Playful pop, R&B, rap, and a vivid panoply of other styles merge on
Colour Vision, the third full-length from New York-born singer/songwriter
Max Schneider, better known by his all-caps mononym,
MAX. Released four years after 2016's
Hell's Kitchen Angel, the highly collaborative affair includes a variety of guests from
Quinn XCII on the bubbly soul of "Love Me Less" to
BTS member
Suga on the sweet half-Korean love song "Blueberry Eyes." Rich with detail and hooks,
Colour Vision feels more elaborately conceived than previous
MAX releases with thematic and tonal arcs, a strong visual element, and a solid mix of interesting production and clever pop songcraft.
