Beyond "Groove is in the Heart.", October 9, 2002
Reviewer: Addicted to the Groove (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)
I'm probably one of the twelve Americans who bothered to keep listening to Deee-lite after they headed to one-hit-wonder-land with the release of their global smash "Groove is in the Heart." Mainstream folks may not have known it, but they suffered a loss when they shunned "Dewdrops in the Garden." A step forward from their debut "World Clique" and a departure from the PC-isms of "Infinity Within," Dee-lite's third album is loaded with quirky dance pop that jams a little harder this time around. The trio teams up with DJ Little Louie Vega for the housed-up ditty "Bittersweet Loving," which has never-better vocals from Lady Miss Kier. "Call Me" aggressively palpitates with energy with its deep bass and thumping beats, and they give you a little mid-tempo flava on the sensual "Stay in Bed, Forget the Rest." Granted, this album isn't for mainstream audiences, and while the material sounds appropriate for the clubs, "Dewdrops in the Garden" may be too edgy radio play. But if you want a platter of groovilicious tunes with teeth sharp enough to bite, this joint is worth checking out.

Deee-Changes Are In The Groove, October 7, 2000
Reviewer: Richard A. Shidler "electronicaveronica" (USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
This is Deee-Lite's last album of new material before they broke up. It sure was nice of them to leave us with a legacy, wasn't it? "Dewdrops" is a radical step away from the message mission that was put on "Infinity Within." This album is more sexy and self-assured, and Kier's voice is as sexy as ever.

It starts off with the hip-hop dance of "Say Ahhh..." a classic in Deee-circles. It's really funky and brilliant. Next, Lady Kier tells that we can move, groove, and "mind melt." "Bittersweet Loving," "River of Freedom," "Somebody," & "When You Told Me You Loved Me," are really funky house-numbers that segue-way nicely into one another, but there's nothing too outstanding about them.

"Stay In Bed, Forget The Rest" is in the same vein as "Say Ahhh..." - very sexy and dancey, another Deee-song for the books. "Call Me" is not a cover of the classic Blondie song, sadly, but the Deee-sters have made their own sassy number with Kier blowing off a loser who hasn't called her, and whose line is always busy. "Why don't you get call-waiting or something?" Kier asks.

The rest of the disc is just pure ecstasy. It's trippy, fun and light-hearted. You may remember "Music Selector Is The Soul Reflector" from the movie "Party Girl" starring Parker Posey. In her hallucinating scene, that's the song! "Sampladelic" is a short little hot number, and "Bring Me Your Love" is a fierce dance hit for all to enjoy.

"Picnic In the Summertime" is a fresh a vibrant song for a day out with your friends and "Apple Juice Kissing" is another safe-sexy song that will make you melt. "Party Happening People" is a cool dub-style track the makes everybody move their feet, and is "DMT".

"What Is This Music" is a poem by Lady Kier that closes out the Deee-adventure, or so we think! Fast forward your CD and you'll hear one interlude that says:

"Dafodille yellow comes into promincense in a florescent fashion It may sound humorous, but it's important and it helps."

Forward some more, and there's a very hot instrumental song that takes your breath away.

And still...fast forward some more! And there is a FAB remix of "Bring Me Your Love."

So if you're a Deee-Lite fan, and don't have this, you are sorely missing out, as this could be their best work together! Plus, all the fab secret tracks on the end make for a cool treat! Don't miss it!… (mais)

This debut is Deee-Lite's most consistent record, and subsequently their best. By freebasing the previous three decades of pop culture, World Clique is a rush of beats, hooks, and fashion sensibilities. "Groove Is in the Heart" brings one of the best and funkiest bass lines ever to the dance floor. Lady Miss Kier establishes herself as a stylist--both vocally and visually--capable of casting some serious shade. World Clique manages a seamless merger of house beats, a trippy '60s vibe, and an over-the-top '70s funkified sound, thanks in part to DJ Towa Tei. "Good Beat" serves up what its title promises, while "Power of Love" goes one better by adding one of the strongest melodies of the band's career. By punctuating their songs with quirky bleeps and rhythmic kitsch, Deee-Lite predicted the DJ-dominated craze that would spin the latter part of the '90s into a tizzy. --Steve Gdula

My Shameless Confession, May 22, 2002
Reviewer: Tom (Palatine, IL USA) - See all my reviews
I love the song "Groove is in the Heart."

I love the video, I love the song...what can I say? Is it good? I dunno...but it's got a grabby hook and I can't turn it off.

Besides, how cool is any video with a Bootsie cameo? So, I can wax poetic all day about the depth and breadth of the Stones' song writing...but when it call comes down to what really matters, music should be fun, right?

This very silly album is a lot of fun.

It's no Beggar's Banquet...but I digress.

Deee-Debut Is Tight!, October 7, 2000
Reviewer: Richard A. Shidler "electronicaveronica" (USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
Deee-Lite's intro to the pop and dance music scene is tight. This is a classic among many people, and for good reason.

The album opens with the "Deee-Lite Theme" which is a funky and entertianing tribute to New York. "Good Beat," & "Power of Love," are some fun songs about dancing and loving, what Deee- was all about.

"Smile On" and "Try Me On..." are very cool pop tunes that put a smile on any listener's face and are uplifintg.

"What Is Love" is kind of dubby - but it's trancey and hyptnotic. Lady Kier's sexy French accent in the middle is very cute and classic for fans.

"World Clique" The title-track of the album is a positive tune trying to bring the world together as one, it's also very inspiring.

"E.S.P." may be one of their best songs. It's very trancey and mystifying, and there's, of course, an ode to their home town of NYC in it!

"Groove Is In The Heart" - what can I say that hasn't already been said, I ask?

"Who Was That?" is a cute and fun song about someone sneaking into Kier's house, and among other things, eating her peanut butter! It's really groovy and whacky.

"Build The Bridge" & "Deep-Ending" are sort of the down point. The music is a little darker and the production isn't as good, but they are still very Deee, if you know what I mean. ;)

In the end, Deee's debut is a classic and no one should be without it. It will make you feel good when you're feeling bad, and put a smile on your face, and nothing's better than that!… (mais)
