about
There are multiple artists with this name: a female R&B quartet, a pseudonym used by Tiësto, a short-lived emo band and a Parisian artist. 1) 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. 2) Allure is a pseudonym used by Tiësto, 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. 3) Allure was a short-lived emo band from San Jose, California active 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"
