The Listening Room™: Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite Penthouse Series

In 1996, Maxwell arrived with Urban Hang Suite and changed what R&B was allowed to feel like.

It wasn't rushed. It was felt.

Where My Life holds you in truth, this album meets you in warmth. In intimacy. In the kind of music that makes a room feel like it's only meant for the people inside it.

If you know it, you already know what kind of night this becomes.

Maxwell — Urban Hang Suite Heard in full. On vinyl. Start to finish. An album of sensuality, tenderness, and emotional depth.

35 seats. The penthouse at Hotel Sorrento, Seattle.

Candlelight. Stillness. Sound.

No phones. No chatter. Just presence.

Doors open at 5:30 pm.

Guests arrive to light bites, a full bar available for purchase, and a custom scent designed specifically for this album and this evening.

Then the ritual begins.

Side A and B.

When the needle lifts, the room opens.

A guided reflection on the music — what it awakens, what it remembers, what it makes you feel.

This is not a concert. It is a listening ritual.

Your seat includes:

— Penthouse access at Hotel Sorrento — High-fidelity vinyl playback — Light bites — Custom Listening Room candle — yours to take home — Guided post-album reflection

There are no standing tickets. No overflow.

35 seats. When they're claimed, the room closes.

You don't stream this. You sit inside it.

Info: Collector's Edition guests enter the Penthouse at Hotel Sorrento at 5:15 PM — fifteen minutes before general doors open. A quiet moment to settle in, take in the atmosphere, and choose your seat before anyone else arrives. Your ticket also includes Still Here, a custom candle created exclusively for this night by Defiant Candle Co., numbered and signed by Joshua, and accompanied by a handwritten personal note. The same scent fills the Collector's Edition Early Entry (Pick Seats First) room. Yours to take home. Only 10 Collector's Edition seats exist.

Info: Doors open. Candlelit room above the city. Skyline views, signature cocktails, and bites. Settle in.

Info: Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite played in full on vinyl (Side A). Phones away. Full presence.

Info: A brief candle-lit interlude. Refresh your glass. Return to stillness.

Info: The album concludes. Uninterrupted.

Info: Guided reflection. Space to share what moved you — emotionally, culturally, personally.
