Talk:Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite

Chicago Tribune review
Transcription using Google News Advanced News Archive Search. Chicago Tribune (Kot, Greg. 7.A. June 6, 1996) review of Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite (1996):

"Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite (Columbia) (star) (star) (star). The urban soul revival is in full swing with recent records by D'Angelo, Tony Rich and now Maxwell, a 22-year-old throwback to the mellow jazz-inflected funk of the early '70s. Opening with the sound of a needle landing on a scratchy vinyl album to set the appropriate "dusties" vibe, Maxwell charts the course of a seduction over the entire album in a manner clearly descended from the tender eroticism of Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On." While still in thrall to his decades-old inspirations, Maxwell speaks a language that sounds a good deal more authentic than many of today's lusty new-jack swingers or mush-mouthed balladeers."

Rolling Stone review
2004 retrospective review (4/5 stars):

"With his 1996 debut, good-looking soul man Maxwell sought to create a style of seductive, bedroom-ready R&B that could incorporate pop, funk, jazz, and hip-hop, as though he were some kind of postmodern Marvin Gaye. Maxwell's laid-back romanticism has heat at its core and a powerful groove that grounds the music: By varying the push of the beat but retaining the central mellow vibe, Maxwell creates a sound as felicitous on headphones as it is in the bedroom. Song after song explores the long-dormant possibilities of gentlemanly sexuality, from the kindly "Welcome" to the generous hit "Ascencion (Don't Ever Wonder)" to the come-ons of ". . . Til the Cops Come Knockin'.""
