Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite is the debut album by American R&B singer-songwriter Maxwell. It was recorded in 1994 and 1995 and originally released on April 2, 1996, by Columbia Records. It is a heartfelt, soulful album that praises monogamous love. From the scratched vinyl introduction to the loose, late night soul of The Urban Theme, the album is sophisticated, accessible R&B. Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder) was the rightful hit single and the nagging funk of Dancewitme demonstrates the album is not all about the bedroom. The spirit of Prince hovers in the mix as well, especially on Lonely's The Only Company (I and II).
