|1) Allure is a pseudonym used by Tiesto, or Tijs Verwest. He made several singles as Allure which include “No More Tears”, “Rejected”, “The Loves We Lost”, “When She Left”, and “We Ran At Dawn”. Most of them can be found on his compilations and all received major airplay by the top DJ’s. Especially the track “The Loves We Lost” has achieved anthem status since it was released in 2006 and is famous for its mellow melodic sound and fading vocals. 2) Allure was a short-lived emo band in the mid 1990s, similar to bands such as Indian Summer. Their only official release was the song Little Engine, which appeared on the Eucalyptus 2 x 7” Compilation (Tree Records, 1996). They also released a demo cassette entitled “Arms Can’t Move… Legs Can’t Bend” with 7 Untitled songs. 3) Allure is a New York-based female rnb quartet that formed in the early 1990s. The group consisted of members Linnie Belcher, Alia Davis, Akissa Mendez, and Lalisha McLean. They were the first group to be signed to Mariah Carey’s Crave Records. They released their debut self-titled album in 1997. The album featured the gold-selling single “Head Over Heels” (featuring Nas), “No Question” (featuring LL Cool J), “Last Chance”, and 1998’s platinum-selling “All Cried Out” (featuring 112), a cover of the Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam hit, which is their biggest hit to date. 4) Allure is a young Parisian artist coming from the Electro-pop scene. His music reflects a rich course. Allure has already explored numerous styles (classical formation, jazz, hip-hop…) but since 2007, he finds through electronic music the energy and the creativity he needs. Musician and composer at once, he uses a vibraphone together with machines to dress his compositions with fancy and charming sonorities. He is a master in the art of contrasts; his works are at once smooth but sharp, elegant and lively, subtle but opened. An approach he follows for the creation of his first album. He is also working on a LiveSet performance planned for Spring 2009. |
