Taylor Dayne’s New Studio Album ‘SATISFIED’ Available February 5, 2008 on Intention Music

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7 /PRNewswire/ — “SATISFIED”, the highly anticipated album from recording artist TAYLOR DAYNE, is set for release on February 5th, 2008. Dayne’s fifth studio album and first effort in ten years, “SATISFIED” delivers a powerful selection of 13 songs from acclaimed writers and producers including Rick Nowels, Billy Steinberg, Mike Mangini, Peter Wade, and Richie Jones, among others. With “SATISFIED”, Dayne is poised to triumphantly return to the forefront of popular music.

Dayne is no stranger to success. Known worldwide for her premier vocals and hit recordings, she has sold over 75 million albums and singles worldwide and has had ten Top 10 hits including “Tell It To My Heart” and “Love Will Lead You Back,” three Grammy nominations, and two sold-out world tours. On “SATISFIED”, Dayne has opted to leave the major labels behind and make her own way by releasing her newest offering on her own label, Intention Music, distributed by Adrenaline/ADA, Warner Music.

“This is an exciting time musically for me,” says Dayne. “And this record reflects that. It was great to have the opportunity to be creative and make some magic with some of the producers and writers I have admired over the years. This record has been a long time coming.”

“Beautiful”, the first single from the disc, will hit radio in November 2007 and will be available for download everywhere on December 11, 2007. The song is co-written by Dayne, who also co-writes three additional songs on the album, and is the perfect introduction to “SATISFIED”.

Jennifer Lopez - Brave

Contributed by Nathan S.

Excerpt:

“The Way It Is has my favorite production on the album. Built around a live drum that stutters and paves it’s way through the track like a suave b-boy, J-Lo hits the perfect balance between R&B and pop. I’m secure enough in my manhood to admit I was singing along in the car.”

Jennifer Lopez - ‘Brave’
(Epic)
By PHIL GALLO (Variety)

Jennifer Lopez
Brazenly derivative of R&B/dance music styles of the early 1990s, Jennifer Lopez’s second album of 2007 (the first was in Spanish) has few signs of inventiveness, a problem, one suspects, when song after song is assembled by committees of writers and producers.

“Hold It Don’t Drop It,” for example, requires another seven to come up with the beats and lyrics as the melody is based on the single song sampled, Tavares’ “It Only Takes a Minute.” Steamy romance, proper treatment by a lover and a jet-set lifestyle dominate the lyrics; lead-off track “Stay Together” is the most personal of the 12 tracks as she gives props to monogamy, proclaiming that staying together is the new trend. “Never Gonna Give Up,” a ballad driven by strings, is the album’s most interesting song; “Mile in These Shoes” is the one distinctive tune that reveals J-Lo. Otherwise, Jenny has left the block. In her vocals - all of which have a separate producer and are electronically altered or layered and still are not consistently confident - Lopez apes Beyonce, Shakira and Madonna as producers wheel out techniques associated with Madge, Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder, and TLC.

“CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: Lopez gives the right vocal performance — tender and vulnerable — on the album’s best track, the lovely “Never Gonna Give Up,” a lush, string-based ballad about overcoming heartbreak.”
