Official Taylor Dayne Page

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 title is very tongue-in-cheek," she admits, taking its name from her cover of U.K. blue-eyed soul sensation Lewis Taylor's song of the same name. "There are all kinds of love on this album: unrequited, damaged, broken, hurtful, heart filled … It's all about asking yourself, ‘Are you sure this is where you want to be? Are you happy with the choices you've made?'"

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."

"It was time to roll up my sleeves, get back into the studio and show people I'm not done yet," she laughs.

Other top-name producer/writers on Satisfied include Mike Mangini (Baha Men, Digbable Planets, O-Town, Bruce Hornsby, David Byrne), Peter Wade (Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Natasha Bedingfield), and the New Radicals' Gregg Alexander ("You Get What You Give") & Rick Nowels (Stevie Nicks, Madonna, k.d. lang, Nelly Furtado, Santana), among others. There are also marvelously soulful covers of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Under the Bridge," the Rolling Stones' "Fool to Cry" and Des'ree's "Kissing You," from the soundtrack of Baz Luhrmann's William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet, reminiscent of her hit version of Barry White's "Can't Get Enough of Your Love."
