When she began lighting up the music scene in her native Buffalo, multi-talented vocalist and songwriter DeeAnn won hearts and numerous local awards focusing on pop, rock and country. Yet she's enjoyed her greatest success since embracing what her father, popular Buffalo jazz performer Frank DiMeo, always felt was her destiny - to be a jazz, or as she prefers, "jazzy soul" singer. She showcases the full array of sophisticated, stylish and sultry charms on this wonderfully dreamy, blues-tinged soul-jazz re-imagining of Sade's "Kiss of Life. It's an irresistible track that marks her second empowering collaboration with mega-producer Ted Perlman, who adds DeeAnn to a resume of superstars that includes Whitney Houston, Bob Dylan, Diana Ross, Ronald Isley, Burt Bacharach and Brian Wilson. The song crosses realms as well as genres with lyrics that bring meaning to metaphors and healing to hopelessness.
