musbest Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Diana Ross - Diana (1980) WAV Artist: Diana RossTitle: DianaYear Of Release: 1980-05-22Label: Motown (USA) / Astor Records Pty Ltd. (AU)Genre: R&B, Soul/Funk, Electronic, DiscoQuality: WavPack (img.+.cue), [24bit/192kHz]Total Time: 34:12Total Size: 1,54 Gb Diana Ross would probably be offended by anyone who called her 1980 smash Diana a comeback, but let's face it -- after the flop of The Wiz, and the way that the disco revolution steamrollered so many of her Motown compatriots' careers, that's exactly what it was. Wisely hooking up with Chic's Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards (both the most traditionally rooted and most fearless of the major disco-era producers), Ross sounds more forceful than she had in years. The helium-toned style of her early hits with the Supremes is worlds away from the assertive way she rips into the funky hit "Upside Down." Even better, the joyous, celebratory "I'm Coming Out" is probably the best solo track of her career, and the heartfelt "Now That You're Gone" is one of her most subtle ballads. The glossy Chic production might sound a bit dated to some ears, but it's matured much better than many similar albums of the era. Overall, this is, in many ways, Diana Ross' best solo record.~Review by Charity Stafford~Release of this album: 1980, may, 22 [LP Motown (USA) / Astor Records Pty Ltd.
