Washington Post pop critic Chris Richards picks his top 10 albums of 2009
Tis the season for obsessive list making and I’m proud to offer my annual contribution to the pile: The Best Albums of 2009.
1. Maxwell, “BLACKsummers’night”
Maxwell’s R&B masterstroke topped charts with a poise that evoked past, present and futures unknown. And while the neo-soulman’s falsetto can bend time, heartbreak remains inescapable.

Couldn’t have put it better myself Mr Richards! And if none of the awards or accolades actually go to Maxwell? We all feel he deserves to win, would it make him undeserving if he didn’t? Moving and soothing thousands of people with his voice, presence, lyrics and music and aided by musicians who seem telepathic they’re that tight. That for me and I believe for Maxwell is an award in itself. Support and love is what he’s getting all the way from snowed under Amsterdam whatever the outcome.
