다이애나 로스(Diana Ross)는 솔로 아티스트로서, 그리고 그룹 슈프림스(The Supremes)의 리더로서 헐리우드 명예의 거리(Hollywood Walk of Fame)에 두 개의 별을 가지고 있는 관록의 디바이다. 1970년 슈프림스를 떠나면서 솔로활동을 시작한 후에도 그녀는 가수로서는 물론이고, 배우로서도 꾸준한 활동을 이어갔고, 그러던 중 1976년에 발표한 동명의 타이틀 앨범 [Diana Ross]로 동시대 디바들 중에서도 단연 돋보이는 기록의 아티스트로 기억되게 되었다.
그녀는 이 앨범에서 데뷔 이후 처음으로 한 앨범 안에 네 개의 히트 싱글을 발표하기도 했고, 수록곡 ‘Love Hangover’로는 그래미 어워즈 최우수 R&B 여성 보컬 퍼포먼스(Best R&B Female Vocal Performance) 부문에 노미네이트 되기도 했다(이 곡은 다이애나 로스의 싱글곡 중 가장 많이 샘플링되는 디스코넘버이다.).
그리고 2012년, 다이애나 로스에게 명예와 성공을 동시에 안겨준 이 앨범 [Diana Ross]가 ‘디지털 리마스터링’ 된 디럭스 에디션의 버전으로 새롭게 출시되게 되었다. 새롭게 발매되는 [Diana Ross] 앨범에는 리마스터 작업이 이루어진 오리지널 앨범의 수록곡들이 모두 포함되어있고 믹스싱글과 프로모션용 미공개 싱글곡(Coming Home)까지도 수록되어있어, 그 동안 다이애나 로스의 디스코그래피에서 볼 수 없었던 다양한 종류의 음악이 선보여질 예정이다. 특히 두 번째 디스크에 수록된 곡 ‘Harmony’는 다이애나 로스가 엘튼 존(Elton John)의 고전을 커버한 퍼포먼스로 지금껏 한 번도 공개된 적이 없었던, 이번 디럭스 에디션만의 특별 수록곡이라 할 수 있다.
이 밖에도 이번 앨범에는 오리지널 버전의 거의 전곡이 얼터너티브 믹스 버전으로 다뤄지고 있어 원곡의 사운드를 더욱 풍성하게 해주었고, 1976년 앨범 발매 이후 가졌던 다이애나 로스의 인터뷰 음성이 36년 만에 처음으로 공개되어 [Diana Ross] 앨범작업을 둘러싼 비하인드 스토리까지 직접 들어볼 수 있는 기회가 마련되었다. .... ....
Do you know where you're going to? Do you like the things that life is showing you? Where are you going to, do you know? Do you get what you're hoping for? When you look behind you there's no open door. What are you hoping for, do you know?
Once we were standing still in time. chasing the fantasies that filled our minds. And you knew how I loved you but my spirit was free laughing at the questions that you once asked of me.
Do you know where you're going to? Do you like the things that life is showing you? Where are you going to, do you know?
Now looking back at all we planned, we let so many dreams just slip through our hadns. Why must we walt so long before we see how sad the answers to those questions can be?
