Ebony, Feb, 2004
AMEL LARRIEUX'S dynamic second recording, BRAVEBIRD (Blisslife), blends rhythm & blues, soul, hip-hop, jazz and folk music. With a beautiful voice and thoughtful lyrics, the former singer and co-writer for the duo Groove Theory delivers a soothing, captivating set. The infectious "For Real" has ethereal high-octave vocals that bring to mind Minnie Riperton.
Acoustic guitars flavor a pop groove on "New," On the title song, Amel addresses the horror of female circumcision, while "Dear to Me" has a folksy feel.
