"I LOVE Diana King. I already own the original 2003 UK release of Respect, but i am so glad to see it finally released in the US. This is Diana's best album todate. it is a real summer album. i love to listen to at the beach or in my jeep. hell im in ohio right now were it is 30 outside and i have been listening to it the last week. the lyrics are good, and the music is nice, and diana just keeps it real. this is definatly a GREAT album. the music ranges from hip hop, reggae, house/dane & even the few ballads. but its wonderful. everyone will enjoy this CD. Nuff Said!"

"got this cd as a fluke. have never heard of this woman before and don't particularly care for reggae music. played it while copying to my computer and ended up listening to the whole thing... repeated a few of the tracks several times! there's something here, the rhythm? or rhymes that remind me of mark morrison (return of the mack). definitely worth a listen!"
