guests 21 and over will be ad

Maxwell may appear smooth
and suave onstage, but he says
it's all just an act.
The soul singer says he's ac
tually insecure — so a concert
tour last fall helped boost his
confidence about releasing a
new album.
Maxwell says going on the
road also gave him a lot of in
spiration for his new material.
