He switched up from the jazzier leanings of <span class=\"xn-person\">Urban Hang Suite<\/span> to stronger basslines, lush strings, electronic beats and more pulsating beats and grooves versus melodies&mdash;with Hawaiian guitar riffs and Latin accents thrown in for good measure. And whereas the retro-souled Suite&#8217;s concept revolved around romance, Embrya takes the musical discussion to the next level: the gestation of love and spirituality.<\/p>\n<p>It was also recently announced that <span class=\"xn-location\">Maxwell<\/span> will perform the National Anthem at the Opening Night Ceremony of 2018 US Open.
