It will be interesting to see what conditions if any Diana has agreed to with regard to overseas touring commitments.
Maybe her long anticipated appearance at Glastonbury, UK could be worked in around the new album!!!

I agree with Pharrell being one of the dream producers. Whatch'all think about megaproducers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis? Look what they did for Janet. Which in my humble opinion brought her induction into the Hall of Fame AND making careers of scores of folk! Ciara I'm looking at you, hon.
Methinks he will be forced to make lemonade from those bitter lemons! And wine from those grapes!! Diane [[real name) rocks!! If you can still be performing in your late 70's you deserve the success you've achieved!! One report said the average performer/musician/singer's shelf life is 5 years!!!! Take that haters!!!!!
Although I am skeptical as hinted above, I guess we should be encouraged by the idea that ANYONE might still be releasing "an album" or "a CD" in 2020, since all indications are that the format will have been phased out by then.
My big fear is that Diana will finally follow One of Mary’s ideas for the first time in 50 years - announce an album that never comes out, like Mary’s HDH album!
I wonder if my worry will be as grave as Marv’s fear that this will be a hit?
I think not!
Phased out ? I just bought a CD, then purchased a Vinyl LP for $22.98 and then downloaded an Itunes song as well. As long as they don't bring back 8track I'm good.
Hopefully Diana's new album will come out before CDs and/or downloads cease to exist!! :D
As long as it is released on vinyl I am happy!:D
I'm hopeful about this. It's good news! Wishing the lady all the success she desires for the new project.
It will definitely be available on cd. Despite the rather youthful collabarators lined up for this album the majority of Diana's fans would probably prefer a physical release to a download. Probably will not be out until around Sept 2020. Work does not commence on the project until the latter end of the year.
I think you can rest easy. This album has been in the planning stages since 2016. It almost happened last year.
As regards Mary's proposed HDH album, i don't think anyone is willing to take a chance on her. She was unable to summon up the interest in the previous millenium so the chances if it appearing in this century is practically zero. Sad but true.
Makes perfect sense. As has been said, she is not well known and generally only appears on local tv.
I was actually making an oblique suggestion that Marv's worry about a potential release and hit is about 100,000 times greater than my concern that Diana's release goes the way of Mary's. Nothing about Diana is similar to Mary other than they were in a group once 50 years ago.
It's a really fantastic news for the day. i enjoy her current voice and I'm eager to hear it on new material.
Just hope she will trust those producers to bring a new sound, even if it's not the one she loves herself.
I am almost 200% sure that if Diana announced she is recording and that an album/CD/LP will follow is actually going to happen. She use to sing the hell out of "More Today than Yesterday" on just about every show and concert. I really wasn't that fond of the song but she sure loved singing it. I think she is coming out again !!! HAHAHA
This is wonderful news! I do hope Mark produces all [[or most) of the project.
And yes, it MUST be issued on vinyl!
This is amazing news. I really want her to work with Barry Gibb again. I hope he can nab her for a project.
What I have noticed is that everytime Diana does something new or has a great concert review the forum starts getting all old reviews and interviews that Mary did 25-40 years ago. How ironic and messy and nellie.
yeah it’s funny there are like 4 Mary stories at the top of this forum — as if she’s the most popular artist on the internet LOL out if curiosity I checked them out and they are old news!
I’d like to see Diana work with Erykah Badu, who I’m fairly certain said something like her style was channeling Billie Holiday via Diana in “Lady Sings The Blues”.
While they are not popular these days, I always wanted Diana to work with British band Swing Out Sister.
For those of you wanting the new Diana on 8-Track, there's hope. Mark Ronson had a limited edition batch of them made for his upcoming album that were sold on his website. They sold out in hours.
Those reel-to-reel tapes are still being made -- they are prohibitively expensive, in my opinion!

Marv, It sounds like you are wishing her to die in the near future and she shouldn't make any plans. Shame on you an all your negativity to this thread.
