MAXWELL

In April 1996, Maxwell began redefining classic soul music for a new generation with the release of his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite’. Fueled in part of the US Gold single ‘Ascension (Don’t Ever Wonder)’, the Grammy nominated ‘Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite’ was certified Platinum in the US, less than a year after its release and achieved Double Platinum status, in recognition of sales of more than 2 million copies in the US alone, in 2002. ‘Black Summers Night' is his highy-anticipated new album that is challenging, mature, sensual, courageous amd emotionally open and a collection well worth the wait. Composed of nine indelible songs, the album finds Maxwell exploring life with a bold and purposeful sensuality unmistakably his own. Also a constant throughout is its live and often raw sound. The entire album was recorded with an extraordinary live ten-piece band. He is taking it back to when a solo genius artist offered music that was close to perfection. No synthesizers, no duets. Just Maxwell bare and in the flesh ready to give old fans and new ones a sensory experience that he never fails to bring.
