ARTICLE: Maxwell’s Twitter Love (Soulsummer.com)
Sun Singleton over at Soulsummer.com took the time to write a wonderful article about Maxwell and his twitter habits. His steadfast humanitarianism and love for other artist’s music (Marsha Ambrosius, Tweet, Georgia Anne Muldrow, and Robert Glasper) was highlighted. If you have the time, check out the article it really shows how words (Maxwell’s words) have power.
Twitter is all the rage and superstars like Maxwell are making use of the creative social-networking platform to shine light on fellow visionaries making music beneath the mainstream radar.
Grammy-winning soul singer Maxwell’s much-ballyhooed return to music was 2009′s version of Sade’s divine comeback this year, it was like “okay, mainstream soul actually can still offer listeners subtlety, virtuosity and glamour.”
In truth, Maxwell and Sade returning to soul music within a year of each other felt like soul music lovers were finally being treated to some authentic soul food after a daily Dollar-Meal diet of auto tune offerings from a trendy plethora of rappers singing and singers rapping on the radio. It was a relief to rediscover that magic could still be channeled into this music. Two credible soul icons of the nineties re-emerged after their decade-long sabbaticals, and soul music lovers everywhere were thrilled to welcome them back to their bedroom playlists. I must admit that I regularly check out Maxwell’s Twitter page, and when I do it’s a total fan-girl thing for me. Read the rest at SoulSummer.com

Maxwell is very gracious to encourage philanthropy and to offer his support to various artists and musicians through twitter. Blessings are enhanced, when guided with a purpose. Thankfully, Maxwell has this unique understanding.
