BLACKsummers’night Ranked as Top 10 Album of 2009 (Associated Press)

The Associated Press ranked the top 10 albums of 2009 and BLACKsummers’night made the list.

7. BLACKsummers’night,” Maxwell: Maxwell’s comeback album was so eagerly awaited that a letdown seemed inevitable. After all, eight years of anticipation is hard for anyone to live up to. But with “BLACKsummers’night” – a compact, cohesive gem of an album – we were reminded of how much we missed Maxwell’s sensuous songs and plaintive croon. Maxwell’s music also provided R&B with what it sorely lacked: a grown and sexy man who offers layered songs about relationships instead of sex, sex and more sex (are you listening, R. Kelly?).

Surprised at only 7, a couple of those that came in b4 BSN, I think are questionable.
On a side nore #8 Playing for Change is a brilliant experiment of an album.
