Urban Hang Suite also marked the debut of Maxwell’s tenor on a recording. His vocalizing-Brooklyn Baptist church-inspired but Quiet Storm smooth-remains a timbral wonder. On falsetto-driven torch tunes like Lonely’s the Only Company (I&II), his luscious voice wafts out of the speakers, floating on whispery utterances and feline coos that can cause shudders like the unexpected stroke of a hand down the spine. On Urban Hang Suite, Maxwell’s island roots might show up in the album’s sinewy bass grooves, the long instrumental rhythmic stretches, and the vaguely Latin/calypso horn arrangements.

In the mid-’90s, as popular R&B headed further toward hip-hop, Maxwell’s impressive debut took its cues, instead, from ‘60s and ‘70s soul; Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite was loose but elegant, subdued but sensual, and ultimately known as a neo-soul classic. The Brooklyn singer’s airy falsetto beckons a lover on super-sensual quiet-storm jam Welcome.

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite is significant only in that it recasts the same old same old as something monumental, and nearly pulls it off. Initially, there's a lot to like about Maxwell: On his openers, "Urban Theme" and "Welcome," the early '80s full-band R&B and jazz pop grooves are reminiscent of Maze's brightest days and Steely Dan's coolest nights. But soon even Maxwell's passionate voice gets lost in a flat mix that turns every song into faceless background music
