In 2002, they appeared in the Tom Jones' ''Mr. Jones'' album, in the song "The Letter". The album was produced by Wyclef Jean, Jerry 'Wonder' Duplessis and Jones himself. Late 2004 saw the release of their third album, ''Chapter III'', in reference to their lineup change and being their third album. It went unnoticed by the general public, although it did receive considerable press due to Ron Artest's suspension from the NBA that year. Two singles were released as well, 2004's "Uh Oh" featuring reggae artist Elephant Man, and 2005's "I Think I'm In Love" featuring rapper Joe Budden. The album was subsequently released in the UK the following year, featuring a new track ("You Are The Man") as well as a remix of the single "Hate 2 Luv U". 〔(Allure album Chapter III on allmusic.com )〕 In 2010, the group released their fourth album Time's Up.〔(Allure album Time's Up on raredobsuremusic.wordpress.com )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Allure (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
