简介:
With a digital reissue and upcoming performance on the NAACP Image Awards, the Grammy winner reflects on the debut album that catapulted his career and the new partnership between his Musze label and BMG.
“I was just writing songs. However, I knew in the back of my mind that I wanted to sequence them in a particular way so you could put the record on and just let it play."

That’s how Maxwell describes the humble beginnings of the debut album that ultimately fostered his career breakthrough. Released April 2, 1996, Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year by way of two special events. This weekend (March 27), Maxwell will mark the occasion with a performance at the 52nd NAACP Image Awards on BET. He won the Image Award for outstanding male artist in 2010 and 2017. Then on April 2, Sony Music Entertainment’s catalog division Legacy Recordings will release a remastered digital edition of the seminal album.

A foundational building block of the '90s neo-soul sound alongside debuts by D’Angelo (1995’s Brown Sugar) and Erykah Badu (1997’s Baduizm), Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite conceptually explores adult romance, love, commitment and spirituality by cycling from first date to marriage proposal.

Signed in 1994 by senior vp of A&R and Columbia Records Mitchell Cohen, Maxwell wrote and produced on all 11 tracks, collaborating with his now longtime colleagues Hod David and Stuart Matthewman as well as Peter Mokran, Itaal Shur, Leon Ware (Marvin Gaye’s I Want You) and Melvin “Wah Wah Watson” Ragin, a member of Motown studio band The Funk Brothers.

The album’s savory fusion of jazz, funk, R&B and Quiet Storm balladry, coupled with Maxwell’s suave tenor and hynoptizing falsetto, spun off four popular singles-concert faves: “Til the Cops Come Knockin’,” RIAA platinum-certified “Ascension (Don’t Ever Wonder),” gold-certified “Sumthin Sumthin” and “Suitelady (The Proposal Jam).” After spending 78 weeks on the Billboard 200, Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite has since achieved RIAA double-platinum status.

“You blink and then bam, here it is 25 years later,” Maxwell tells Billboard. “I’m not only happy about the anniversary but also for silent allies like [then-label] radio promotion executive Cynthia Johnson when this music wasn’t what was being played. And for all the collaborators and musicians...this celebration is for them more than myself.”
