Well , I am a fan of years of Maxi Priest and have been waiting eagerly for a new cd to FINALLY get released....Although AMAZON keeps pushing the date futher away , I was able to get a promo copy from the U.K....
I have now listened to the disc a few times and it keeps growing on me. I was hoping for a little more rootsy type of groove, but am pretty pleased in general. "Like I do" and "fields" and "tender touch" seem to have radio appeal, especially the later....What we need is a double cd from MAXI with roots-n-culture on one and then maxi-love/r&b stylee on the other (whatch think??)
Anyway , I think it is definately worth the purchase and suggest all fans do so. Unfortunately the www.maxipriest.com website brings you to another company, and finding tour info or fan info is very hard but keep your eyes open, Maxi may be in a town near you very soon, AND GET OUT THERE AND SUPPORT HIM !!!Rrrrrrrrrespect !!!!!!!!!

I finally got the "2 the Max" CD after a long wait and I love it!


I'm not sure how to describe a man as talented as Maxi Priest. No matter what style of music he sings, he does it all just right. As the saying goes, " good things come to those who wait", well "2 The Max" was worth the "wait" and it is definitely a "good thing". I only wish it had 24 songs instead of 12.

As I am a huge fan of Maxi Priest, I had greatly anticipated this new CD. I didn't find it quite lived up to his previous albums however there are spatterings of the 'old' Maxi with his number 3 track and a reworking of Wild World with Wycleff. Overall, it's an average CD but I'm still a fan!

We love this CD! It's got a great vibe and a soothing reggae feel.
All songs are great!

I bought this cd and was very impressed. Maxi still has it, so add it to your collection!

The songs, "There's Nothing Like This," has great commercial radio appeal. "Tender Touch" is an upbeat Reggae cut with a hint of Beres Hammonds written all over it. Maxi did an awsome job on the song, "Hero To Zero." The song "Full Hundred" & "Like I Do," reminds me of Old School Reggae Lover's Rock from way back in the day for sure with a little bit of old school R&B flavor. The roots/reggae cut "Cry For The Children." People think that Maxi has lost his edge with conscious reggae music but this song proves that he can still put out those positive lyrics. Other great songs on this cd are: "Fields" (done by Sting) and WildFire (done by Dennis Brown) Maxi slightly changed some of the words, but the songs are nicely done. Also, let's not forget to give credit to the band w/Dean Frazier and the backgorund singers. Great job!

Maxi has held his own in the music industry for about 20 years and this goes to show you that he has "Stamina", "Staying Power" and "Longevity" All the ingredients of a true and talented entertainer.

You've been blessed with a talent, to use your voice as a vehicle to spread, love, knowledge, and truth. For that, I give thanks. I hope that you continue to create more beautiful songs for our listening enjoyment.

KNUFF RESPECT!!!

One Luv

It's nice to hear Maxi singing again with a roots reggae feel once again; Maxi is a very soulful singer who strayed to much for commercialism in his recent albums. It's nice to hear he's back----------------
