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.

Love Maxwell. I saw his tour with Jill Scott, and this was the encore song before “Pretty Wings”. He had the entire STAPLES Center singing the words. It was such a magical moment. Ah, memories…
I was actually just jamming to this song in my car like 2 hours ago. I love Maxwell. He is absolutely one of the few male r&b artist who I adore.
I miss his afro.

You don’t have to have strong voice to be considered a great singer.
says its blocked in my country
YESSSSSSSSS! Love this man to death!
I love each and every one of his albums dearly and I still think he’s VERY underrated. He needs to hurry up with the second installment of his BlackSummersNight trilogy!
Love Maxwell! <3
