INTERVIEW: Maxwell (Playlisted.com)
The artist did an exclusive interview with ARTISTdirect.com’s editor and Dolor author Rick Florino about what he’s spinning and so much more…
Here is a Taste of the list: Michael Jackson, Fleet Foxes, Feist, Grizzly Bear
Maxwell has had a hell of year.
His latest album, BLACKsummers’Night, proved why he’s one of the most important “soul men” of the 21st century, skyrocketing up the charts and leading to all kinds of crazy acclaim from the press and biz. His voice, style and swagger are undeniable and unmatched in the R&B game right now. He’s just plain cool…
Why is Maxwell so cool? Well, he’s really got his finger on the pulse of what’s happening, and his musical palette knows no bounds.
He laughs, “I’m always listening to a lot of music.”
Maxwell sat down with ARTISTdirect.com editor and Dolor author Rick Florino to discuss what he’s spinning. He shared his playlist with us, check it out below…

Oh my goodness, I can say Michael Jackson is overwhelming me right now. Every and any chance I get to listen to him, I’m listening to him. I look at what he’s done, and I’m blown away.
2. Fleet Foxes
I love Fleet Foxes!
3. Grizzly Bear
I’m checking out Grizzly Bear. They have a really good song that I’m getting into.
