Those who argued that the urban contemporary market of the 1980s and 1990s was plagued by an excess of faceless, assembly-line artists could easily point to Suave as one of the more blatant offenders. The singer was never big on imagination or risk-taking, and with To the Maxx, he has an album defined by its total lack of sincerity. Suave obviously reasoned that the easiest way to appeal to urban contemporary radio was to make sure his material sounded as calculated and unoriginal as possible; the result is that there's absolutely nothing to distinguish generic new jack swing tunes like "Zero," "Dog Me Out" and "Got Me Goin'" from countless other songs radio was playing at the time. The slower material is equally embarrassing, and Suave often sounds like a poor man's Guy or a low-rent Bobby Brown. Blatantly contrived from start to finish, To the Maxx is an album to steer clear of.
