Maxwell has released him most recent CD entitled Maxwells Urban Hang Suite.

Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

Pop music fans will recognize some of the well known contributors on the project including Mike Pela and Ed Tuton plus a few other notables as well.

If you’re a Maxwell fan this is a CD your collection flat cannot be without. In fact, this is one of those CDs that you don’t even have to be a fan of Maxwell, or even Pop to know is good. It’s just good music. Period.

While the entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 6 – Til The Cops Come Knockin’, track 8 – Lonely’s The Only Company, and track 11 – Suitelady.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – The Urban Theme. Good stuff!
