Groove Theory is an American R&B duo, with former member, singer-songwriter Amel Larrieux and songwriter/producer/actor, Bryce Wilson. The group is best known for their 1995 gold-single selling pop/R&B hit, "Tell Me", which reached the top five of Billboard 's Hot 100 and the US Billboard R&B chart.
Two other singles included "Baby Luv" and my personal fave "Keep Trying", which reached numbers 18 and 36. Their album was certified gold. The duo were in demand touring and guesting on various projects as well as Larrieux guesting on a project called 'Sweetback' which used Sade band members who released a CD featuring the single 'You Will Rise'.
Groove Theory parted ways in 1999, Wilson recorded with another singer named Makeda Davis and signed with Columbia in 2000 and begun working on a followup to their debut album entitled 'The Answer' which was never released
Wilson wasn't happy with the shift over at Columbia and asked to be released from his contract. Fast forward to 2010 Wilson and Larrieux reunited for spot tour dates as Groove Theory and went back into the studio to record. In the meantime Amel Larrieux continues to release solo projects, and has a cult following, while Bryce Wilson started his own label, and continues to be a sought out Producer and Actor(Beauty Shop,Trois,Hairshow).
