Music reviews of Solo
Music Review: Three's company, two's a crowd, one is....Solo
Rating: 4 Stars
...Despite the manufactured, heady sense of coming attractions that mark Solo and its decidedly perfunctory PR thrust, it's enjoyable simply for the strokes of contrast splashed around by three guys whom you would never ever guess had been in the same group for a dozen years. Tait, Max, and Toby are so disparate, yet so talented that they could almost fool you into thinking they've been on their own for that many years--the new individual sounds can be taken on their own terms, with little or no accountability to the tie that binds, the dc Talk legacy. Tait is to be commended for not taking the high road to cookie-cutter fame as one more mellifluous baritone purveyor of syrupy r&b. With a trio of veteran rockers behind him, there isn't a pelvic thrust (not that there would be, realistically; this is Christian pop, after all) in sight. Tait's new venture really isn't a solo odyssey at all, his adopted bandmates are merely gracious enough to accept his surname for a moniker. Tait's two contributions to Solo evoke Matchbox Twenty, only with Seal subbing for Rob Thomas. If that's not eclectic enough for you, there's Kevin Max, aka KMax, who immediately throws the unitiated off stride with that hip-hop-sounding tag, and then really raises eyebrows with a swirl of tricked-out electronica hints and sophisticated drum loops...Rounding out this sampler of things to come is a freebie cover that hearkens back to the unplugged portions of past dc Talk live sets. The song is U2's "40" which is wrought with passable intimacy, and proper allegiance to its progenitors, Bono et al. Solo succeeds comfortably on its own terms; it serves as a clever piece of salvage for dc Talk fans disheartened by the far-away timetable of the next studio album, and as a tease for the upcoming solo records for Tait, Max, and Toby. Whether any of the three albums will be kudo-worthy in its entirety is only speculation at this point, however.
Description of Solo
SOLO (EP)This product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.
Capturing a fitting theme, dc Talk opens their new record, Solo, with a live cover of U2's "40." After the repeated anthem "I will sing, sing a new song" runs its course, what follows is a showcase of new material from Michael Tait, Kmax, and Toby McKeehan. Solo is actually a CD sampler aimed at priming fans for the upcoming release of dc Talk members' three new solo projects. First up, Michael Tait explores relationships in a couple of pop-rock tunes that line up with mainstream top-10 lists. Next, Kmax shoots at funky aesthetics with his poetry-thick brand of art pop. These songs provide substance for those with a taste for the eclectic. Finally, McKeehan delivers a hip-hop/rap-core experience with an undeniable Limp Bizkit influence. When bands stay together for as long as dc Talk have, solo projects are often a natural step in the musicians' development. Three solo projects at the same time may be an unprecedented occurrence, not to mention an assault to the wallet, so choose your favorite Talk carefully. --Israel Button
