Reviewed by Callum Ashworth, 247 Album Verdict

A smooth, sensual neo-soul concept album that helped define the genre. Warm and cohesive. An influential debut. The record that established what Maxwell was about.

On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
