After a stylistic detour with 2007's DESTINATION MOON, on which Deborah Cox paid tribute to jazz and classic-pop vocal legend Dinah Washington, the Canadian chanteuse returns to her natural R&B milieu on THE PROMISE. Working with a selection of top-tier collaborators (John Legend, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis), Cox delivers a set of eminently smooth yet impassioned music which alternates between hip-hop-style jams ("Saying Goodbye") and neo-soul fare ("You Know Where My Heart Is"). On "Did You Ever Love Me," the singer reveals the benefits of briefly leaving one's comfort zone, combining modern production with a vocal that recalls Washington's best torch songs.

ALBUM DESCRIPTION

Platinum-selling recording artist Deborah Cox returns with her first new studio album in six years, The Promise, to be released in November. The album marks the former Clive Davis protege's return to the world of R&B, where her hit song Nobody's Supposed to Be Here, broke the record for the longest running number one single on Billboard's Hot R&B / Hip-Hop Songs chart.

Led by the Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis and Big Jim Wright-produced first single, Did You Ever Love Me the poignant, soulful slow-burning R&B song is a reflection on a relationship that has just ended.

The album features production by an all-star team of collaborators, including John Legend (Alicia Keys, Lauryn Hill), Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis (Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson), Big Jim Wright (Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey), Shep Crawford (Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross, Tamia), Devo Springsteen (Kanye West, Estelle) and the Avila Brothers (Toni Braxton, Gwen Stefani).
