Neo-soul great (and recent Grammy winner) Maxwell has released a video for “Gods” off last year’s blackSUMMERS’night. It’s a TIDAL exclusive, but non-TIDAL-subscribers can see a 30 second clip. Watch below.

Maxwell has also announced a tour, which includes three NY/NJ shows. He plays Atlantic City on May 28 at the Borgata, Newark’s Prudential Center on June 8, and Nassau’s New Coliseum on June 10. All three of those shows are with Ledisi, and the AC show also has Leela James. Tickets go on sale Friday (3/31) at 10 AM with various presales starting beforehand. All dates are listed below.

Former Maxwell tourmate Jill Scott announced a tour today too. Maxwell and Jill Scott are both on our recent list of 30 essential psychedelic soul songs.
