From the start of 'Return of the Singer' to the End of 'I Went Over the Edge of the World' you'll be hooked to this CD! As soon as I found out last June that this album was coming out I pre-ordered from the States to make sure I was one of the first people in England to get a copy, and it was well worth it.
You'll fall under the spell of Kevin's soft, sensuous voice and just not want to turn this CD off! It combines many kinds of music from the softer 'Be' to the anthemic rock track 'Deconstructing Venus', and the first US single 'Existence' is garanteed to have you singing the chorus over and over again and not getting sick of it sending chills up and down your whole body.
The album combines all of Kevin's musical influences; from Oasis-esque stompers, to Duran Duran like, weird, spaced out songs that'll have you singing forever, to the very Bono-esque, U2 sounding hidden track 3 minutes into track 14. Give it a listen.
I cannot recommend this album highly enough, and suggest you listen to Tait, and TobyMac's albums too, you will just want to keep the DC Talk 'Solo' vibe going 'On And On'!

As he proved time and again over the years with dc Talk, KMax has talent. His voice is like a musical instrument in itself, mastered and handled with a name all of its own. I implore everyone to listen to a sample yourselves. That on its own would be enough to buy this album twice.
Return Of The Singer and Her Game stand out for most people as favourites. The album itself, Stereotype Be is a progressive peice of rock that insists people be more than simple chameleons and complex imitations.
But the writing adds another dimension entirely. Kevin Max is an experienced poet, however that doesn't cloud any of the relevant modern issues within his songs. The lyrics are challenging, the voice is perfect, they compliment each other in a world that is starved of both. The artist is a genius, the album is Stereotype Be. Essential.

As long as you don't go into this album expecting to hear DC Talk minus two sets of vocals you should be pleasantly surprised by this one. It might not instantly grab you and pin you to your stereo but it definitely rewards the repeat listener. Lyrically this was always likely to be intricate, distinguished and at times obscure. Anyone familiar with DC Talk will know Kevin Max is a poet. Musically, there are 6 or 7 tunes of real quality here. Listen without prejudice and let Kevin Max do the rest. he does it pretty well.
