Title: Confused the hell out of me
Review: With his first album, Maxwell had the potential to be one of the greats and he almost lost all of it with this album. I do give Maxwell credit for attempting to be different however on this album he confused with the odd song titles and overall mood of the CD. Maxwell wants to be so much more than just another soul crooner, but his gifts become obscured the more he pushes them forward. Maxwell does have a remarkable voice and he can write really good modern soul songs -- it's just that he has a tendency to think that's not enough and then he overstuffs his songs with ideas that lead nowhere which is why this CD floped so hard. Luckily he reedemed himself with Fortunate in 1999 and his thrid CD NOW in 2001. Because this CD almost destroyed a promsing carrer.
