Maxwell has officially recorded his rendition of Al Green’s “Simply Beautiful.” Green wrote and recorded “Simply Beautiful” for his 1972 classic album, I’m Still in Love with You. Maxwell has included the song in his live shows for years and performed it at the BET Awards in 2008 as a tribute to Green. “Simply Beautiful” will probably be included on his trilogy-finishing Blacksummers’ NIGHT album. He also shared a video of him recording in the studio and talking about his introduction to Green’s music. Tickets are on sale for his fall Serenade Tour, which has October London and Jazmine Sullivan on the bill. The Urban Hang Suite Cruise returns in 2025; cabins are being booked now.
