Lyric was an American R&B girl group, which comprised Brooklyn native, Farrah "Fendi" Fleurimond, Jackie (a.k.a. Baby J) from Los Angeles, and Thema "Tayma Loren" McKinney from Detroit, and they would later be recognized as the first female trio to be signed by Clive Davis to his J Records imprint. They released their first single, 'Young And Sexy', in 2002, which was the lead single from their debut album 'Episode', which was scheduled for a November 2002 release, and this was followed by 'Episode' and then 'Hot & Tipsy' in 2003. The album was to have featured production from Hennessy, Kenny Whitehead, Steve Estiverne, Jack Knight and Thema's brother Carlos "Pryceless" McKinney. However, the album was cancelled and has been locked away in the vaults since 2002, and although the trio attended the Grammy Week Songwriters luncheon with Patti LaBelle in 2003, they disbanded shortly afterwards after leaving J Records. Advance sampler copies were issued to the press before the record was cancelled, and so we are able to hear what the album would have sounded like if the record company had allowed it to be released.
