A week after announcing a new partnership with record label BMG, the BLACKsummers’night singer released the first single from the upcoming blacksummers’ NIGHT, the final record in its trilogy, which is reportedly set to release in 2022.

Over a heavy, slow instrumental with elements of funk littered throughout, Maxwell serenades his love interest with huge vocals reminiscent of the 1980s. Off is an unapologetic R&B record, and if it’s any sort of preview of what we can expect from Maxwell in 2022, fans should be very excited.
