That’s crazy that he threw away the album twice, but it confirms how much of a perfectionist he is. I would love to hear some of the songs that didn’t make the final cut though!
All his music are classics, you can play em all on repeat if u ask me, they should all have a Grammy tag on them! But you cant rush prefection with an artist like Maxwell. Low key should be named "The musical genius "
@@jazzybelle7923 wow. This is a strong accusation to make about somebody, to say they do hard drugs. Where are you getting that information from? Just going by "hearsay" huh? Be careful about putting rumors out there about people that you aren't 100% sure of. Did you see him doing drugs??? Well then...
Both also worked with the incomparable Stuart Matthewman who's a part of Sade's band & also a member of Sweetback. A duet with Maxwell n Sade would truly be a dream...
That man needs to come back with a new classic soul album ASAP. We need new CDs from D’Angelo, Angie Stone, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott and Dave Hollister.
I can't believe he hasn't met "her". Saw him at a concert. I was really close to the stage. He has a beautiful spirit! I could feel it coming from him. I hope he finds someone just as beautiful as him.
@passionsrundeeply Thank you for sharing your experience of Maxwell in concert! Wow, I liked your vivid description of how you experienced his presence.
Maxwell has been GOAT for me since Urban Hang Suite. Glad he stuck with the formula and hasn't sold out to pop culture. His kinda music is rare today, necessary and very appreciated.
Maxwell actually reminds me of Prince in his perfectionism and needing to be quiet to the world of celebrities. I admire that about him bc he needs it to stay grounded. It's not about the money but the love he has for his music and for THAT, I'm an admirer
@@MzV2C i don't know if I would say that. They all have such different tones vocally. Artistically he's more marvin than prince, but their falsettos are so different.
His song on the "Love Jones" soundtrack called Sumthin Sumthin (Mellow Smooth) is the most sensual song EVER. It's up there with Prince's song Insatiable.
@@Reality_TV Sumthing Sumthin mellow smooth is what the title say SMOOTH. Til the Cops Come Knocking? THAT song is a lyrical and musical genius in one. I agree with you.
I was off from work for my 30th birthday in April 1996 and I was cleaning my apartment. While the vacuum was going, I had BET Video Soul showing on the TV but on mute. I noticed a video starting and the caption read MAXWELL...TIL THE COPS COME KNOCKIN. Not knowing who or what this was, I immediately thought it was a rap song. I turned the volume up and once I heard that groove and that voice, I sat down for a closer look and listen. By the time the video was done, I had keys in my hands, got in my car and drove to the music store. I found the CD for $7.99. Took it home and I've been playing it ever since. I was in that same store about 6 months later and the price of the CD was now $15.99 (after the release of Don't Ever Wonder - LOL). I'm a huge fan and I've bought every album after that without hesitation. MAXWELL is THE MODERN DAY MARVIN GAYE!
That's my jam!!! I saw him in concert at Fox Theater in Atlanta in 1996 or 97 and DYAUM!!!! That show was tight...on point...classy...Best concert I've EVER seen! ...outside of Sade...I'd give up my paycheck to see her again!
That is so true. That man made me cry hahaha. 7 years ago, I went his concert and that was the only artist I wanted to see perform live. I woke up the next day literally smiling...with a hangover. That was the best hangover 😂Prior to that I was done going to concerts. But wow! That was by far one of the best concerts I went to. And Amel Larrieux
I still remember the first time I came across Maxwell This woman's work unplugged version. When I heard the applause at the end, I was left speechless. I couldn't believe this was live. The voice was so perfect and the music oh my god. Possum playing is my favorite. He is indeed a legend
No matter how many years past ☺️ when you play a Maxwell song, anyone 🙌🏾 everyone I mean everyone in the room moves and feels Maxwell craft. He’s so so talented and gifted Did I also say how Fine this man is Damm he’s Fine. One ☝🏽 Love ❤️
I like the way he stayed authentic and stayed true to himself through out the years Unlike most celebrities he doesn’t need to fake and chase paparazzi for fame It comes to him naturally
It’s so weird how you uploaded this today and yesterday I decided to look up him on Google. Sad his dad died so unexpectedly young, and that his mother seemed to have PTSD from that trauma. She was only 19 when she became a single mother 😢. I was bumping to all of Maxwell’s albums lately. He has an ASMR effect on his listeners with his distinct sound. It just puts you in a mood.
I love him just the way he is. He's different, unique, solo. It's refreshing and mysterious at the same time. Love you Maxwell. Continue to do you Bruh.
Maxwell has always been a music industry enigma. I appreciate an artist that keeps their life private. And when they bring forward a new project it’s exciting.
I absolutely love Maxwell. He’s one of my all-time favs. I appreciate the fact that he takes his time in between albums. Artists are faced with way too much pressure to put out music every couple of years. This video is so thorough ❤️
Maxwell is the TRUTH! I think I must have had Urban Hang Suite CD on repeat for months. It was one of the soundtracks of my life at that time. Saw him live at Radio City Music Hall around 1999 /2000, and he was fine and the show was magical. He can take all the time he wants to out out music, I will always be a fan!
'Embrya' was Maxwell's most underrated album!!! That album proper put me on Maxwell. At that time, 'NOW' was my least favorite but it grew on me. Embrya is still my favorite to date. I thought it was so brilliant. When I read how poorly it was received in the 🇺🇸 I was shook😱 but hey man, that album was ahead of its time. The last album he made was rather disappointing for me. I'll listen to it again in a few years...it might hit differently haha. Looking forward to the next album...has 7years passed already since his last release 🤔?!
Embrya is my favorite album of his and one of my all time fave albums in general. I can play the whole thing thru. It was def ahead of it’s time and critics look back now and recognize it for the amazing piece of work that it was I just don’t think at the time they’d heard anything like it.
WOW! I loved his bio as well. I love and appreciate Maxwell as a true to himself man and artist. The system doesn't control, nor dictate to him the time he takes to perfect his God given talent. AUTHENTIC AND GENUINE. I pray God's continued favor over him. I adore him ❤💋
Maxwell reminds me of me. He was raised by an older mother who kept him isolated from the world so he learned so young how to be alone and entertain himself alone. I was the same way. Creature of habit and that habit is being a true introvert. I didn’t understand what that TRULY meant until I got older.
as a long time fan and musician myself, i can totally appreciate and understand the professionalism Maxwell puts in his career and can relate! He went to high school with my older sister in Manhattan and she expressed that Maxwell was always silent in the back of the classroom, very intelligent but just as explained about his upbringing, kept him isolated to a degree. but she said he still always had a laid back observing personality. ty Maxwell for the countless hits that i can enjoy on my playlist!
