Maxwell has a better voice than Prince, IMO.

I think Maxwell has a better voice, but not as much of a musical persona or personality. Some parts of "Pretty Wings" reminds me of Prince, too.

Yes, I also think that maxwell natural register is more pleasant but he does sound like Prince on the last album. Don't you think that his voice has changed ?

I don't think he sounds like Prince. I've never mistaken a new Maxwell song for Prince. Max is a better vocalist, too.

I never thought Max sounded like P until I listened to Bad Habit. So far, that's the only song that I hear the similarities. He only sounds like P in 2 parts of the song.

...I saw him in Mpls years ago and yes, he did kill it. Let's just say it rained drawers that night.

I've seen Prince too and love him also.

Maxwell's singing reminds me of Leroy Hutson too, so if you like Maxwell check out Leroy's music.

In certain songs he does have a "Prince-like" sound, but not all the time. Maxwell has his own sound.
