Single review: Maxwell 'Pretty Wings'

Maxwell, drops his first single from his fourth studio album, tentatively titled "Black" in stores July 7th, is apart of a three album trilogy that will be completed in three years. The current trend has been when an artist takes a hiatus they have to come back stronger than ever or they're bound to be embarrassed by the results. However, "Pretty Wings" may just be strong enough to get Maxwell back into the spotlight again. The song starts off strong but drags towards the end, as Maxwell over stays his welcome. The songs stated by Maxwell himself “It’s about the last relationship I had,” “How you meet the person of your dreams but at the wrong time. She was a serious muse and the song is a testament to what I wanted to say and say, to her.” Is this song hot enough to get Maxwell back into the spotlight?

Rating: 4/5