Love love love Maxwell’s artistry! I wish artists knew they could have love and art simultaneously. Just gotta let the right person find you and hold onto them 💕 can’t wait for more music to drop!
I will always love Maxwell no Matter how long it takes him to make great music. My favorite song by him is submerge followed by many more. And I feel like I can sing them along side him. My favorite period, point blank and I would love to be able to attend one of his concerts in Atlanta, Georgia.
His music makes him who he is and his inspiration is Mavin Gaye. Time is essence and if that's what it takes for him to give his fan his best music, so be it. Good to have him back 🥰
Love me some Maxwell, and not just because his is so sexy. He is truly talented artist But I'm glad he took time for himself rather than be a slave to the music industry.
Denise West He wasn’t playing the game like they wanted so they ‘Faded him out’ for awhile. It wasn’t voluntarily done. He’s damn lucky his music is just THAT good that people would actually wait on him for YEARS! But He’s a slave regardless, They ALL ARE. There’s no way around that.
So beautifully done. I am a true Gerard fan. I learned so much more about him I never knew. Thank you so much for the love you shared about my favorite singer of all time. Love you Maxwell. ❤
I love him.....I love the fact that he realizes that real music lovers knows that music is timeless, we NEED that emotion behind the sounds. You know that song that hits you NOMATTER WHAT? Yeah I appreciate that musical genius, we need that, and understand. Yasssss his shit hits your soul even if you aren’t familiar with it, you cannot deny good shit periodt.!!❤️
Maxwell is my favorite Male artist, I love his music it's sooooo different in a good way,& Sade is my favorite female artist, to me they're both similar with creating beautiful songs that would never be forgotten. I truly appreciate their music,❤❤❤❤❤
My sis worked at a small organic supermarket in nyc and he would shop there often. He was so sweet to my sister and the other people that worked there. He would come often so he’d ask how she was doing and stuff. No one seemed to reconize him which I assume he was happy about. ❤
@Joshua McDowell is so right. I find Maxwell and Sade as TRUE artists . . . releasing albums after living life for a bit and sharing those experiences with fans. For them, it’s not about money or fame. It’s all about the music! 🥰
I have been a fan of Maxwell's since I have been 13 & his music helps me through my life & marriage! I'm such a fan that I had Maxwell's "This Woman's Work" & "W/As My Girl" in my wedding playlist!💯🎯🖤
I can only imagine what awesome un-'released neo soul classics he has hidden in his music vault what he may consider incomplete or imperfect would probably be a masterpiece to our ears hopefully one day well hear them all
That brother makes some smooth music. His songs on soundtracks are bangers. Much respect to Maxwell. For those with the ears to hear, that brother is from the tribe of Ephraim. Shalom.
I remember my dad bumping his music when I was a little girl..I never paid attention to him or his music, because his music was for grown folks. Fast forward to a decade later, I was working with my earbuds in listening to Pandora when I heard til the cops come knocking. I had to stop work to listen to it! I then watched the video and fell hard for this guy and his music. Besides MJ, he's my favorite male artist.
If u are a real fan, u remember ALL those years after the Now album. It was like an empty stomach. We were HUNGRY for years!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats how good he was and still is. But that time, in that time, it was something more special. The music, the vibe of that era, late 90s to early 00s, the sexy and coolness of neo soul gave us a new experience, not just music. It was the LOVE JONES era. Wish that things could be that again
I enjoyed this video so much I had to log in and comment. Thanks so much for making this! I listen to Maxwell, but I didn't know anything about him. I gained a new level of respect for him after watching this. I admire the level of passion he has for his craft. His music is beautiful and he's awesome in concert, a charming and dynamic performer. Wow, I'm surprised about his childhood. Thanks again.
Yep, when I worked on the Black Summers Night Album, he had it completed 2 times and practically threw 90% of it away and started over ,,,, but when I first heard a snippet of Pretty Wings, I knew it was the one...2Grammys later, can’t be too mad at him but I’m sure the past accolades made him feel like he has to always at least put out something just as good as the previous music
That’s crazy that he threw away the album twice, but it confirms how much of a perfectionist he is. I would love to hear some of the songs that didn’t make the final cut though!
Dang. Ya spilling some good T😁✌👍
Now that's a perfectionist👏🏾
All his music are classics, you can play em all on repeat if u ask me, they should all have a Grammy tag on them! But you cant rush prefection with an artist like Maxwell. Low key should be named "The musical genius "
@@rrg I would love to too
Neo Soul era is one of my favorite era’s of music!
FYI. We don't call it neo soul... its just soul music the neo was put on by white folks but there's nothing new about soul music.
Me too 😃! Very best era of musique
Lol! 😅I still call it Neo Soul. They did a good job. It stuck with me back in the nineties.
Same here it's my favorite music genre!!!!! They neosoul era of the 1990s and 2000s was everything!!
Me too
I always loved maxwell his music is soothing to me.
It really is 💕 thanks for watching!
J. Symone Sade too.
Jasmine B ooh yes that’s my girl.
Very beautiful 🦋✨
Absolutely
It takes him a while to drop a cd because he takes his artistry serious. He’s not just going to put out some bs to get a few dollars.
@@jazzybelle7923 wow. This is a strong accusation to make about somebody, to say they do hard drugs. Where are you getting that information from? Just going by "hearsay" huh? Be careful about putting rumors out there about people that you aren't 100% sure of. Did you see him doing drugs??? Well then...
Toronda Hall yup !
He probley don't blow his money as soon as he get too.
I had him and Sade on repeat while cooking
Facts
It's because hes actually talented unlike other artists
🤣🤣🤣
Facts
AMEN!!
@Jake McCoy is right but I am going to add this hes old school hes not apart of the new era that based their music on sex all the time.
Lol..I've seen him live he's alright. Don't toot your horn
Maxwell is like the male Sade. He release albums once every few years.
Joshua McDowell right...luv Sade
Both on Sony. Wonder what a Sade/Maxwell album would be like. Great but won't be done until like 2030.
Both also worked with the incomparable Stuart Matthewman who's a part of Sade's band & also a member of Sweetback. A duet with Maxwell n Sade would truly be a dream...
Never knew that. Love both but the time they take between albums........
@@initaammons4447 Luv both as well n yes, the time in between albums is far too long. 5yrs maybe but 10? Now that's a stretch.
Such a gorgeous, talented man.
You go Maxwell
Yahminah Ain yes he is 😍
Truly.
Yes he is!!!!
Yes
That man needs to come back with a new classic soul album ASAP. We need new CDs from D’Angelo, Angie Stone, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott and Dave Hollister.
Angie Stone has a new album out now
Lorietha Causey what’s the name of her album?
@@claytonallen5428 it's called Full Circle

