Maxwell Covers Al Green Classic ‘Simply Beautiful’

Maxwell has released his new single “Simply Beautiful,” a rendition of the classic Al Green song.

“The first time I heard Al Green’s music I was amazed. He is such an icon, I mean what a brilliant musician and songwriter. It’s been an honor to get in the studio and record one of his songs. I’ve been singing ‘Simply Beautiful’ on tours for a while. It’s nice to finally record it, in its entirety,” states Maxwell.

Next month Maxwell will kick off “The Serenade” tour on September 14th at Hard Rock Hollywood. The expansive 25+ date tour sees the soul singer returning to legendary arenas, such as Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Kia Forum in Los Angeles, and more.

Maxwell will be joined by special guest two-time Grammy Award-winning R&B powerhouse Jazmine Sullivan and rising singer/songwriter October London.

Check out the new single and a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Maxwell‘s new single, “Simply Beautiful.” Maxwell shares his deep admiration for the iconic musician and songwriter.
