Deee-Lite World Clique Vinyl Record LP Album
$47.49
Its reputation may rest on only one hit single - but what a hit. ''Groove Is in the Heart'' defined the summer of 1990 on radio and MTV with its delicious combination of funk, modern dance sheen, and Lady Miss Kier's smart, sharp diva ways. Add in guest vocals and bass from Bootsy Collins (a pity his hilarious video cameo wasn't represented here), brass from the original Horny Horns duo of Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker, and a smooth mid-song rap from A Tribe Called Quest's Q-Tip, and the results sounded good then and now. The rest of World Clique offers variations on the song's theme, with Kier's sweet, light vocals and DJs Dimitri and Towa Tei making it work in various ways. It's still a bit surprising that Kier didn't go on to greater fame on her own, because she definitely has not merely the pipes but the personality to carry something on her own - compared to the dog-whistle vocal calisthenics of someone like Mariah Carey, there's no contest. Check out her work on songs like ''Good Beat'' and the amusing sass of such numbers as ''Try Me on, I'm Very You.'' Deee-Lite store / shop.

"Sometimes a single is released that reaches such dizzying heights of success that it becomes a pinnacle of the decade they're indelibly tied to. ""Groove Is In The Heart"" by dance-house trio Deee-Lite is one such single. The infectiously quirky, and eminently danceable track is prominently based around samples of ""Bring Down The Birds"" by Herbie Hancock, and ""Get Up"" by Vernon Burch, among many others, (Courtesy of dual producers DJs Dmitry and Towa Tei) paired with top-tier guest contributions from JB's veterans Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley, background vocals from Parliament-Funkadelic's own Bootsy Collins, and even a guest rap from Q-Tip, not to mention front woman Lady Miss Kier's own siren-like vocals. All disparate and disconnected elements, but ones that would come together to form dancehall greatness, and chart-topping success worldwide for Deee-Lite. ""Groove Is In The Heart"" managed to reach #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart but excelled at its best on the Hot Dance Club Play chart, where it reached the #1 spot. On top of its success in America, it was a smash internationally, climbing the heights of the charts in the UK, Canada, Australia, and a variety of other countries. It remained in heavy rotation for much of 1990 on MTV as well. As the decades went on, ""Groove Is In The Heart"" would be ranked among the greatest dance tracks of all time, as well as one of the greatest songs of the 1990s by VH1, Pitchfork, Buzzfeed, and many more. ""Groove Is In The Heart"" was a potent single for Deee-Lite to lead with, but the album bearing it was nothing to slouch at either. The group's debut record, 1990's World Clique was released to major commercial and critical success, owing just as much to its addictive hybrid of seductive retro aesthetics, modern dancefloor flair, and esoteric, socially conscious messaging, on the back of celebratory club staples like ""Power Of Love"", ""Good Beat"", ""E.S.P Deee-Lite store / shop."
Deee-Lite LP - Infinity Within (Vinyl)
$63.73
Deee-Lite - Infinity Within For their second album, 'Infinity Within', Deee-Lite opted to venture in a different direction of sorts. The club-embracing disco-funk sounds and groovy vibes of 'World Clique' were everpresent, but while that record contained themes of global togetherness, 'Infinity Within' took a more socially aware route, with politically charged themes of environmentalism.
