Comment:

Not just an exponent, but an architect of neo-soul in the '90s, Maxwell made his name in R&B on the back of an album that initially worried record label executives — it was, they thought, too square in its espousal of monogamy, not in tune with the hip-hop-soul times. But when [i]Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite[/i] finally appeared in '96 all fears were allayed, as it went platinum and picked up a GRAMMY® nomination. Standout tracks like "Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder)" marked out the New Yorker (of Puerto Rican/Caribbean heritage) as a sophisticated modern throwback to the classic soul of Marvin Gaye and Al Green, but his reputation as an innovator really kicked off with the [i]MTV Unplugged[/i] release (1997) on which he covered Kate Bush ("This Woman's Work") and Nine Inch Nails ("Closer"). This overview of the Maxwell magic includes his R&B chart-topper, the R. Kelly-penned "Fortunate."
