CD's ain't dying any time soon lol iTunes is dead on Mac computers lol
If vinyl and cassettes can make a comeback, I don't expect CD's to leave. Streaming can't replace everything. Stop believing the fake news. :D

On a couple of recent threads regarding suggestions about what Diana's latest project should be , there were lots of clever ideas about producers and album themes, but I don't remember a single one saying what she needs to do is release an album of songs written by her children....
Maybe it's pure genius , we'll see!! [[Or will we?? :rolleyes:)
She didn't mention Rhonda writing any songs which I could see on a track with her.
Now if Diana could do an extended tour of South East England over a period of 1-2 years in promotion of this new album which with its eight #1 worldwide hits manages to please both long time fans and attract newer audiences, my Diana dream can come true. :p
This whole transition has been widely mis-reported in the tech press.
Apple is breaking iTunes into its constituent parts - Music, Podcasts, Apps. This is a long time coming. iTunes has been too bloated for too long. It's not a "marketing ploy" either. Apple finally listened to developers who complained endlessly about iBloat. Try writing anything that depends on iTunes and see how "fun" it is. There is a reason there was a long applause when Apple announced the demise of iTunes at WWDC. It is a developer conference, after all.
The iTunes app will remain on the upcoming MacOS10.15 update for people who, ahem, like 8-track tapes, eg. those who refuse to move along when it comes to technology. It just won't be promoted [[as a default to open files) or supported, except for bug-fixes. iTunes on Windows will remain the same [[for now).
If you don't like Apple's approach to music, there is a thriving secondhand market for Microsoft Zunes. Have fun with that.
Evan and Ashley are actually pretty good song writers. Rhonda is also good. If they contributed a song or two it would not be the end of the world.
Don't want to get our hopes up to high. It took Nile Rodgers a couple of years to finally get the new Chic album released. But -- as I have said before -- I would love Ross to work with Alicia Keys or Raphael Saadiq, who both have expressed interest in working with Ross before. Also really like the work that Emeli Sandé is doing.
I can imagine the desperation some may be experiencing when you think about the fact that Diana has had only 2 releases of new and semi new material in 20 years. I don't think there are really any hot producers and songwriters out there pursuing her. She should have done that Tyler Perry movie! LOL!
Marv. Please give it a break. Let it go. It must be so stressful for you. We can see your overwhelming jealousy. You can’t stand it !! Lol Ever since it was announced that Diana Ross is going to be working on a new album and with one of the hottest producers in business! I feel sorry for you. I truly do.
You're self deluded. I have not seen anywhere in any trade news or industry news about an upcoming "Diana Ross" album. She just blurted that out. She does not even have a recording contract anymore. You're fantasizing. You should have been around when she meant something in the industry.........
I hadn't thought about it but Emile Sandé would be great for Diana to work with!!
Can you hear Diana on this one? Maybe. :)

Amen to that. Just gonna be crossover sellout material. Nothing going like the 60s or the 1999 song SUGAR FREE. Real r&b.

To make Marv happy, maybe Diana could do a cover of that Mary Wilson classic, "Darling Mother [[Johnnie Mae)". :rolleyes:
I am going to see Diana Ross tonight at NYC's Radio City Music Hall. She might talk about the new album. The show is sold out, but tickets are available on the secondary market.
[[Anyone else going?)
Circa, you and others need to ask about the the album if there is a Q and A
Moving right along.... Can hardly wait for Diana's new album/CD! Mark Ronson as producer sounds great to me. He has what it takes to give Diana some uptown funk -- the kind that appeals to both blacks and whites -- which is right up her alley. As far as other producers are concerned, I'll remain open-minded until I hear it -- including her kids' compositions, if any. [[But, please....not Chic again. Been there, done that TWICE already.)
