With the success of their sultry song, "Fire We Make," Maxwell has confirmed a duet project is in the works with his collaborator Alicia Keys.
"We're definitely working on an EP that's sort of Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell," Maxwell tells Billboard. In case you didn't know, Tammi Terrell is best known for her string of duets with Marvin Gaye for Motown in the 1960s.
"We got a thing musically," explains Maxwell. "That's like my little sister. What's funny is Swizz [Beatz] is the champion of all of it… She's someone that I trust. I'm like that, by the way. Most of the people you see working for me are actually with me. And I'm proud to say that I've known them 20 years almost."
"I don’t deviate form my comfort zone. I feel like when God brings people to you it’s good to keep ‘em around," he says.
While the pair are only in the beginning stages of the joint project, Maxwell is putting the finishing touches on the follow-up to 2009's BLACKsummers'night album. Fans can expect the upcoming project, titled Summers, to be released at the end of the summer.
