It's not often that you can play an album for years and be just as refreshed or inspired as when you first heard it. Groove Theory's self titled album does just that. To say it's 'different from other R&B titles wouldn't do it any justice. R&B today has become littered with uninspired, soulless efforts. It seems like each song is really the same but with a sampled beat to make 'appeal' to the listener or maybe people are taking being a thug or independent too far. How about keeping it real and feeling something real. When I hear Amel voice it's like something that I've been longing for in R&B for years. She sings songs of inspiration-Baby Love, caring for someone for real-Come Home, Boy In the Window and 10 Minute High and being strong without being so hard that you can't allow yourself to care for another-You're Not The 1 and Did You Know. Props defintely to producer Bryce Wilson who turned out a rare upbeat and uplifting album. I play this album to this day and hope that in the future I can find other titles like this that inspire me to press on for something better in this everyday struggle know as life.

You can play this cd when you are riding in you car with the top down on a sunny day. You can relate to at least one song on the album.

When looking for R&B that stays real to it's roots, check out Groove Theory, one of the most popular and gifted R&B groups to come out of the 90's. With the help of the production of Bryce Wilson (former rapper of Mantronix) and the beautiful vocals of Amel Larrieux (who went on to release two solo albums which are truly gorgeous) you receive some real soul music here that touches on a lot of jazz, classic R&B, latin, and hip-hop beats. This is one album that remains ahead of it's time and yet true to it's roots. One of the most beautiful R&B/soul albums, not only out of the 90's, but throughout history.

Groove Theory's debut album is a must have for any music lover. I don't really buy too much R&B but this is a gem. This album is real music not just an attempt to get somebody to pay your bills or any other nonsense. You can feel Amil's voice and she definitely sings from the heart. Bryce works the boards, very hot beats. Do yourself a favor and buy this album.

Groove Theory'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, Aaliyah hit commercial and artistic pay dirt with her second album, One in a Million, which plays precisely as if Timbaland had heard and then used Groove Theory as its sonic blueprint, right down to ...
