuring Anthony Hamilton and Joe. They will perform 25 shows, beginning March 2 in Dallas. Cities will include New Orleans, Charlotte, Memphis, Chicago, Detroit, and Oakland, and the tour will wrap up in Miami on May 8.
Pre-sale starts Monday, November 22 on Maxwell’s website. Tickets go on-sale to the public on Monday, November 29.
