Review

Some singers 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 center stage. Tracks that shine include "Return of the Singer," "Excellence," and "I Don't Belong," the last of which features lyrics that strongly indict 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
