Every song fits Marx like a thousand-dollar suit; it's hard to pick one out that's not tailor-made for your favorite lite FM station. They all portray Marx as the lonely-yet-attractive outsider of countless similar songs, though "Almost Everything," with its "All Along the Watchtower" opening minor-key chords, points the way to a more genuine emotional commitment to his material. "Power of You and Me" is a midtempo rocker that recalls late '80s adult contemporary rock at its best, while also harking towards a kind of Nashville 2000 country/rock hybrid that would sound at home on a SheDaisy album (Marx has collaborated with both the Nashville girl combo and 'N Sync). "Straight From My Heart" is a pretty, acoustic song that's more obviously Nashville-oriented. Marx is certainly a consummate songsmith--the son of a Chicago commercial jingle songwriter, he learned writing-to-order at his father's knee. For unrepentant, grown-up pop smarts, look no further.
