A Soulful Noise, Soul Fashioned

Maxwell Falls Into The Gap

Double kisses to SoulBounce reader, Mai, who alerted us to the ever-elusive Maxwell in the new Spring 2008 collection ad campaign for Gap. Wait one afro-pickin' minute. Maxwell? In a Gap ad? He's always struck me as a Banana Republic kinda cat, but you mean to tell me that this dude has the time to play model and do photo shoots and what not but we can't get more than a teasing song snippet? Sorry, but I'm having some trouble wrapping my mind around this one. I just hope he wore this getup straight to the studio. It's half past time for "Pretty Wings" to fly.

I've seen the poster and he really looks fab. Don't really dig the style of glasses on him, but he's still awsome. I've missed Maxwell, and look foward to his new CD. I still listen to "When the Cops Come Knocking, This Women's Work, Til We Become the Sun, and all others. Does any know if he really is married? If so, someone was bound to catch his heart.

That's a good catch, BellaWendy. I totally missed the ring. It seems a little wide to be a wedding band, but anything is possible with Maxwell. He coulda pulled a Janet and got married on the DL.

***WAIT A COTTON PICKING MINUTE...***

Did anyone notice the ring on his left finger in the full image close up?

WHAT THE HELL???? ;(

I walked into the Gap around 6pm on a Thursday evening... Just looking for some cheap pants to wear to work the next day so my lazy a** wouldn't have to wash... and as I walked around the store for 20 minutes, I finally made my way to the saleswoman to ask for a fitting room, I looked up there HE was.. I had an AHHHH moment. The gates parted and there was nothing but bright white light shining down on this amazing man in this amazing photo. I asked the salesperson if I could buy the picture and she said she'd call me in a week after they take it down. SHO NUFF.. one... week... later. Maxwell shares a little space on the wall in my closet. I cannot wait for his album to friggin drop.. Eventhough they keep pushing it back I still have the mellow sounds of Softly, Softly. Gravity, Submerge, For Lovers Only, The Suite Theme, Fortunate and and This Womens Worth to get me thru my days and LONLEY nights.

Waiting patiently..

Hope you all feel the same...
Ciao

@ Nurse Deb: LMAO @ you telling us to give it a rest on joints we wrote 2 weeks ago! You should see what we've written since! Also, our posts are dated and time-stamped just to avoid any confusion.

Keep bouncin'! :-)

GEEZ people! Give it a rest! He's doing the best he can...dang he's under constraints from the record company, agents, etc. Read his blogs on my space...he's not doing any of this shyt on purpose. Give him love and support he needs that more than people harpin on him...Rome wasnt built in a day and the BEST of MAX is yet to come...keep the faith.

I've been in a location with out internet access all weekend!! Saturday afternoon while heading out of town I realized - this advertisement is probably part of the reason why the album hasn't dropped. Does anybody not remember him saying the record company had some things in mind? Things they wanted to do while he just wanted to let the whole album out for free?

Just something to think about.

camille: that's exactly it...he may be waiting out his contract...label politics are so crazy...i'm sure it'll be fine, like him, whenever it drops

i'm so nervous. i keep hearing numerous rumors about some not so good behavior from him. him & van hunt never get any love. c'mon max bless my speakers already....

He finished his follow-up ages ago. The label just doesnt want to put him out.

He's on his way, this Gap ad was a sign

Wow. I was pretty sure the next time we had a Maxwell post on this site it would be to announce his album is NEVER coming out.

This is SO CLOSE.

@ least he's out and about...waiting on the new album too...it's gonna be good, since he's taking his time...steady and slow always wins the race:)

Miss Butta...I'm with you on this one. It's not to say that I'm mad at him for being on his grind and making money but it's not fair we get a sorry ass snippet!! Maxwell you better be putting more work in..lol..still love you!!

Please, Please, drop the album already!
