The third spectacular album from Regina Belle indeed reflects the passion, fire and power that have propelled her into the upper echelon of today's female vocalists. I co-wrote the title song with its producer Narada Michael Walden," says Regina. It's about the emotional state people get to when they're totally driven. The song -reflects my alteiego. about the part of me I don't let out. ..except through my music." It's been just over three years since Regina Belle released Stay With Me her previous critically acclaimed Columbia album, which achieved RIAA gold status and spawned a number of hits including "Baby. Come To Me," "make It Like It Was." and "This Is Love." In the interim, much has happened in Reginia's life, reflected in the exceptionally strong, well-crafted tunes she chose for this all-impor tant new album. Regina.' s pride in Passion is fully justified; the album is filled with musical gems. "It's hard for me to single out specific songs.'-' she said, "although I will say that Ivoe songs, ballads, have always been my strong point. Since they're- my forte, we've got quite a t'ew great ballads on the album." Leading the pack arc tunes like "If I Could." an emotional tour-de force that allows Regina to express how she feels about her two young children; " A Whole New World (Aladdin's Theme)." her #1 hit duet with Columbia lablemate Peabo Bryson. from the blackbuster movie; and the sensual, jazz-fla vored "Love." featuring a sax solo another Columbia artist. Kirk Whalum. "Quiet4 Time." a loping, mood making groove features Barry White, The Maestro Of Love.' on what Regina calls "the kind of tune that is for the adults. ..you know, the kind of song you put on when you're with your mate, the kids are with their grandparents, you turn the phone off..." Regina's sizzling vocal prowess is demonstrated on the var ied range of musical forms repre sented on Passion. She gets right to the point on "Do You Want To Get Serious," a groove ballad; and then offers anew twist to Billy Holiday's classic "My Man." which receives a swinging Belle treatment. "It's a song I'd thought about doing for a while, and in the same way I did "Someday We'll All Be Free" on my last album as a tribute to Donny Regina Belle Hathaway, this is my way of paying homage to Billie. And although we start out somewhat in the vein she did, we went into a whole other thing musically." The Arts Council Presents the Third Annual Triad All Star Jazz Jam Winston-Salem. NC. Feb. 22 ?
