I love Amel's stuff, and IMO, Groove Theory was one of the few good things about pop music in the 90's.... " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

yeah...
she's so underrated... 
Well, many talented people are these days and other talentless people  are averywhere instead. 
Love Amel's collaborations with Glen Lewis "What's come over me" & "Where is the love" She's been very prolific and has lots of collaborations... I hope I someday gather all of them... BTW, Does anybody can help me with info about her non-album works??? Peace "America is a continent..." |

[Edited 12/13/04 13:55pm] Bryce was hosting "Weekend Vibe" VIBE magazine sydicated TV show. I don't know if he does anymore. He's a pretty good producer. Bryce produced En Vouge's "don't let Go" And personally I think the Groove theory material is better than Amel's solo efforts. Amel and Bryce had a good musical chemistry. Thank You San Alejo for getting rid of my enemies. :-0

Didn't Byrce & Amel have a falling out? And why every time I think of his name I want to call him "Byron"?  | |

Where have U guys ben? I've been talking about her since February trying to get people to go 2 her website ( http://www.blisslife.com/...rtists.php )
and lend support. Her album is along the lines of a Jill Scott. Vocally she is brilliant and musically she is more on the Erika Badu side. Real instruments, jazz, blues, some rock n roll. I don't understand why some major label (Bad Boy or even Motown) doesn't pick her up? I can only guess that she doesn't want 2 be with a major label because that can damage her artistic freedom. | |

Her Groove Theory stuff is fine,but it's not her own words and it was very basic R&B... Her own music in her own words is far deeper and covers far more types of music like jazz and neo soul. | |

It lists Bryce Wilson as the first writer of most of the songs, and Amel said most of the work was his vision not hers, that's one of the reasons she left to go solo! | |

In the Groove Theory liner notes turn to the page where there is Bryce' Black and white photo. Ok if first says All songs Arranged Compsed and produced by Bryce Wilson Then go down to the next paragraph and it says: All LYRICS by Amel Larrieux except "Time Flies' 'Good 2 Me' "Keep tryin" and Didja know Written by Amel Larruex and Laru Larrieux. 'Hello it's me' by Todd Rundgren. Thank You San Alejo for getting rid of my enemies. :-0

I guess Prince likes her, too. She guested at the first Paisley Celebration. Never trust anything spoken in the presence of an erection.

'Hello it's me' by Todd Rundgren. It doesn't matter what the liner notes says..... AMEL said it in her own words!!! Besides the lyrics are only half the job... You must have a musical direction when composing a song andBryce was most if not all the driving force in that regard. Her solo work is more an indication of her personal statement! | |

Alright, you fuckers have convinced me to at least go to ITunes or Amazon & hear some clips of her music. I've never been impressed w/ her - she seems like a younger, lazier Sade to me but I'll check her out. I ain't buyin' shit until I'm impressed    I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |
