Diana King
戴安娜·金
生平1970年出生于牙买加的女歌手Diana King以担任幕后和声进入歌坛，1994年因出现在英国雷鬼团体Steel Pulse和饶舌歌手Notorious B.I.G.的专辑中而受到注意获得一纸合同。
1995年的"Shy Guy"随着威尔．史密斯主演的【绝地战警】（Bad Boys）电影卖座之故成为英美两地的畅销单曲，此曲同时收录在Diana King自己的专辑「Tougher Than Love」里，Diana终于从幕后成功走向台前。1997年茱莉亚．罗勃兹的喜剧片【新娘不是我】（My Best Friend’s Wedding）中出现另一首Diana King的演唱"I Say A Little Prayer"，虽是老歌新唱但再次受到歌迷的喜爱。
Diana King形容她2002年的专辑「Respect」是「头一次得以完全自由创作的作品，里面的音乐就是在描写我自己。」融合牙买加的雷鬼音乐、黑人流行的节奏与蓝调加上作曲填词的功力使Diana King不仅是位乐风明确的歌手，同时也是位优秀的叙事高手。
轻快节奏的"Summer Breezin'"是Diana忆起与真实生活里的好友相处的夏日欢乐时光；"Suga, Suga"讲的是年轻女孩想找个糖果老爹的故事，找到有钱的男人，女孩就不用辛苦工作又有钱花，是不是时下许多女生的心愿？"Mi Lova"则是Diana私人的感情世界，讲的是她的爱人…；"The Real S**t"更是Diana成长过程的自我剖析，或许身为十五个小孩之一培养出叛逆、独立、想要与众不同的个性使周遭人不知如何面对这个「问题小孩」，而Diana在那段成长岁月唯一抚慰心灵者唯有歌唱而已。从这些歌曲不难看出这张「Respect」专辑有欢乐、有自省，Diana以一贯雷鬼加节奏蓝调节拍唱出关于生命与爱的故事。

专辑：Tougher Than Love
1995年的"Shy Guy"随着威尔．史密斯主演的【绝地战警】（Bad Boys）电影卖座之故成为英美两地的畅销单曲，此曲同时收录在Diana King自己的专辑「Tougher Than Love」里，Diana终于从幕后成功走向台前。
不仅如此，专辑中的其他曲目也颇为精彩。例如翻唱于Chaka Khan1983年全美流行单曲[Ain’t Nobody]，使得这首传唱至今的名曲带着浓浓的Reggae风韵。而天后级人物Celine Dion也在数年后演绎了Diana King此张专辑的中的一首歌，就是收录在[Let's Talk About Love]中那首脍炙人口的[Treat Her Like a Lady]。
虽然这张专辑的发行已经是10年前的事情了~但是专辑中的曲目在现在听来还是如此的新鲜与时髦。

[转]评论：
1997年茱莉亚．罗勃兹的喜剧片【新娘不是我】（My Best Friend’s Wedding）中出现另一首Diana King的演唱"I Say A Little Prayer"，虽是老歌新唱但再次受到歌迷的喜爱。而翻唱自Culture Clubs的Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?同样让人心动。
专辑主打歌L-L-Lies更是令人寻味。讲述了一个女子目睹自己爱人在外偷欢后的质询。可谓妙趣横生。
以Respect专辑里的Summer Breezin为例，叙事性很强，演绎生动，韵律感十足，声音兼具细腻与厚实，甘醇如醴酪。赞！
Brand new one on the radio
Just play mi inna stereo
Ha-ha
Summer breezin’
Yeh, mon’, summertime
Summer breezin’
Uh-uh
So I call Michelle up on the cell
Bring your Nike bikini and nothing else
We’re goin’ to the beach, take the top off the jeep
And bring Chantel as well
And the boys upstairs wanna come
But they remind me of Dumber & Dumb
Oh, Lord brought the heat, so turn the car key
Gonna have a little fun in the sun, yeh-yeh-yeh
Summer breezin’
Mmm, everywhere I go everybody I know
Is kissing on the beach and flossing on the streets
And lookin’ for a love so sweet
Summer breezin’
Mmm, I’m just chilling in the sun with mi chocolate bun
Ooh, I got a lover, but I might find another
If I drink enough of tequila
Everywhere, everyone
Everywhere
Bounty Killer is blarin’, everybody’s staring
Checking out the bling-bling-bling we’re wearing
Strolling down the boardwalk, licking all the boytalk,
well
I feel like that song by Bobby McFerrin
No worries ‘cause everything cool
No school, no rules, just jump in the pool
G-strings and jerk chicken wings
These are the things that summertime brings
Summer breezin’
Mmm, everywhere I go everybody I know
Is kissing on the beach and flossing on the streets
And lookin’ for a love so sweet
Summer breezin’
Mmm, I’m just chilling in the sun with mi chocolate bun
Ooh, I got a lover, but I might find another
If I drink enough of tequila
Everyone, everywhere
Everyone, everywhere (Mmm, hmm)
Summer breezin’
See, I’ve been watching you all day
Meet me later at the News Café
And if everything feels right
We’ll go skinny dipping in the warm moonlight, yeah
Warm moonlight, warm moonlight
Shoot, what time is it
Oops
6:45 and sun is arisin’
Me and Michelle and Chantel feel like hell
I’m gonna sleep till 2 and call up my crew
And do it all over again
Summer breezin’
Mmm, everywhere I go everybody I know
Is kissing on the beach and flossing on the streets
And lookin’ for a love so sweet
Summer breezin’
Mmm, I’m just chilling in the sun with mi chocolate bun
Ooh, I got a lover, but I might find another
If I drink enough of tequila
Summer breezin’
Mmm, everywhere I go everybody I know
Kissing on the beach and flossing on the streets
And lookin’ for a love so sweet
Summer breezin’
Mmm, I’m just chilling in the sun with mi chocolate bun
Ooh, I got a lover, but I might find another
If I drink enough of tequila
