Amel Larrieux was raised in the West Village. Her parents were educators and their group of eclectic and artsy friends inspired young Amel in her youth. The music on her debut album can best be described as pop/soul hip-hop, but not hip-hop in the sense of commercial, Lauryn Hill-esque junk. Amel sounds hip, warm and soulful. Her jams are like a female D’Angelo.

Ms. Larrieux’s vocal range and sexy style is tested on "Sweet Misery," where she smoothes out buttery vocals over a groove funky enough for a Barry White record. "Ini" is possibly the best single on the record. It is impossible to keep yourself from getting into this one. Amel gets downright jazzy on the second chorus of this track for a fantastic vocal effect.

"Infinite Possibilities" is an apt way to describe this record. This CD makes the perfect soundtrack for a sexy candlelight dinner and/or drinks over at the pad. It is also perfect for a late-night, down-tempo jam. Amel Larrieux is an exciting new artist and ‘Infinite Possibilities’ is a record so good it will remind you why you invested so much money on your music system.
