Songwriter-vocalist Amel Larrieux's style is as multihued as the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York in which she was raised. Knocking around in the mix are the elasticity and heartbreak of Billie Holiday's jazz, the deep soul of post-Motown R&B circa the Isley Brothers, the defiance of country rockers like Bonnie Raitt, and the modern urban-pop know-how of Alicia Keys. Amel first garnered attention as the singing half of critically acclaimed jazz-tinged R&B duo Groove Theory, and the music continues that line on much of her second album, BRAVEBIRD, particularly on funky message-songs such as "Giving Something Up" and the African-scat/hip-hop hybrid "Congo."

Throughout the satisfying album, she uses her immense talents to their utmost over an assortment of sultry tunes, each born out of the love between herself and her husband and co-writer, Laru. This bond lends an aura of impenetrable sincerity to compositions like "We Can Be New" with its images of trees intertwining. The most blissfully naked moment is "Sacred," where over a gradually more insistent acoustic guitar, she channels Janis Ian, languorously musing about the world, concluding, "maybe there never was [anything sacred] at all" with perfect understatement--a sweet, simple, honest notion that exemplifies a softly powerful record.

2004 sophomore album for the former vocalist of Groove Theory. Rolling Stones says Bravebird is '..one of the most off-the-hook new soul albums in years.' 12 tracks. Bliss Life Records.

Producers: Laru Larrieux, Threadhead, Basho Ink, Amel Larrieux.

Audio Mixers: Eric "Ebo" Butler; Andy Schlesinger; Laru Larrieux.

Rolling Stone (2/5/04, pp.56-7) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "[L]arrieux brings together the grit of the Roots and the elegance of Sade....[O]ne of the most off-the-hook new soul albums in years."

4 stars don't sleep on Amel!
Ever since groove theory, i've been stuck on her. Her sweet, honey vocals soar over her complex melodies and music. It's too bad the radio companies aren't willing to take a risk and showcase her talents because the rest of the world is missing out! This CD was great. It's different, and unique, and the songs MEAN something. (which i find is lacking in many artists today)

Child is fantastic! Not only that she's positive and spiritual, but she got talents. Even her nine year-old daughter Sky is the drummer throught out the whole album! I'm telling you, if you want to listen to real music, get the CD.

I've been waiting for this album for 5 years, ever since I heard a demo for "Bravebird", the title track. 5 years later, it's the freshest song on the disc. On the rest of the disc, Amel is her moody, introspective self, which is not a bad thing... It'll be nice to see her stretch a bit more, though. Nice music, away from the mainstream.
