the making of "simply beautiful"
An exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of Maxwell's new single, "Simply Beautiful." Inspired by the legendary Al Green, Maxwell shares his deep admiration for the iconic musician and songwriter.
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.
Don't miss out on this intimate glimpse into the studio and experience the passion and precision behind every note.
