Grammy Award-winning Singer/Songwriter Maxwell celebrates black beauty in the visual to his latest single "Shame".
The video features models and actresses Maria Borgess, Jeneil Williams, Achok Majak, Riley Montana, Sira Kant and Adonis Bosso.
On the video Maxwell adds:
“We wanted to celebrate beauty. Specifically the beauty of Black women. Black women – Black people – don’t see themselves heralded as a standard of beauty nearly enough in the media, especially in entertainment, high fashion and art. It’s getting better, but we still have so far to go. People of color have carried shame about our features, our hair, our bodies, our skin tone. As I said previously, this song is about removing the cloak of shame and opening up to love… including self-love and love of your culture. So we decided to pay homage to another beautiful video, George Michael’s iconic ‘Freedom’ – but make it Black. The end result is gorgeous, powerful and stunning. This video is a love letter to my women of color. Feel no shame in your skin – you are beyond beautiful.”
"Shame" serves as the lead single from Maxwell's upcoming sixth studio LP NIGHT, the completion of a trilogy that began with 2009’s BLACKsummers’Night and continued with 2016’s BlackSUMMERS’night.
Grammy Award-winning Singer/Songwriter Maxwell has released the lead single "Shame" from his upcoming album NIGHT via Sony due early 2019. NIGHT is the final installment of the BLACKSUMMERSNIGHT trilogy which began in 2009 with BLACKsummers'night and continued with 2016's blackSUMMERS'night.
Maxwell is currently on his 50 Intimate Nights Live Tour with fellow artist Marsha Ambrosius.
Sony Music’s
Certified Classics, Legacy Recording’s division for the celebration of Sony
Music’s Hip Hop and R&B catalogue, will re-release Maxwell’s Embryaon September 28th. The
release will include a 2-LP white vinyl package and a new 12-page booklet
featuring unseen photos from the original Embryaphotoshoot shot by
Mario Sorrenti. The audio has
been newly re-mastered by Maxwell and Stuart
Matthewman, who has worked with Maxwell for over 20 years and who mixed
and co-produced the album in 1998. Additionally, it has been resequenced,
moving the original opening track to the end.
Embrya,
which was originally released in 1998, reached #2 on Billboard’s Top
R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and #3 on the Billboard 200 and went Certified
platinum. It also garnered Maxwell a GRAMMY Award nomination for best R&B
album. The album remains an integral chapter in Maxwell’s career canon.
He switched up from the jazzier leanings of Urban Hang Suite to stronger
basslines, lush strings, electronic beats and more pulsating beats and grooves
versus melodies - with Hawaiian guitar riffs and Latin accents thrown in for
good measure. And whereas the retro-souled Suite’s concept revolved around romance,
Embrya takes the musical discussion to the next level: the gestation of love
and spirituality.
