...similar neo-soul movement seems to be making a splash. The Haitian-American hip-hop group the Fugees scored a hit with its gritty remake of Roberta Flack's Killing Me Softly. The Brooklyn-based R.-and-B. duo Groove Theory, whose songs combine pure pop appeal with slightly avant-garde musical touches, received heavy airplay for its smash single Tell Me and has a new song, Keep Tryin', on the charts. Singer D'Angelo draws fans with music that adds a laid-back '90s twist to the sound of '70s soul. And a multi-act tour is being planned...

...hasn't changed a whole lot; this isn't their Sgt. Pepper's. But the lyrics are more enigmatic, and the songs have ebb and flow instead of the straight-ahead sonic attack that characterized Cracked Rear View. When I'm Lonely, the last song on Fairweather Johnson, is pure, classic pop--wistful, mature and well crafted. Rucker's voice has never sounded better...
