Why they might be annoying:

    The group is often mistaken as a solo act.
    Ms. Adu is the only band member featured in videos and album covers, not helping matters.
    There were years-long stretches between album releases.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Their sound can be described as elegant and sexy.
    To make more music between recording respites, Hale, Denman and Matthewman created splinter group Sweetback in 1996.
    Stuart Matthewman produced albums for Maxwell.
    The group's lush, jazzy tunes garnered numerous Grammy Awards, including the 1986 trophy for Best New Artist.
