The clever marketing line about Sin City goes, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas," but
Dian Diaz -- a sensation on the Strip since she began headlining The Bellagio's prestigious
Fontana Room in 1998 -- makes great strides toward becoming much more than a local legend with her impressive indie debut. The first single, the soulful and inspirational
"Colour Everywhere" (which was co-written by famed
pop songwriter
Guy Roche) perfectly reflects the intense passion and energy that
Diaz has put into a project whose powerful blend of
Latin and
pop influences are destined to set new trends in
pop music. During her time as one of Las Vegas' premier, must-see club attractions,
Diaz has endeared herself to numerous
pop legends who have been literally blown away by her riveting performances with her 12-piece band. Everyone from
R. Kelly to
Bono has come up on-stage to sing duets. Another of her fans is her longtime idol
Whitney Houston, who once came to check her out three nights in a row. With all the star magnetism, it's no surprise that
Diaz was able to attract huge behind-the-scenes talent to work with her on her debut. Contributing songwriters include multiple Grammy award winner
Narada Michael Walden and
DJ Jazzy Jeff's crew out of Philadelphia.
Diaz's main producer is
Rodney Alejandro, whose credits include the theme song for
Fox's
The Shield and the theme song for
CBS'
Now and Again; he has also worked with
the Temptations and
Olga Tafton. Two tracks perfectly epitomize the balance of subtle romance and sexy
salsa-flavored dance tunes; she gives
Shakira a run for her money on the sizzling
"Remember How We Danced" and
"Get with You" and shows all the rich candlelit
soul of
Toni Braxton on the gracefully produced
"No More Tears." ~Jonathan Widran, All Music Guide
