The a cappella, pop, and hip hop outfit, whose R&B harmony vocals were offset by mild rap interjections and a post-New Kids On The Block street dance image, were discovered by Kool & The Gang's Robert Bell in 1990.
The group enjoyed 5 U.S. hit singles from their debut album C.M.B. throughout 1991 and 1992. These were "I Wanna Sex You Up" (U.S.#2), "I Adore Mi Amor" (U.S.#1), "All 4 Love" (U.S.#1), "Thinkin Back" (U.S.#16) and "Slow Motion" (U.S.#18). "I Wanna Sex You Up" was also on the New Jack City soundtrack, and hit number 1 on the UK Singles Charts.
Their debut album, C.M.B. was released in September 1991, eventually selling over 6 million copies worldwide, and being certified 3x platinum in the United States by the RIAA.
Color Me Badd performed at the 1991 Smash Hits Poll Winners Awards in the UK, winning the Best New Group trophy. In January 1992, they were awarded the Favourite Single, Soul/R&B trophy at the 19th annual American Music Awards, held at the Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles. March 1992 also saw Color Me Badd win the Best R&B / Soul Single, and Song Of The Year, categories at the sixth annual Soul Train Music Awards.
The group released a remix album in October 1992, titled Young, Gifted and Badd. It contained the hit single "Forever Love" (U.S.#15), which was also featured on the Mo' Money soundtrack. However, the album peaked at U.S.#189, which was the first hint of the bubble bursting.
The group's third album Time & Chance was released in November 1993. A hugely ambitious project, consisting of nineteen new tracks, this album represented a slight shift in musical style for Color Me Badd. Working with top producers including David Foster, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, a more soulful and funky sound had clearly emerged.
Although some critics gave it positive reviews, the album did not fare well on the Billboard Album Charts, eventually peaking at #56. With the music industry at the time embracing groups such as Nirvana, Guns N' Roses and Pearl Jam, it was difficult for Color Me Badd to deliver the same success on the singles charts as they had done before.
The album's title track "Time & Chance" peaked at U.S.#23, while its follow-up "Choose" also topped out at U.S.#23.
The group re-emerged in 1996 with their fourth album called Now and Forever. However, once again, sales were well below those expected from the group at around 4,000 sales in the U.S. alone. The album produced one major hit single, "The Earth, The Sun, The Rain," which peaked at U.S. #21.
After moving to Epic Records, Color Me Badd's fifth album, Awakening, was released in July 1998. Remaining true to their R&B roots, they again received critical acclaim for their vocal harmonies. "Remember When" achieved minor success on radio and has a companion video shot as well.
The original members of Color Me Badd officially disbanded in November 1998, culminating in the release of their best of set,The Best of Color Me Badd.
In 2011, they reformed as a trio, sans Sam Watters, who is now a successful songwriter and producer.

The song "I Adore Mi Amor" by Color Me Badd is a heartwarming ode to a loved one. The lyrics describe the love that the singer has for his partner and how he can never imagine leaving her. Throughout the song, the singer assures his partner that she is the only one for him and he could never find anyone better. The phrase "I adore mi amor" (which translates to "I adore my love" in English) is repeated multiple times to emphasize the depth of the singer's affection.
The chorus of the song, "Dream on, dream away / I think I'm gonna have to stay / Stay forever / I adore mi amor," highlights the singer's desire to stay with his partner forever. The use of the phrase "dream on, dream away" suggests that the singer is fully committed to his partner and will not leave her. The last verse of the song is particularly touching, as the singer proclaims his love and devotion in Spanish: "Ooh mi amor es por ti que yo vivo y por ti suspiro / No solo hoy, solo hoy si no siempre / Tu estrella brilla siempre en mí / Y este sueño contigo será realidad / Te quiero mucho baby / Te quiero mucho, mi amor" (which translates to "Oh my love, it is for you that I live and for you that I sigh / Not just today, but always / Your star always shines in me / And this dream with you will come true / I love you so much baby / I love you so much, my love"). This final verse encapsulates the beauty and depth of the singer's love for his partner.

Since we are literally the same age I can say for certain this wasn't a song of your teens. We were both 10-11 when this banger dropped

The male version of En Vogue. Incredible harmonizing, with every member holding their own vocals. Too bad these guys didn't any further than they did. An amazing group from an amazing decade.
