Chi รจ Maxwell
An R&B auteur with a supple voice, Maxwell has been one of the leading lights of neo-soul music since his mid-โ90s emergence. Born Gerald Maxwell Rivera in 1973, the Brooklyn native grew up on the slick pop-soul of the early โ80s as he taught himself musicโs ins and outs. He wrote and gigged around New York constantly and was signed to a record deal in 1994; two years later, his debut, Maxwellโs Urban Hang Suite, came out, becoming a commercial success thanks to singles like the swooning โAscension (Donโt Ever Wonder).โ The next year, he released MTV Unplugged, which showcased his musicianship and wide-ranging tastes on revamped versions of his own songs as well as Nine Inch Nails and Kate Bush covers. Embrya, issued in 1998, was a high-concept, meticulously arranged foray into progressive soul; its follow-up, Now, included his reimagining of Bushโs โThis Womanโs Work,โ which quickly became one of his signature tracks. After a years-long hiatus, Maxwell released BLACKsummersโnight, the first album in a proposed trilogy, to widespread acclaim and commercial success in 2009; with tracks like the stunning โPretty Wingsโ and the simmering โBad Habits,โ it re-established Maxwell as one of R&Bโs leading songwriters. The second piece in the trilogy, blackSUMMERSโnight, came out in 2016, with the gleaming โ1990Xโ and the flinty โIIIโ further showcasing his musical and compositional swagger. Maxwell is an artist who works at his own pace, but patience has always paid off.
