Maxwell’s show at Prudential Center comes just weeks before the 20th anniversary of his genre-defining first album, Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite. His most recent album, the platinum-selling BLACKsummers’night, was released in 2009, debuted at #1 and earned him a pair of Grammys. Maxwell is putting the final touches on the second album in his trilogy, blackSUMMERS’night, planned for release in 2016.
