1) Christian R&B/Dance artist that released music on N*Soul records. Maximillian's first and last album Deeper Than Most is a worthwhile old school house dream. The last song on the album is full on beat boxing.
2) Maximillian was formed by 3 N.Y. based musicians who adopted much of the Hendrix style and line-up (bass, guitar, drums) releasing this sole album in 1969. Led by guitarsit Mojack Maximillian and produced by songwriter Teddy Vann, they deliver a soul bluesy infected psych-rock, full of fuzz and wah-wah distorsions and effects. The LP has meanwhile become extremely rare, whicl this CD has been properly remastered and elegantly digi-packaged.
From New York, produced and arranged by Teddy Vann, this is an album which gets a mixed response from collectors. Some like it, claiming that it's Hendrix inspired psych soul rock here, on tracks like Rat Race or Kickin' 9 to 5, and deserves to be heard. Others hate it, citing awful vocals and weak material.
Featuring a trio plus anonymous drums and occasional organ and violin, the album came housed in a gatefold sleeve with pictures of the trio being crucified on flower crosses and various religious symbols. The liner notes explained that "Golgotha music was one of the few surviving vestiges of truth. Its prophets of love and truth such as BB King, Bob Dylan, Donovan, Aretha Franklin, Arlo Guthrie and Joan Baez sang the psalms of time. The crucifixion of the social heroes of the day, Martin Luther King, John and Robert Kennedy, has made even bigger demands on the importance and value of music, thus creating new prophets of love and truth".

They call me Yung Maximilli
Haircut like Bobby Brown
If you wanna feel the stranger thing
Drop it low then turn around
Dear Diary April 11th, 2017
What's the 411
Fish out of water
I see right through to you
Try and blend in
But you're far too special and
You don't know the half
But quite frankly it's a mouthful
So I'll just uh
Shut my mouth
Push my way through the crowd
Said I think it's your turn to dance
Before you spun around and said
No it's yours
No, I think it's your turn
And next thing that I knew
We were two
Strangers in the moonlight
Who's to say
We'll all go hungry like
The wolf cries into midnight
If you must run away
Run away with me
Run away with me
See you don't ever have to run away no
You don't ever have to run away no
By yourself witcha friends
Cause they have no idea
Bigger the castle is
Just more to room to be alone my dear
You still don't know the half of it
But tonight's not the night oh no no
Then boom you ran out
Irish goodbye
But I saw you on the street
Looking me dead in my eye
And now the world knows
Secrets kept between intimate
Strangers in the moonlight
Who's to say
We'll all go hungry like
The wolf cries into midnight
If you must run away
Run away with
Strangers in the moonlight
Who's to say
We'll all go hungry like
The wolf cries into midnight
If you must run away
Run away with me
Now in this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer bird
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My heart so full I can't explain
Dancing with a stranger
I'll duet with
Another Day
Strangers in the moonlight
Who's to say
We'll all go hungry like
The wolf cries into midnight
If you must run away
Run away with
Maximillian's "Strangers" is an emotional and nostalgic song and requires some interpretation. The song is primarily about exploring the feeling of being a stranger in a unknown or unfamiliar place, connecting with someone to make that place feel like home, and overcoming feelings of isolation and loneliness. Maximillian begins by sharing his identity and appearance and then explaining his frustrations and insecurities about not feeling like he belongs. He describes opening up to a stranger and the connection they share under the moonlight. The lyrics continue with the idea that one does not have to be alone, and urges the stranger to run away with him. The final verse shifts its focus on hope in a difficult time, as the singer explains that even when things seem bleak, love and connection can help one dance through the difficulties.
The song captures a young person's emotional journey of finding themselves in a strange new environment, and discovering that even in places where it seems impossible to fit in, there are always people one can connect with. The song provides a sense of courage and hope for those who may be struggling to find a place to belong. Maximillian's songs can be extremely relatable to many people who may go through similar situations and feel lonely.

Dear Diary April 11th, 2017
Starting a new idea or story
What's the 411
Asking what's going on or what's the news
Uh uh uh uh
Making more sounds to give his song a fun vibe
Fish out of water
Feeling out of place or being different in a particular setting
I see right through to you
Being able to understand or read someone's true intentions or emotions
Try and blend in
Attempting to fit in or not stand out
But you're far too special and
Not being able to blend in because of being unique in a positive way
You don't know the half
Not fully understanding the situation or person
But quite frankly it's a mouthful
Having too much to say or communicate
So I'll just uh
Stopping to avoid complicating things
Shut my mouth
Stopping oneself from speaking further
Push my way through the crowd
Moving forward even if it's difficult or uncomfortable
Said I think it's your turn to dance
Encouraging the other person to take the lead
Before you spun around and said
The other person responds, taking control of the situation
No it's yours
Declining the offer to lead with kindness
No, I think it's your turn
Offering the chance to lead again, showing kindness and equality
And next thing that I knew
Suddenly experiencing something unexpected
We were two
Two strangers having a moment of connection
Strangers in the moonlight
Illustrating a romantic moment between two people who don't know each other well
Who's to say
Questioning the possibility of something happening
We'll all go hungry like
Comparing the feeling of hunger to something emotional
The wolf cries into midnight
Using imagery to evoke a sense of sadness or loneliness
If you must run away
Expressing a desire for the listener not to leave
Run away with me
Suggesting they take a chance and go somewhere else together
See you don't ever have to run away no
Assuring the listener that they don't have to leave to find happiness
By yourself witcha friends
Being alone even when surrounded by people
Cause they have no idea
Other people not fully understanding oneself
Bigger the castle is
Having more space or material possessions doesn't automatically grant happiness
Just more to room to be alone my dear
Feeling lonely or empty even with all of the material things
You still don't know the half of it
Others not fully realizing everything that one is going through
But tonight's not the night oh no no
Not wanting to focus on the negative in that moment
Then boom you ran out
Having another unexpected moment
Irish goodbye
Leaving a gathering or event without saying goodbye to anyone
But I saw you on the street
Unexpectedly seeing the other person again
Looking me dead in my eye
Meeting someone's gaze or looking deeply into their eyes
And now the world knows
The news or experience being shared with others
Secrets kept between intimate
Sharing something intimate or private between two people
Now in this time of fear
Referencing a time of uncertainty or danger
When prayer so often proves in vain
Not relying on simple solutions to complex problems
Hope seems like the summer bird
Feeling like it's hard to grasp onto hope or positivity
Too swiftly flown away
Losing hope or positivity quickly
Yet now I'm standing here
Feeling a sense of strength or resilience despite difficult circumstances
My heart so full I can't explain
Feeling an overwhelming sense of joy or emotion
Dancing with a stranger
Still having a sense of connection with someone despite not knowing them well
I'll duet with
Continuing to make music or have experiences with another person
Another Day
Looking forward to the future and what's to come
