KevinMax - BrokenTemples

Every now and then I’ll do a hunt around iTunes, or on a site like jesufreakhideout.com, to see if a band or artist I’ve been into has a new project coming out. I was surprised when I saw news of an upcoming Kevin Max album. Last I had heard he was fronting Audio Adrenaline, a band now devoid of a single original member. Kevin, for those too young to remember, was one third of DC Talk. DC Talk were, arguably, the Christian band of the 90s. When they labelled themselves as rap, rock and soul it was Kevin who rocked. He also wrote poems.

His first solo album of the post DC-Talk era was an eclectic art rock affair that kicked off: “I’m coming out like a .45; Spinning like a Wurlitzer on overdrive; Feeling like electro glide; Touch down satellite, feel all right; Tonight, return of love; Return, return of the singer.” Now Kevin Max was coming back for another go at the solo game. I was intrigued and so, as it was competitively priced on iTunes, I hit pre-order. The morning it arrived in my laptop I was listening to it over breakfast when my wife interrupted with a few questions. This was the conversation.

Who’s this? Kevin Max. He was the weird one? Yeah. (Full disclosure: he was the DC Talk member I most wanted to be like.) This sounds happier than his other stuff…can I have it on my computer?

A week or so later she’d hashtag it #MusicWeLove while I’m more in the #MusicWeWouldLoveToLove camp. Broken Temples is a good pop album, one that is decidedly less angsty than either Stereotype Be or The Imposter. It’s an album that talks openly about God and about moving on from the past. But for me it misses something of the musical invention of the old Kevin. And I don’t imagine he would have crowbarred the line “literally free of sarcasm” into When We Were Young when he was younger.

But there are tunes worth checking out here are. Take these three for starters:

Light Me Up

That Was Then and This Is Now

White Horse

If you are going to buy the album before previewing it is worth knowing Going Clear is a remix of Clear and Just As I Am is remixed as Another Big Mistake. For me, two songs appearing twice on a ten track album is indeed a mistake, however good the songs and remixes in question are.
