MAX, Say Less | Song Review

Pop singer/songwriter MAX, assisted by Duckwrth, drops a brief but slick bop, “Say Less,” which appears on his third studio album, Love in Stereo.

“Uh huh / Say less, say less / Cuz you already got me baby.” Word, MAX, word! The talented pop singer drops a pop bop with “Say Less”, which appears on his 2024 LP, Love in Stereo.  Although brief at just over two-and-a-half-minutes in duration, the track is straight up fire ! Furthermore, the pop star gets a rad assist from Duckwrth. MAX and Duckwrth penned “Say Less” alongside Tia Scola, Mayer Hawthorne (!), Michael Cody Dear, and Jacob Ray.  Providing the kick ass, picturesque, and hella slick backdrop is MAX, Dear, and Ray. 

Throughout “Say Less,” the MAX is taken with her – infatuated. “Do you believe in love at first sight,” he asks her, continuing, “Or should I walk on by again.” She (who is nameless) later responds, via him, in the pre-chorus, “She said, baby what you talkin’ about / Let’s do something else with that mouth.” Ooh-wee – it’s getting hot in here!  Of course, those lyrics provide perfect context to the title.  Beyond MAX’s awesome singing, Duckwrth gets into the mix, and gets a little dirty: “I’m a gentleman baby and a dog with a bite / I just wanna nibble on your ass all night.” Whoa, whoa! He caps off his verse with a ‘bang’ too: “And if you can’t groove she don’t want it / Great sex, say less.” All told, MAX, with a little help from Duckwrth, shines on “Say Less” and just like he needs to say less, so do I. After all, this song is best experienced via listening, and the fun music video, as opposed to my written analysis .
