Blige’s most recent album, “The London Sessions” – which she made with a host of young British artists, including Sam Smith and Disclosure – was released in 2014. “I can;t wait to get on the road with her”. It’s the second installment of his Grammy-winning and critically acclaimed musical trilogy, and Pitchfork calls it “exquisite and transcendental.[his] most cohesive effort”.
“Maxwell is a man that we need as women”, Blige said of her tour partner.
