But at the end of the day, I want to surprise people a little bit.
So hopefully there will be some element of surprise.
The Grammy-winning artist whose last album debuted at No.
1 on the Billboard charts says he took as much painstaking effort for the other cuts on the album.
Its so different, he says.
Its not just beats or something.
And the slow jams have a harder edge.
he says with a laugh, adding that hes pals with DNCE frontman Joe Jonas.
This song has been years in the making.
I had no idea!
When it comes to the rest of the songs on the upcoming album, expect plenty more baby-making jams.
Its a musical skill at which Maxwell has mastered and one hes comfortable with.
Its so cool though to be around to do something that affects lives in certain ways, he says.
