Back in 1998 when Maxwell released Embrya, a follow-up to seminal debut Urban Hang Suite, the famously suave purveyor of sophisticated and mature R&B (casually referred to as “Grown Folk Music”) was met with piles of critical backlash.

Blige seemed to spice up their separate sets as a crowded United Center endlessly snapped photos and sang alongside the soulful co-headliners.

King and Queen was Blige’s idea: I came up with the title from understanding that is who we are she said – a polite way of declaring that she and Maxwell have between them won 11 Grammys and Blige alone has sold upwards of 50m albums.

Perhaps it would be #Maxwell that would constantly trend on Twitter whenever the R&B artist dropped even the slightest hint of new music.

Two of these names stood out amongst the others one being the eminent D'Angelo the other being festival headliner Maxwell.
