Almost Famous...Amel Larrieux

[playahaitian]

* Love this woman!!! Many thought Groove Theory would be the next big group. Funny thing is I remember that one of the criticisms of the group's music is that their "grooves" were so outstanding that they needed a rapper on them (this was the beginning of the death of real R&B and the rise of a rapper on every track/remix) She has had a VERY solid solo career but I think many hoped she would be the next Sade...but she is still a wonderful voice in her own right.

Oh hell yeah man!!! My favorite soul sista. She has some of the smoothest songs I have ever heard. I love this bright and intellectual sista. For Real ranks a one of my favorite songs of all times along with this new joint. That is a funny pic of her and Questlove from the prom.

i miss her.

I know Bryce. My ex was supposed to be the original singer in the group but they had a falling out. Bryce is a rapper. He and my ex were in the group, Mantronix. She sang on the 2 'hits' they had back in the early 90's. But I think it worked out better for him with Amel. Amel was fine as hell too.

 

[Entrepronegro]

Love her

 

[Entrepronegro]

She need to be on Unsung

 

[ShortyCumStain]

Smooth ass voice.

 

[yureeka9]

She need to be on Unsung

[sharkbait28]

[TheFuser]

Her and Questlove at Prom

Her and Questlove at Prom

 

[TheFuser]

She's from NY, but went to HS in Philly. She went to CAPA. Same school that The Roots, Bilal, Boyz II Men, Jazmine Sullivan etc went to.

 

[KingAddies]

"For Real" "All I have" and "Congo" are my favorites from her. I love the whole album but I never make it through because those songs are on repeat.

 

[Problematic]

She was the prototype for me for a good 10 years

 

[daking181]

Keep Trying is one of my all time favorite songs

 

[Last Dayz]

One of my favorite artists and ''I N I'' is one of my favorite joints.

 

[TheFuser]

Bravebird and Infinite Possibilities are flawless albums. Her voice is dope as fuck. And she fine as hell.