Thank you all
Maxwell is a living unicorn! Every time he records something magical happens!😍🎼🎵🎶
Something magical has to happen so he can make another album.
Omg his smile is everything
His face structure is perfect. Like it's sculpted.....
yesss those pearly whites get me!
I can't believe he hasn't met "her". Saw him at a concert. I was really close to the stage. He has a beautiful spirit! I could feel it coming from him.
I hope he finds someone just as beautiful as him.
@passionsrundeeply Thank you for sharing your experience of Maxwell in concert! Wow, I liked your vivid description of how you experienced his presence.
How do you NOT love Maxwell? Talented, creative, and deeply intellectual. He's my favorite male artist and performer. Good dude through and through...
TOO DEEP!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
At least he is honest. Music will always be his first love. Stay close to God, for your musical gift comes from God.
The live version of “This Woman’s Work” is still one of my favorites.
Mines As Well.
Yessss...
The live version of Whenever, Wherever, Whatever ... ❣
You should really thank Kate Bush for that...
Yes...

This man is exceptional because he does not follow the crowd and copy what they are doing. He stays true to himself
Thank God for the friend that lent him the keyboard. Maxwell was destined to become a phenomenal musician !! 😍
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I’ve traveled to different states just to see Maxwell in concert. He’s still my favorite artist to date.
If you don't mind. What's the best way to find out about artists' tour dates instead of relying on radio announcements, erc.?
It's on his Instagram.
Cant rush greatness
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
indeed!

