How interesting is this? One of the hottest bands in Christian music, taking a break as a group and splitting up into three temporary solo acts? Wow! How can you not pick up this album, even if it's simply for curiosity? Michael Tait (branching into a band called Tait), Toby McKeehan (known as tobyMac) and Kevin Max (used to be Kmax, now going back to Kevin Max, soon to be some crazy weird symbol probably) are all releasing their solo efforts in 2001. Solo is a glimpse into this future with 2 new tracks from each artist plus one previously unreleased song ("Forty") from dc talk. The results are simply amazing. While listening to each artist, you really get a sense of how all three make up dc talk. Toby brings the rap/hip-hop elements, Tait brings the harmonies and Kevin brings the artistry. Combined, we all know what they produce, but separately, it's almost surreal as you listen to each part of the puzzle that makes up dc talk as a whole. Tait is pure rock and the two songs provided have already sold me on his upcoming album. Toby is rap/hip-hop and the 2 songs have excited me as well. Only Kevin's music sparks my interest to hear more, without deciding one way or another. All in all, this short glimpse into the future is definitely worth the small change.
