What's with Kevin Max

[Silent Enigma]

I was googling for Kevin Max and found that he released a second album. I didn't read the lyrics to much of it yet so I don't know if it had much more of a point that the first one did.

Anyway I stopped to look at the official Kevin Max forums and man there are a lot of little perverts floating around in there. Either the mods can't handle it or they don't care.

Oh the tragedy.

Anyways, for those who have one or both of his albums, what do you think of them and do the lyrics honestly make any sense.

Kevin Max is a free spirit, quite possibly not guided by the Holy Spirit.

But his music can be enchanting, regardless.

...He also came out with a book of poetry, titled "Divine Erotica." Haven't read it (although he is a very talented poet), so not sure of the content, other than he mentioned that he wrote it to show that women's sexuality was created good.

Considering he came out of dctalk, he's quite a wierdo.

The other 2 seem more like regular guys making music.

I agree, he is strange, but his music is strangely compelling...

His new cd, The Imposter, is excellent...his lyrics make plenty of sense...

I had his first CD and half the lyrics were like---

"All you hot beautiful decietful evil women stay away stop making me siiiiiin"

Who knows where Kevin Max has allowed himself to go to.....I mean, I love the guys vocals, and songs, but it seems like as soon as he left the DC Talk hedge, he has become someone different. I don't him personally, but I pray that he will always follow Jesus.

The Imposter is a great album. Then again, his vocals sound good with just about anything. But one this record he worked with a lot of independent musicians with alot of integrity.

His lyrics are hit or miss, but I can pretty confidently say that he never had a line like that in a song. Especially seeing as he is taking some heat right now for his new erotic poetry book.

And, as the Theory said, he is indeed a ****ing heathen too.

I just found this.

It's a Wikipedia article, so you have to take it with a grain of salt. Interesting thing at the end.

In 1997, Max married Alayna Bennett. They divorced in 2003 for undisclosed reasons. He remarried in April of 2005 to Amanda Lynn MacDonald. Their daughter, London, was born in October of 2005. They live in Hollywood, California.

So she would've been 3 months pregnant when they got married. I wonder where he's going, theologically. The guy who participated in making the Jesus Freaks books in conjunction with Voice of the Martyrs. Its kind of disappointing.

If one can believe the article...

Yeah, it's not a good thing, but it happens all the time within the church, and even among ministers, as sad as it is. Not like I see any fruit from KMax, but if he is indeed redeemed (which will tell in time through perseverence, whether we know of it or not), I'm not going to damn him for being sexually immoral. It's not like he's ever deemed himself as a minister of the gospel, but merely a musician.

And even if he did refer to himself as an evangelist through his music, we must remember that Amy Grant is still CCM's posterchild, after all...so what's one more?

I am a huge fan of dc Talk partly because of Kevin. I could get lost in his voice alone. There are a handful of good songs on his first solo attempt. A coworker gave me a new CD of his for Christmas, didn't like it too much. I forget the name of it but it has like only 7 songs on it. It's like he's moving inch by inch closer to the deep end. Oh but I will always love that voice of his.
