About this Artist
Editorial Reviews
For those who were fed up with the generic, formulaic nature of the material dominating the urban-contemporary market in 1991, Innocence's heartfelt Belief was a breath of fresh air. While a Soul II Soul-ish ambiance is evident on this sleek, atmospheric recording, Innocence definitely projects an identity of their own. What's especially unusual about Innocence is that the group essentially avoids both ballads and high-speed workouts -- choosing to maintain a comfortable, relaxed, medium tempo on both acid jazz-influenced instrumentals and haunting vocal numbers featuring the subtle yet expressive vocalist Anna Jolley. Belief's greatest triumph is a remake of the Doors' "Riders on the Storm," although "Remember the Day" and "Silent Voice" shouldn't be overlooked. The uplifting "peace/love/unity" vibe that's common in a lot of house music defines engaging songs like "Come Together" and "Higher Ground," but Innocence is never as energetic or hyper as a typical house artist. Unfortunately, Belief was only an underground hit. Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
