Earlier today (March 25), Maxwell hopped on social media to announce "The Serenade Tour," which will make several stops in North American cities this fall. He also revealed that not only will Jazmine Sullivan be joining as a supporting act, but so will rising star October London, a singer-songwriter currently signed to Snoop Dogg's Death Row Records imprint.

It's been eight years since the release of Maxwell's fifth studio LP, blackSUMMERS'night, which is meant to be the second installment of a trilogy. That album contained 12 soulful cuts that he produced alongside musicians Hod David and Stuart Matthewman. blackSUMMERS'night was a commercial success that peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Maxwell revealed that once he completes the aforementioned saga, he'll take a different creative approach with its follow-up. “I just have to finish the trilogy part, and then we’re going to move into some stuff that happened before I was even 17,” he explained. "[It will also include] lots of songs from the '90s that never got on the albums. It’s a different time, [and] I’m so grateful."
