With her sparkling sophomore release, I Love Being Here With You, singer and songwriter Dione Taylor has emerged as a fully-formed and exciting young artist. While unmistakably a jazz album, I Love Being Here With You reflects Dione Taylor’s love and background in gospel, rhythm & blues and soul. Her rich and smoky voice has a truly soulful quality, one attractively complemented by her keenly trained musical ear. This combination of soulfulness and subtlety is an irresistible one.

To record her latest album, I Love Being Here With You, Dione paired up with producers Doug Riley (Ray Charles, David Clayton-Thomas, The Brecker Brothers) and Sandy Mamane (Dione Taylor). “I’ve always been a big fan of Doug Riley and loved the results of the last album with Sandy so all three of us put our heads together and made some magic!” The producers helped assemble an ace team of players including Jake Langley, Guido Basso, Pat LaBarbera, Terry Clarke and international piano virtuoso, Benny Green. Another special guest on the album is vocal jazz sensation Denzal Sinclaire. He duets with Dione on the tender and romantic title track “I Love Being Here With You” an original composition of Dione’s. The disc is stylistically eclectic, exciting and adventurous yet accessible and entertaining.

“ This is my love album. It explores all different kinds of
love: intimate love, self-love, love for your friends and love for God. The universal language of love is music and
this is my gift to the world.”
