"Diana" by Diana Ross really brings the disco vibes I sometimes crave—it's like a time machine straight to 1980! This album is a fun, groovy departure from Ross’s earlier sound, thanks to the magic touch of Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers from Chic. It's a fantastic blend that takes you through disco, pop, and R&B all at once. The opening track, "Upside Down," doesn't mess around; it drops you right into a pulsating beat that's impossible not to dance to. And, honestly, Diana's voice? Absolutely stellar—it's like she's right there with you, commanding the room.
Then there's "I’m Coming Out," which is just the perfect empowerment jam. Whenever I hear it, I can't help but feel a boost, like I can take on anything. Plus, let's talk about "My Old Piano"—it's like a splash of joy that hits you with a dose of fun nostalgia. The standout aspect has to be the production—it's got that Chic sparkle which makes it all so timeless. Years on, and "Diana" still feels fresh and polished. It not only soared to the top of the charts but also settled nicely into the hearts of disco lovers everywhere. If you're into that classic disco sound mixed with pop, Diana Ross's "Diana" is a nostalgic trip that keeps on giving. It’s an album that definitely holds a shining spot in Ross's career and in the disco history books. -
