On Maxwell's Columbia debut (a sultry collection of songs blending vintage soul with a fresh, contemporary twist), this 22-year-old New Yorker wrote and produced the entire album, working with high-profile collaborators including multi-instrumentalist Stuart Matthewman (Sade), Chicago mixer/engineer Peter Mokran, songwriter Leon Ware (Marvin Gaye) and legendary guitarist Wah Wah Watson. First focus track/video: "... Til the Cops Come Knockin'" to urban, alternative and jazz college formats.
