Maxwell Teases Atlanta Tour Stop

From "Fortunate" to "Lifetime" to "Pretty Wings," Grammy Award winner Maxwell has built a career on timeless hits. The singer-songwriter admits he only releases music when he feels it’s meaningful. "If I don’t have something good to say, then it’s best not to say it," he said.

Fans in Atlanta won’t have to wait much longer—Maxwell brings The Serenade Tour to State Farm Arena on Friday night. He promises an unforgettable show: "We just want to sing songs as best we can as humanly possible… and give people an opportunity to break away and just let off some steam."

Next year marks the 30th anniversary of Maxwell’s debut album Urban Hang Suite. He says he’s still humbled every time he hears his music on the radio. "To this day, I’m blown away by the reality of it all. I’m grateful."
