Cool Down Zone

Cool Down Zone - Waiting For Love (1990)
This production is very much in the late 80's style of Soul II Soul. Started out as 52nd Street from Manchester, England. Dianne Charlemagne on vocals. 1982 signed with Factory.

Recent years have seen Dianna signed with Chrysalis Music and continuing to work with respected acts. New works include collaborations with London Electricity, 2020Soundsystem and Prayer Box. Diane was part of The Gospel Choir performance of 'Cry Of Innocence' – the opera in respect of the tragic death of 19 year old Stephen Lawrence.

Diane is currently working on a solo album with Sylvan Richardson (Simply Red and Ian Brown).
Marvelling and continuing to push boundaries Diane's emotive voice box and influential passion are going to be with us for many more years to come.
