Maxwell-Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite (1996). The Chill Spot That Became Love's Home

Black Podcasting - Maxwell-Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite (1996). The Chill Spot That Became Love's Home

B. Cox and Domo review Maxwell's groundbreaking and culture-shifting debut album Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite. It was an album that signaled a paradigm shift from R&B music of the day that featured a more hip-hop sound back to a traditional feel that combined soul, jazz and funk in a way that changed the game. It was one of trinity of albums (along with D'Angelo's Brown Sugar and Erykah Badu's Baduizm) that made neo soul a critical and commercially successful phenomenon in the mid to late 1990s.
