Taylor Dayne

Multi-platinum recording artist Taylor Dayne may call her new album Satisfied, but the world-class performer is anything but, as she prepares to release her first studio album in almost 10 years on her own Intention Music label, distributed by Warner Music Group's Adrenaline/ADA.

The New York-born artist's three albums for Arista Records, Tell It To My Heart, Can't Fight Fate, and Soul Dancing, produced twelve Top 20 singles, among them the chart-topping "Love Will Lead You Back." Over the course of her career, she has sold more than 75 million albums and singles worldwide, garnering three Grammy nominations along the way. On her new album, Dayne co-wrote four of the songs, including the first single, "Beautiful," with Norwegian tunesmith Hitesh, as well as "Love Chain," "The Fall" and "Hymn."

The new album offers Dayne an opportunity to show off the versatility of her amazing pipes, which have gotten deeper, richer and more confident with age. She is equally at home on soaring ballads like "Beautiful" and the show-stopping "Hymn," both of which she co-wrote, as she is with the Spector-meets-Heart rock of "Crash," the come-hither sensuality of "Kissing You," the dance-floor beat of "I'm Over My Head" and the reggae rhythms of "She Don't Love You" and "Dedicated."

"I've always had a very passionate and large voice," says Taylor, adding that she grew up on rock bands like the Beatles, The Stones, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith and Bad Company. "But the moment I heard Al Green and Marvin Gaye, it was all over."
