Banner Reviewer
You might remember Amel
Larrieux from her Groove
Theory days with partner,
Bryce Wilson.
With the incredible blend of
Bryce’s stark sound scapes and
Amel’s ultra-romantic singing
style. Groove Theory became
one of R&B’s most prominent
groups in 1995.
Their signature single, ‘Tell
Me,” exemplified their unique
Groove Theory sound which set
them apart from their fellow
neo-soul counterparts such as
Maxwell, Erika Badu, and the
like. Now, Larrieux is “doing
her own thang” solo with her
Febmary release. Infinite
Possibilities.
And the possibilities are
indeed infinite, as the album
offers a wide range of up-
tempo grooves and mellow funk.
This hodgepodge of diverse
soul is a result of the production
genius of both Larrieux and her
husband.
The first track, “Get Up,” is
already blowing up radio charts
with itsjazzy organic feel In
this song, Larrieux sings of
Mmic Review
empowerment “Day to day/
they got you working like a
slave/ Taking credit for work
you gave/ And stealing your
raise/ I know you’re down/1 see
you down/ But when you
gonna get up?”
On tracks like “Shine” and
“I N I,” Larrieux conjures
soulfully conscious lyrics
bathed in a blues/funk soup.
On “Down” which contains
an undercover techno beat
laced with jazzy scats,
Larrieux exemplifies her
ability to transform the past
into the future. Collectively,
the album seeks and accom
plishes to merge consciousness
with the traditions of funk,
jazz, and hip-hop.
I suggest you put Infinite
Possibilities on your most
wanted list because she’s got a
message that can extend your
possibilities.
I give Infinite Possibilities
a rating of ****.
