Additional Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite Information
|
|
Handsome in his designer clothes and angelic, nappy dreads, Maxwell styles himself a modern-day urban love prophet in the tradition of Marvin Gaye. He concocts a conceptual music suite that purports to tell a fully rounded tale of meaningful love set in the tough but misunderstood inner city. What he delivers, however, contains only the faintest hints of what he promises. Instead we get a whole lot of the same tired R&B elevator slush and lyrics like "Gonna take you in the room suga'/ Lock you up and love for days." Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite is significant only in that it recasts the same old same old as something monumental, and nearly pulls it off. Initially, there's a lot to like about Maxwell: On his openers, "Urban Theme" and "Welcome," the early '80s full-band R&B and jazz pop grooves are reminiscent of Maze's brightest days and Steely Dan's coolest nights. But soon even Maxwell's passionate voice gets lost in a flat mix that turns every song into faceless background music. While R&B is at no loss for suave and sexy personalities to take the stage, a dearth of new ideas keeps the genre for the most part floundering and visionless. In the end, Maxwell's urban hang suite is just another empty room. --Roni Sarig

What a voice. some songs better than others but all in all a pretty good cd.
WARNING: Listening to this album with someone that you even have remote feelings for may cause you to: 1). Propose marriage4). Have one of the most intense love-making sessions of your life2). Fall deeply in love with that person3). Create a child or two(All of these actions may not happen in the numbered order).Like so many other reviewers have mentioned, this album is timeless and so good that I had to create a disclaimer for those who have yet to listen and feel this album. With that said, ENJOY.
This CD is super relax and very sexy if you want share this music with your loved one, buy it is an excellent production
Hey, I just found my CD by Maxwell and have not heard/played it in years.and all I can say is, "WOW". It is still good. and my favorite is still "Til the Cops Come Knocking".WOW.
It will sound good 20 years from now or longer just as Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" is timeless and eternal. This is a perfect storm of lyrics, arrangements, musicianship and vocal performance. No bombast here, just a lush tropical floating on a deep and soulful river of sound and pulsation, wild birds from verdant branches & blossoms, above the flowing waters, riffin' hot songs for your surrender.
