In 1996, the genre transformed its sound with more electronic and pop elements, ultimately spawning some of the biggest hits of that decade, but Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite keeps its admirable funkiness in tune – it starts as soon as its opener, ‘The Urban Theme’ takes its first breath over your speakers. The crooner’s debut album, Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite, resurrects the full band grooviness from late 70s/80s R&B artists, like Prince, Marvin Gaye, and Michael Jackson, in a time where it was sorely missed.
When Maxwell started to rise as a young pioneer in the R&B/neo-soul genre, critics called him “the new Prince” and for good reason.
