Maxwell has announced the inaugural Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite Cruise, a four-night ocean cruise that takes place February 10-14, 2024. In addition to two exclusive sets by the R&B singer himself, it will also feature performances by Robert Glasper, Ledisi, Gallant, Sabrina Claudio, Musiq Soulchild, and Leela James. The cruise takes place on the Norwegian Pearl with stops at Great Stirrup Cay and Nassau in the Bahamas. Check out promo videos and the official flyer below.
Though it shares its name with Maxwell’s debut album from 1996, Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite Cruise does not yet mention what songs the singer will performed on the trip. It’s been seven years since blackSUMMERS’night came out. In 2018, he announced the final installment of his trilogy, Night, but the album has yet to surface.
Maxwell has released a handful of singles since then, like “Off” and “We Never Saw It Coming,” and reissued his sophomore LP Embrya. In 2021, he performed at the Soul Train Awards where he was honored with the Legend award, and last year he covered Michael Jackson’s “The Lady in My Life” at the Billboard Music Awards.
