Groove Theory
Biography
Groove Theory is a duo consisting of former songwriter and session vocalist Amel Larrieux, a New York native, and former Mantronix rapper Bryce Wilson. When they met in 1991 through a mutual friend, both were dissatisfied with their musical careers: Larrieux's voice wasn't capable of the Whitney Houston/Mariah Carey vocal gymnastics expected of black female vocalists, and Wilson wanted a chance to put his unused production talents to work. The two each recognized in the other a chance to express themselves musically in ways they had been looking for, and Groove Theory was born. The group's music is calmer than most hip-hop, concerning itself with romance and sensuality. Their self-titled debut album appeared in 1995. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
Selected Discography
sonja, i agree there was something from groove theory music that made you feel as though you weren't "missing out" on the beats, vocals or the mood. I could clean the house cruise in the car and entertain women with this CD, "Groove Theory". My brother introduced me to their sound back in the day.

Miss Groove Theory so much. I was a college gal when this CD dropped and 13 yrs. later it still speaks to me. Amel's voice, Bryce's crazy beats...this album is a classic. Would've loved add'l albums although Amel has great solo albums and Bryce I suppose is still in the music industry.
We miss you Groove Theory!!!!!! |

Would have loved another Groove Theory album. They had great chemistry for making good music. Amel has done well as a solo artist, and her sound has remained consistent, but there's something about Groove Theory that I miss however.
