Somesingers leave indelible marks. There's no mistaking the trademark vocals of U2's Bono, Matchbox 20's Rob Thomas, and dc Talk's Kevin "Kmax" Smith. On his first solo effort, Kmax lays down a progressive rock groove that incorporates elements of Eastern mysticism, industrial music, and eclectic pop. But regardless of the sound, there's no
mistaking that voice. Smith and producer-musician Adrian Belew never overwhelm you with the multiple studio effects they do employ, but all
the while, the music allows Smith's enigmatic vocals to take centerstage. Tracks that shine include "Return of the Singer," "Excellence,"
and "I Don't Belong," the last of which features lyrics that stronglyindict hero worship of any sort and display Smith's disdain for being
called a "rock star." Humility aside, the song also has a fantastic, catchy chorus and seems like a sure-fire radio hit. But those are at a
minimum on Stereotype Be, which is more about style and experimentation than radio-friendly pop. --Michael Lyttle

About Kevin Max
Known as the enigmatic voice of dctalk, as well as poet, author, father and actor, Kevin Max is the consummate artist's artist. Dctalk saw unparalleled success within their career selling over 8 million units and winning 4 Grammy awards, 1 of those Grammy's Kevin achieved for the Solo project featuring 2 of his songs off the critically acclaimed project Stereotype Be. Stereotype Be saw Kevin Max taking chances, both musically and lyrically and moving into a brand new field that dctalk fans could only have expected from the mercurial Max. After touring the project, Kevin relocated to Los Angeles California and released a follow-up EP titled Between the fence and the universe. Around the same time he continued persuing his passion for poetry by releasing his second poetry book, The Detritus of Dorian Gray. While in LA, kevin made relationships and began writing with artists like Van Dyke Parks (Beach Boys, U2, Rufus Wainright), Mark Hudson (Ozzy Osbourne, Ringo Starr) and Douglas Grean (Scott Weiland, Velvet Revolver). Booked by CAA in Beverly Hills, Kevin opened for the Black Crowes, Psychadelic Furs and many others at clubs and venues all over town. During these experimental Los Angeles connections, Kevin was asked to perform Off Broadway, as the Joseph in Joseph and The Technicolor Dreamcoat in central coast California. After performing Joseph, Kevin continued recording his 3rd solo project and signed to indie Orange Country label Northern Records. Northern then released The Imposter and Holy Night, a Christmas compilation put together by Max and staff producer Andy Prickett ( The Prayer Chain, The Violet Burning, Starflyer 59). Recently, Max has relocated again to Nashville Tn, from Las Vegas and has finished his brand new project THE BLOOD. The Blood is a gospel and blues cover album featuring dctalk, Amy Grant, Vince Gill, Mary Mary, Joanne Cash and others.

Thank you for the revival of "I Wish We'd All Been Ready" by Larry Norman. Sometimes we just need to K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Students) and remember our basics of our first love. Keep up the great job in lifting Him up.
