Maxi (released as Maxi Priest in the United States and Canada) is the third studio album by English reggae vocalist Maxi Priest, released in 1987. It contains the singles "Some Guys Have All the Luck", "How Can We Ease the Pain?", "Wild World" and "Goodbye to Love Again".
Reception[edit]
Spin wrote, "Maxi shows that when left lonely by a lover, he's not too macho to shed a tear about it. He captures love's joys just as convincingly. Maxi is the sweet fruit from a branch of reggae that’s breaking barriers to top the Pops.[4]
