Artist of the Week: Taylor Dayne

When the name Taylor Dayne is mentioned, right away the time frame goes to the '80s where 'Tell It to My Heart' became the most frequent song to be blasted from boom boxes. Twenty years after, the name is not yet exhausted from the rub of time. The disco icon is back with her solo record 'Satisfied' that released its first single, 'Beautiful' to no longer big hair era beats but wild anthem and a twist of contemporary pop. "It was time to roll up my sleeves, get back into the studio and show people I'm not done yet," Dayne said with a laugh. Talking about 'done', she rolled out a team that almost scarily awe any music fans who knows the drill. Taking Mike Mangini (Baha Men, O-Town), Peter Wade (Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna) and Rick Nowels (Stevie Nicks, Madonna), Dayne believes her new sound will capture her old fans the same way as the new ones. "My job as an artist is to make sure that I make the material I choose mine, by interpreting it my way," Dayne puts it. 'Satisfied' is in stores February 5, 2008.
