Band and Rose Royce, Maxwell began to teach himself to play a variety of instruments.

In commenting on the “new soul revival” in music, Maxwell told Entertainment Weekly in 1997 that “everything out there musically was inspired or influenced by something from the past. It’s not about creating some super-fresh new thing. If it doesn’t lend itself to your history, how is it going to extend to your future? That’s what’s really brilliant about looking into children’s eyes—you can see their parents in them.” The Washington Post called him “the Marvin Gaye of the ’90s”. Its columnist wrote that Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite “heralded the arrival of a top-of-the-class graduate of the old school of soul, one who could sing about romantic aspiration and tribulation with heart-wrenching emotion. It was as if the aesthetic that Gaye ascribed to — ‘music that has feeling, hope and meaning – all the things people are looking for’ — had been rediscovered after a long, hedonistic interlude.”

Facts & Trivia

Maxwell’s second studio album, Embrya, was released in early 1998, and upon its release it was panned by contemporary music critics. The album received mixed criticism for its more “indulgent sound.” With its internal focus and esoteric grooves, the album served as a departure for Maxwell, who did not regret risking his reputation with urban listeners for a more challenging record. The album experienced a critical backlash similar to that of other artists’ work that broke their previous releases’ successful formulas in favor of more compelling projects, now being termed “neo-soul.” In 1999, it won the Soul Train Music Award for Best Male Soul/R&B Album. In a retrospective review for Allmusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that Maxwell “overstuffs his songs with ideas that lead nowhere” and called Embrya “a bit of a sophomore stumble, albeit one with promising moments.” Arion Berger, writing in The Rolling Stone Album Guide (2004), found the songs monotonous and called the album “unfocused and pretentious … full of overwrought, underwritten songs with obscure, fancy titles revolving around a sort of sexual gnosticism.”

Why did Maxwell stop singing?

In 2009, the singer had to go through throat surgery because of swelling. This is always a tricky surgery for singers, as it is their primary instrument and there are so many things that can go wrong. Normally, the vocal cords are pearly white without any vasculature.
