 Sydney, AU (EMI MUSIC AUSTRALIA) - Diana Ross is set to release her first studio album in over seven years. 'I Love You' which is also almost her 60th album to date will be released September 30. Diana Ross has built her life on love; from a self-acknowledged childhood growing up in a house filled with family love, through those chart topping wistful teenage love songs (Baby Love, Where Did Our Love Go) which shaped the career of one of the most successful artists of all time, to today, when she talks often of the love of her children, and her gift of the love of life. It is not surprising then, that for her first studio album in over seven years Diana chooses to dedicate the entire album to this most constant factor in her life. 'When I was in the studio, surrounded by these very talented singers and musicians, sharing these songs, I was filled with deep emotion. What a gift love and music is to me. My gift to you.' Diana Ross. The creative journey of making the album are also explained by Diana and co-executive producer Marylata E. Jacob: 'Each of the 14 songs chosen for this project has a very specific purpose or meaning to Diana. We researched and listened to hundreds of songs, literally, to find these 14. We wanted this CD to be played at celebrations of love and life: weddings, family gatherings, intimate moments'. Diana will also be in Australia later this year for a series of concerts in Sydney, Melbourne and Sanctuary Cove Queensland. DIANA ROSS / I LOVE YOU / IN STORE SPETEMBER 30
