Daley Performs Maxwell’s ‘Pretty Wings’ On The Splash

Signed to Universal Music (Polydor), you’ll, no doubt, be seeing and hearing a lot more from the 21 year old. In the meanwhile, you can see him soar on stirring rendition of Maxwell‘s ‘Pretty Wings’ on The Splash!

Hot Shots: Maxwell Becomes A ‘Storyteller’

Soul crooner Maxwell reminisced on his 15 year career during a taping of VH1 Storytellers this week.

The ‘Pretty Wings’ singer assembled 150 fans for the intimate gig, which was shot at New York’s Metropolis Studio.

Speaking during the show, which airs on June 17th, he said:

“’Storytellers’ has been around for 15 years, and it’s been 15 years since I put out my first album ‘Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite’. You have this dream as a kid, and the next thing you know you’re at ‘VH1 Storytellers’ and the crowd is singing along to your songs. It’s a blessing.”

The 38 year old is currently prepping the sequel to 2009′s double Grammy winning ‘BLACKsummers’night’ for release later this year.

From The Vault: Maxwell – ‘Ascension (Don’t Ever Wonder)’

This week’s From The Vault comes all the way from 1996 courtesy of Maxwell. Released as the 2nd single from his debut album, ‘Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite’, ‘Ascension (Don’t Ever Wonder)’ was the 1st of many hits for the falsetto master, peaking at #8 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and #28 on the Billboard Hot 100.

This song is a true classic of 90s R&B and still enjoys consistent airplay (even here in Trinidad). Maxwell is definitely one of the best singers (male or female) that the industry has seen in a long time and what is most impressive is the fact that his vocal prowess has only gotten better.

If you want to test the power of this record then simply play it in a large crowd and see what happens.
