People don’t realize that Bryce was also a member of the classic group Mantronik. So he came to the table with a lot of history before Groove Theory. His stuff has always been on point.

A definite power struggle!. Yes, that was a great chess move pairing with Toni Braxton in the “You Making Me High” video. That song slaps!. More exposure, more relevance, more business. Cause Amel’s solo career was moderate, but it also appeared to me like she wanted to just put out her music, instead of making hits. But Bryce was good for business!. Nice work 👍🏾

I was always wondering why Bryce Wilson and Amel Larrieux never released a second album. And I thought they had the potential to put up Fugees numbers after their debut album. The talent was there. Production, writing and delivery was flawless. Groove Theory was a great group.

There was a sweet spot in 95 that another jam from them would have certainly put them up there because it was wide open for new music. Pity about the group. Amel did cool with her releases. I saw her in ATL once, she alright.

They needed a good mgr someone else to "reel them in". They didn't know each other well enough for the "love aspect" even in business however they needed someone to help them "use their head" so to speak. Moreso her than him bcuz he already had experience from his former group so he understood "some things". She was the new kid on the block (to the music biz) and she definitely needed someone to help her make smart business decisions. It sounds like they taught her unbeknownst to her how to be a snake & it backfired on her (for the long-term).

[@mrbdx]

It sounds like “somebody” was in her ear telling her things to “look out for” in the industry. They may have had good intentions by doing it but what transpired was this….she got the knowledge but she didn’t have the WISDOM to understand when or how to apply it. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@MrJbee73]

[@garfieldharrison510]

Amel unfortunately made a mistake that most people do in this business sometimes. Learning how to play your role. When I heard that album. I was playing it all the time. I thought they were going to blow up even more. But, now hearing this. I understand why. As an artist myself. I was in groups. It's not easy.The dynamics of a group iis knowing how to play your your role. She came in working with Bryce. If she stayed in her role it would've been incredible. But,that song Tell Me will be RnB 90's classic till the end of the time

[@BeyBrightOfficial]

I have the same problem as an independent songwriter and producer with artists that I cherry pick with real talent but don’t have the ability to arrange and produce songs for themselves properly. With my music and vision, we top all of the indie soul music charts in the UK and around the world. But because they’re the lead vocalist, they become egotistical and disrespectful of my overall contribution to the music and marketing of the music. No matter how much tangible success we have collectively, they feel entitled to more and move forward with other projects without my input. Just like Amel without Bryce, it doesn’t resonate the same with the public! I absolutely loved Groove Theory together and really didn’t like Amel’s solo music. It lacks soul and urban appeal. Very unfortunate how many artists self sabotage themselves. 🙉

[@sallyhemings2295]

I don’t know about the UK market but when Amel tours in the D.C. area her concerts sell out! smaller venues but packed houses.

She had a single called You Will Rise. Her debut was not bad. I can't find her video Get Up that used to be on BET. I like her song Sweet Misery & her song she came out with years later called For Real. I love her voice.

Amel Larrieux said a long time a go, she left Groove Theory because she wanted to make her own music. She specifically said the sound and style of music on the album wasn't what she was into. And if you listen to all of her solo music, he sounds nothing like Groove Theory, because that wasn't the type of music she wanted to make. She dropped 5 solo albums and 6 EP's. She wasn't bitter. What Bryce does and what Amel does are two different things. Bryce is a writer and producer. Amel is a singer. I don't even know what he's even talking about her.

[@marjorybruno]

My first experience seeing Amel perform live was at her debut album concert in NYC. I was disappointed because she sang through all the songs with her eyes closed and only came alive at the end of the concert when she sang Groove Theory songs. But nothing could escape that unique voice, captivating songwriting, and incredible new music. I was hooked and shortly after that, watched her flourish, spread her wings and become the incredible artist that she was always meant to be. “Groove Theory” restrained her. Imagine if more of these pop stars turned away from just trying to make hits and focused on making authentic music. Bravebird for life!

[@juliemcdaniel499]

I don't know how giving somebody 50% of everything from the time they started is considered "difficult to work with". He was decent to her from the door. She had talent but she also had people "in her ear" which is a sure fire recipe for disaster esp if someone is naive or if they're stuck up which she very well could've been as well. She had a GREAT THING not just a good thing and didn't know it to fully appreciate it or got full of herself that fast bcuz wow she blew it js.

He's still a cutie, lol. she went on to do her thing, her way and he does his thing. it worked our for them, we just didn't get that 2nd album we longed for. she got a great deal, ppl didn't get what she received as far as percentages. it's over 20 years ago, life goes on. thanks for the 1 album.

I'd heard that her husband was really controlling and caused a lot of problems. Not sure the merit of that, but it would be interesting to hear her side, especially since he says things like "somebody" told her the songwriter was more important than the producer. Putting the two together, it kinda makes me go "hmmm".

What I heard… was she wanted Curtis Martin and he was unavailable- and they went with Bryce (still gorgeous)

Wayment...if youre not on the road performing, I'm not sending nothing back to you. You don't show up for the shows, you dont get paid.

Groove Theory was one of my favorite groups.

“Didja know, I would go, aaand with you roll caz with you it’s whole, didja know it, didja knooow it” This album is one of my absolute comforts. It played out how it played out, but as long as both of them have been successful in their own endeavors and not being petty years later, it’s all good. Dynamics change sometimes.

Didja know I would go Anywhere you roll Cause with you it's hone Didja know it? Didja know it? Does it show ? When I'm low When you ask me to smile And I do so Didja know it? Didja know it?
