The Max drops new single, lyric video and preps for first new album in seven years
Today, The Max dropped the first single from his upcoming fifth album Recalibrate, his first full-length release in nearly seven years. The single, titled Closet Letter, is a song he calls a personal gay anthem, written from the perspective of someone writing a ‘it gets better’ letter to their younger self.
“It was an extrapolation of a website I attempted a few years back also called Closet Letter,” The Max said. “The song is personal to me in that if my younger self could read a letter written from the me of today, I wouldn’t have to worry or be afraid. I could tell myself that everything would be fine.”
The song is the first look at The Max’s upcoming new album Recalibrate, to be released in full on August 5. The album contains a wide range of songs and styles inspired by musical influences such as Dragonette, fun., Lady Gaga and singer/songwriters Brandi Carlile and Lori McKenna.
Also announced is a special deluxe edition of the album entitled Recalibrate Remodeled, which contains an additional four tracks originally planned for the 2011 EP Modeled, which was never officially released.
Previously known as MB, The Max released his breakthrough single This Life in 2001, which become the first ‘user song’ to chart on the PeopleBase chart. It was followed by two number one hits, Everybody’s Here featuring Rob64, and All I Need. The Max has released over a dozen singles, four albums, and two EPs, and in 2009, a Best Of compilation.
