Terri & Monica was an R&B duo from the early 1990s which featured Terri Robinson (August 12, 1970) and Monica Payne (February 22, 1969), who were members of the short-lived late 1980s New Jack Swing R&B group The Gyrlz[1] along with third member Tara Geter.[2]

As members of The Gyrlz, they released one album for Uptown Records under distribution from Capitol Records- 1988's Love Me or Leave Me.[3]

After Geter left the group, Robinson and Payne continued on as a duo.[4] They released a pair of full-length recordings, 1993's Systa and 1996's Suga, both released via Epic Records. The latter spawned a Billboard Magazine hit single, "Sexuality (If You Take Your Love)."

In March 2022, The Gyrlz long out of print debut album Love Me or Leave Me was released by Universal Music Group to digital and streaming platforms
