Representing Austin, Texas, Multitalented Artist and Rapper CJ Maxwell Returns With a Mainstream-Level Single “Where This Goes” Featuring Jenks.

This is a journey that has been marked by constant evolution, growth and discovery. When CJ Maxwell was starting out, albeit in high school, he started as a rapper whose prowess with wordplay and distinct cadence won him plenty of admiration from everyone…and especially the beautiful ladies who were awe-inspired and equally fascinated by this young handsome man’s way with words. It was around the same time that Maxwell also started taking vocal lessons to nourish his vocal strengths while delving into pop singing in his twenties. This has been a relentlessly determined odyssey of trying different spaces and fitting in perfectly like a glove. He is an artist who does not believe that there is a cap to the creative realms one can inhabit, and as such, he strives to be the best he can while being as versatile as he possibly can.

He lives for those surprises—his loyal fans and new listeners not really sure of the kind of direction he will go—it is what makes it so worthwhile to look forward to his new releases because you really don’t know what you are getting this time. The only thing that you can be sure of is that it is going to be absolute fire. One thing about CJ Maxwell, he never misses when he gets in the booth…it is one of his many superpowers (it’d only be wise were he to be incorporated into one of those Marvel franchise movies, yk!)

Well, like expected, Maxwell’s latest single “Where This Goes” is a masterpiece and one that easily fits in any radio or mainstream playlist. This could be a top 40 for all I see as he and the equally gifted artist Jenks contribute to creating something beyond what good words can measure.

The guitar intro that sets the tone for the song is a thing of sonic beauty. The stringed tones serenade a listener’s ears as much as their spirits, providing an attractive backdrop for the smoothened, tenderly nourished, and distinctly flavored vocals of Maxwell as he breathes life and creates a memorable appeal immediately with the track’s unforgettable chorus.

The track then builds and stunningly exudes its wider appeal thanks to the luminous pop melodies that are added, heightening the impact, both sonically and emotionally, and in a way giving it this pop-rap-emo feel that feels so good to get immersed in. The striking guitar melodies continue haunting all through, their delectable feel painlessly penetrating to the deep echoes of a human feel.

The guest artist Jenks adds his magical touch to this alluringly beautiful tour de force, his memorable presence an ideal complement to an otherwise ear candy as this.

And so what’s “Where This Goes” all about? Someone might ask—well, this tune taps into a central truth about relationships: they require active participation from both people involved. Love has always been portrayed as a magical force that effortlessly makes life better. However, real, lasting love and relationships don’t thrive simply on feelings or romantic moments alone—they thrive on consistent actions, dedication, and commitment to growth.

With this sonic centerpiece, Maxwell captures the essence of a genuine and powerful experience with love, but only when you actively invest in it.

To simply put it, “Love” isn’t something that simply “works” on its own; it has to be nurtured, maintained, and valued.

A deeply relatable masterpiece that is radio-friendly with a top-tier production, and you know what? That dexterous execution leaves nothing to be desired and speaks volumes about the versatility and proficiency that drive Maxwell’s artistry.

You just have to listen to this jam to understand how captivating, sweet-sounding, and infectious it actually is.

Off you go.
