Color Me Badd is an American R&B group that was formed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in 1987. The group's original members included Bryan Abrams, Mark Calderon, Sam Watters, and Kevin Thornton. They skyrocketed to fame in the early 1990s with their debut album "C.M.B.," which was released in 1991 and became a significant success. The album featured hit singles that became synonymous with the early '90s R&B sound, including "I Wanna Sex You Up," "All 4 Love," and "I Adore Mi Amor." These tracks not only dominated the charts but also helped define a generation's musical tastes, blending smooth harmonies with catchy hooks.

Color Me Badd's music combined elements of R&B, soul, hip hop, and funk, a blend that was particularly appealing to both pop and R&B audiences. Over the years, they have shown remarkable adaptability, as evidenced by their releases of re-recorded and remastered versions of their biggest hits, such as sped-up versions of "I Wanna Sex You Up" and "All 4 Love." Despite changes in the music industry and shifts in musical tastes, Color Me Badd has managed to remain relevant by revisiting and reimagining their classic hits for new audiences. Their influence on the R&B genre and the broader music landscape of the '90s is undeniable, and their legacy is preserved through both their original and updated works.
