“A Man Called Max,” a jumpy, earnest guitar-pop self-portrait brimming with personality, turns 4est Fleur inward. The fast-sung vocals give the track youthful movement, and the simple chords keep the emotional honesty of the track front and center. Fleur nails that awkwardness of thoughts that won’t sit down and shut up. "If I didn't know that then I'm not / The Man Called Max" and "Max-a-milli-on a million thoughts" make the song feel personal without feeling heavy. It's an affectionate snapshot of a restless mind, served with charm, sincerity and lots of heart.
