Legacy Recordings

With urban hip and a post-modern heart, Maxwell invented himself every day by sweet-talking to his image in the mirror. Whispering his way around hip-hop beats, he brings singing, instrumentation and a joy-and-pain moan between the sheets. Personifying the neo-Marvin is a tomcat who knows how to be good enough to get a little bit of that bad stuff. Part New York cool and West Indian ideal, Maxwell faces challenges Marvin never did, like caution in the age of AIDS.
