Synopsis

Amazon.com
You've got to hand it to Taylor Dayne. For all the gruel she's foisted on the pop music market, her return to recording after an eight-year hiatus passes muster. Dayne is nothing if not consistent. She may have almost as many "hits" compilations as she has studio albums, but each offering packs a few exhilarating surprises. The first of those in question is the calypso-fueled "She Don't Love You." An easy-going mixed chorus perfectly evinces the lyrical snarl implied in the title, while the drum kit and auxiliary percussion riff the message through with tropical abandon. And how has it taken so long for a woman to cover Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Under the Bridge," never mind giving the song the blaring horn section it should have had the first time around? After a title track that sounds tailor-made for any dentist's lobby, the schmaltzy "Dedicated" finds Dayne braying forgettable promises about love, and it's not for a few tracks that things pick up again. "Crash" brings back the brass, which always meets Dayne's near-rasp with a kindred texture that elevates both. In all, fans will find plenty to pluck here, for both the dance floor and the headphones. Satisfied, indeed. --Jason Kirk

Taylor-Made Success
Cory T. Shaeffer | Pittsburgh | 02/05/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you are a fan of the club scene, then you know that Taylor Dayne has not completely abandoned recording new music. In fact, she has had several top 5 dance hits over the past decade. However, this is her first new studio set since 1998's tremendous "Naked Without You." Here is a little fact about Taylor Dayne: she has gotten progressively better with each album release. Her artistic breakthrough came with 1993's "Soul Dancing," which followed two multi-platinum smash albums, 1990's "Can't Fight Fate" and 1987's "Tell it to My Heart." So now some 20 years since her first single, Dayne returns full force to the scene with a set of catchy, stunningly soulful dance numbers and ballads. Dayne can sing flawlessly (Anastacia and Joss Stone have borrowed heavily from her vocal style over the years) and with passion. She has performed on Broadway, and has garnered honors from artists including Elton John himself, so there never has been a question as to how much talent she has. She has only produced 5 studio albums in 20 years, though, and much like fellow 80's starlets Paula Abdul and Cyndi Lauper, there has not been enough new material released to gauge whether or not she could once again become a relevant artist in today's music market. One listen to this disc proves that Taylor Dayne is still relevant and then some. There is not a bad track on here, although this record does not have the same glitzy kick of her late 80's dance-pop. That has been stripped away and in its place are sonic layers of vocal harmonies, new bass heavy beats, and much more soulful, heartfelt singing. This album is more of a re-assurance than it is a comeback, because any fan of this dynamic diva knows that she is, and always has been, a vocal powerhouse with passion in every note she sings."
A Must Purchase for Taylor Dayne Fans

"This is a much anticipated CD focusing on a modern day Taylor Dayne showcasing her powerful vocals. Although she is known for her dance songs in the 90s, this CD has everything from new dance tunes (Beautiful, I'm Over My Head etc.) to newer sounds with "She Don't Love You", "Crash" and includes a fabulous cover of "Fool to Cry".

After ten years let's all support her talent, creativity and new music by purchasing this CD. Welcome Back Taylor Dayne. I hope she wins the awards she deserves with this CD."
She still has it after all these years

"Taylor Dayne's new album "Satisfied" is great. Great variety of musical styles combined in to one great listenable album. Every song is great. Maybe she won't return to her once platinum status but "Satisified" defiantely satisfies the listener from beginning to end. My favorite song is the cover of Red Hot Chili Pepper's "Under The Bridge." She sounds amazing as always. I remain a Taylor Dayne fan for life! Great job Leslie! (Her real name)"
