Last night VH1 aired Maxwell’s anticipated ‘Storytellers’ show. The intimate concert was held at Metropolis Studios in New York City in front of a 150 member audience. The soulful crooner opened his set with my favorite “Ascension” and continued on through many of his classics such as “Bad Habits,” “Downdeep,” “Whenever, Wherever, Whatever,” “Sumthin Sumthin,” “Fistful of Tears” and closed the night with “Pretty Wings”.
“‘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,” the humble crooner told the crowd. “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 follow-up to BLACKsummers’night is due later this year, but for now, enjoy the sweet sounds of Maxwell below.
