Recorded in 1994, but released two years later, Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite still sounds as if it was made yesterday. It is a heartfelt, soulful album that praises monogamous love. Released at the height of hip-hop's popularity, it was a novel idea, and one that slowly and surely caught on. Although the name of the genre was coined a couple of years later, the album can be seen as the birth of Neo-Soul. Like his peers - most notably D'Angelo - Maxwell's songwriting can be seen as a direct homage to the work of Stevie Wonder and Curtis Mayfield.
