PRETTY WINGS is also seeing a spincrease in stations playing RHYTHMIC and SMOOTH AC (formerly Smooth Jazz) music. Currently working on updating the Radio Request page.

I am so happy for M. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of these accolades. He is just such a genuine, humble person and a gifted artist. And not to mention drop dead gorgeous with his grown and sexy self. I love you Maxwell!!!!!
