I thought I disliked hip hop, I guess not.

Amel is performing at B. B. King's on April 30th in New York City. Please come! I am not to sure if I can go but go!! I saw her at the Blue Note in August 2008. I think I have seen Amel now about 5 times. She amazes me every time I see her. http://www.bbkingblues.com/...

Like you, I am excited for her next project. "Glitches" is my ultimate jam by her and I have never heard her perform it live. Maybe she needs to collaborate with the Roots on an entire album so they can tour together? That would be fly.

If Amel did more duets I would love to hear one with Maxwell! Also, I would love for her to consider doing a duet with the opera singer Jessye Norman. Another person who I would love to hear her sing with is Luna Sans of E.S. Posthumus. Luna's voice reminds me of Amel's voice. I would love for the two of them to do a collaboration with E.S. Posthumus. My ultimate dream would be for her to do a duet with Prince and also one with Michael Jackson. I could go on and on who I would love for her to sing with but she can sing with any artist and bring another dimension to that artist's work.

On a side note, I would love for Stuart Cottonbelly Matthewman to produce an entire album for her. See here: http://www.cottonbelly.com He is the producer who works with Sade and he worked with maxwell and amel larrieux in the past on his first studio album, Sweetback. Ahh.

Thank you for sharing with me, Nirav. You honestly made my year with seeing your review. : D

Awww....thanks so much. I love Amel and would do anything to support her. If Obnoxious LIsteners starts putting on events, she'll be on the top of my list for performers. She's just amazing.

I look forward to hearing what she's up to next. I would absolutely love if she started collaborating with hip hop artists again. Glitches (w/ The Roots) is such a great track and I think Amel can blow away the other r&b singers out there right now. Who would you see her singing along with, if she went that path?

I agree with everything that you have said in your review, Nirav!! Her voice is amazing. I am always in awe when she hits her high notes LIVE. Seeing her LIVE is a must for anyone. She's my favorite singer!!! That's why I appreciate in an interview where she was asked what kind of music does she sing and she said, "Amel's music." I agree!! Thank you for considering to review her music here! You made me have the biggest cheese smile knowing you appreciate her music too!

Hah - do def agree! If you ever have the chance to see her live, it will be one of the best shows you'll see in your lifetime. She does an amazing job live.

Ever since I heard 'Get Up' on Infinite Possibilities, I have been madly in love with her. I understand your crush factor. It's gotta be the music, man. I share the same feeling bout Sade, Jill Scott as well.
