The Maxx Is Back is the fifth studio album by Klymaxx, released in 1990 (see 1990 in music), by which time the group only consisted of three original members, Lorena Porter Shelby (lead vocals), Cheryl Cooley (guitar) and Robbin Grider (keyboards). Bernadette Cooper (vocals/drums), Lynn Malsby (keyboards) and Joyce "Fenderella" Irby (bass guitar/vocals) were not involved in the project.
The first single, "Good Love", was successful in the United States among R&B fans, reaching number four on the R&B chart. The second and final single, "Private Party", was a moderate hit, peaking at number 62 on the R&B chart.
The album reached number 168 on the Billboard 200 and number 32 on the R&B Albums chart. The album has sold approximately 166,000 copies in the U.S'.
Klymaxx made a bid to re-establish themselves in 1990 with a revised lineup and revamped sound. Now it was essentially a classic women's singing trio, with Loreana Porter's voice clearly the strongest, and Robbin Grider and Cheryl Cooper harmonizing around her and at times doing leads. They did more conventional urban contemporary material like "Good Love" and "Don't Run Away" and had almost eliminated the rock/funk and dance/pop trappings. It didn't work, at least from a commercial standpoint, but it was a good try.
