It's a live combination of inexperience, excitement, innocence, and a lot to say, you know being years and years of writing stuff, and watching things, and I grew up at the time that the was really popular, that really influenced me. I think I grew up in the hey day of, the best hip hop, the late 80's, early 90's, so I had a lot of stuff to inspire musically that was going on. And it was inspirational for me as a songwriter to be able to have all my own material that I was writing, as opposed to being in a group where some things are written for you.' —, 2009 interview with Nu-Soul Magazine Release and reception [ ] Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Stanton Swihart of considered the effort 'an exquisite, even innovative album.

Personnel [ ] Information taken from. 's debut effort is an exquisite, even innovative album. Not only did it (in retrospect) help to herald the progressive neo-soul movement, but its melding of decidedly hip-hop production techniques -- steady drum patterns, plentiful loops and samples (though mixed with live instrumentation), even a modicum of turntable scratching -- with the emotional impulses and themes of soul was still a novel approach to making R&B at the time. Just a year later, in fact, hit commercial and artistic pay dirt with her second album,, which plays precisely as if had heard and then used as its sonic blueprint, right down to the cool, prepossessing vocals, which are demure rather than ostentatious, unlike the flashy singers then-dominating the genre. But need not live in the shadow of any other record, since it has an abundance of its own virtues. Its main attribute may be that it introduced the world to, whose alluring vocal stylings enliven the proceedings considerably, giving them a certain laid-back radiance. Even without her in the mix, however, the musical valentines created by former rapper are so butter-slick and slide down so easily that the album would have been worth the time regardless. The delicious trip-pop singles 'Baby Luv' and 'Tell Me' are two of the most seductive, romantic songs of 1995, energetic enough to adapt to the dancefloor or win over the normally R&B-averse heads on the street, but also perfect mood music to play behind those sweet nothings during pillow time. And they aren't the only treasures tucked away on. Groove is not, in fact, merely a hypothesis but a reality throughout, particularly on expansive gems like the drive-time chill-out of 'Ride,' or 'Angel' and 'You're Not the 1,' which beautifully whisk through jazz-flavored atmospheres. Highly recommended to a wide range of music fans. Contents • • • • • • • • • • Early years [ ] The group formed in in 1993, when Amel Larrieux met Bryce Wilson while she was working at Rondor Music as a receptionist. Larrieux had been working at the music publishing company since the age of 18. A publisher at the company had signed Wilson as a producer, and knew he was interested in forming a group. He approached Larrieux, who he knew was a singer-songwriter, with one of Wilson's production tracks, saying 'look, you wanna try writing a song? You know I can give you one of the tracks, and you can do it, and if you don’t mind, you can demo it.” [ ] Wilson hoped to use the group as a chance to utilize his production talents, while Larrieux wanted a chance to shine in R&B. Wilson also found it useful for Larrieux to both write, sing, and arrange each song instead of shopping around for different singers and songwriters. Career [ ] Commercial success [ ] The group signed a with, and in 1995, they released their self-titled debut album.
