Maxwell - Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite (1996)

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite is the debut album of American R&B and neo soul musician Maxwell, released April 2, 1996 on Columbia Records in the United States.
Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite had a considerable impact on Maxwell's career, helping elevate his reputation to that of a sex symbol and a serious performer on the music scene. Maxwell has been credited with shaping the "neo soul" movement that rose to prominence during the late 1990s. Along with D'Angelo's Brown Sugar (1995) and Erykah Badu's Baduizm (1997), Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite has been recognized by music writers for providing commercial visibility to neo soul. It has been cited by critics as Maxwell's greatest work and remains as his best-selling release with domestic sales of over two million copies.