It comes to him naturally

A sweet melody for sure❤️
You'd be surprised
He breaks out in falsetto when he climaxes
Im sure the men hes shared space with would attest to that
Definition of a human gemstone 🙌🏽

Urban Hang Suite is one of his best albums to me and I was only 12 when it was released. I’ve been in love with him ever since!!❤️❤️
“If this record doesn’t fly, that’s cool because It’s my story that I’m expressing & it will always be right for me.”

I love that album..still on my playlist.
Will always be the King of R&B. My Brooklyn vibe has always come from his music.
My mom is such a huge fan of his music. Loved listening to his music on long rides to visit New York.
Maxwell is my favorite Male artist, I love his music it's sooooo different in a good way,& Sade is my favorite female artist, to me they're both similar with creating beautiful songs that would never be forgotten. I truly appreciate their music,❤❤❤❤❤
I love Maxwell's crooning and healing music.
Pretty Wings is such a beautiful song. 😍😍😍
The sexiest breakup song ever 😩😂
I love Maxwell's songs I still listen to his music now ♥️♥️♥️ classics
Maxwell's smile just lights up the room.💜💞😄Brilliant artist.He just does his own thing...love it!♊

My sis worked at a small organic supermarket in nyc and he would shop there often. He was so sweet to my sister and the other people that worked there. He would come often so he’d ask how she was doing and stuff. No one seemed to reconize him which I assume he was happy about. ❤
He's married to his music 😍 and it's nothing wrong with that
I loveeeeee him and he can take all the time he needs to keep writing that beautiful music. I just want to see him in concert 1 good time 😩
@Joshua McDowell is so right. I find Maxwell and Sade as TRUE artists . . . releasing albums after living life for a bit and sharing those experiences with fans. For them, it’s not about money or fame. It’s all about the music! 🥰
Have been a day 1 fan for the last 24 years. When he creates new music always the first in line.
I can't stop smiling!!! I love this man even more now after this brilliant expose. ❤❤❤
I have been a fan of Maxwell's since I have been 13 & his music helps me through my life & marriage! I'm such a fan that I had Maxwell's "This Woman's Work" & "W/As My Girl" in my wedding playlist!💯🎯🖤
I can only imagine what awesome un-'released neo soul classics he has hidden in his music vault what he may consider incomplete or imperfect would probably be a masterpiece to our ears hopefully one day well hear them all
That brother makes some smooth music. His songs on soundtracks are bangers. Much respect to Maxwell. For those with the ears to hear, that brother is from the tribe of Ephraim. Shalom.
I remember my dad bumping his music when I was a little girl..I never paid attention to him or his music, because his music was for grown folks. Fast forward to a decade later, I was working with my earbuds in listening to Pandora when I heard til the cops come knocking. I had to stop work to listen to it! I then watched the video and fell hard for this guy and his music. Besides MJ, he's my favorite male artist.
One of the GREATEST VOCALLY of the late 90's, early 00, and STILL groovin. ...
If u are a real fan, u remember ALL those years after the Now album. It was like an empty stomach.
We were HUNGRY for years!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats how good he was and still is. But that time, in that time, it was something more special. The music, the vibe of that era, late 90s to early 00s, the sexy and coolness of neo soul gave us a new experience, not just music. It was the LOVE JONES era.
Wish that things could be that again
I love him, D'Angelo & Jaheim so much. Art of the Artist..mad love
I enjoyed this video so much I had to log in and comment. Thanks so much for making this! I listen to Maxwell, but I didn't know anything about him. I gained a new level of respect for him after watching this. I admire the level of passion he has for his craft. His music is beautiful and he's awesome in concert, a charming and dynamic performer. Wow, I'm surprised about his childhood. Thanks again.
Thanks so much for watching. We’re glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
