I am not a big fan of most mainstream neo-soul (i.e. Beyonce, Ashanti etc.) but Diana's music has such an irresistably infectuous "feel-good" vibe that's impossible not to like. She created a unique R&B/Hip-Hop/Dancehall Reggae sound like nobody else and it comes off sooo smooth. Diana may not have the thought provoking lyrical depth of say...Lauryn Hill, but you deffinatley "feel" these song as they all have a very moody and sensual old school vibe to them. Shy Guy isn't the only good song, this album is pretty consistant, I wish Diana was ruling the chart nowadays she has more talent than most (plus a great voice).

This album is timeless. She holds true to her Jamaican roots while using 'cross-over' styles that actually complement each other. Lyrics are excellent and the versatility of dance through soul is paralleled by her follow-up album. The follow-up album shows that the talented King's first album is no fluke. This is one versatile Caribbean Queen - run dey riddim D.K.!

THIS WOMAN IS BEAUTIFUL AND SHE SINGS VERY WELL. I ENJOY THIS ALBUM IT IS VERY GOOD. VERY NICE ALBUM TO LISTEN TO. EVERY SONG ON HERE IS GREAT. I LOVE THIS ALBUM IT HAS A LOT OF GREAT SONGS: IT INCLUDES A REMAKE OF AINT NOBODY; SHY GUN FROM BAD BOYS SOUNDTRACK. ILIKE THIS WHOLE ALBUM. IT IS A GREAT ALBUM I WOULD RECOMMEND ANYONE WHO LIKES DANCEHALL TO PURCHASE THIS ALBUM!!!!!!

I purchased this CD years ago when "Shy Guy" was getting radio play. Little did I realize that "Shy Guy" would not be my favorite cut on the disk! Every song makes me say ummm... Her music is sensual, sexy and sinfully soulful. I put her music on, take my clothes off, and look for a willing victim! Her rendition of "Ain't Nobody" is so erotic. You simply must add this CD to your collection if you want some sexy music. I don't know why this woman isn't on the charts, MTV, and radio. If you like Toni Braxton and Lauren Hill, you will LOVE Diana King!

British born Artist Diana King shines with her debut Tougher than Love and what a winner this really is. The first track Love Me Thru the Night is a sensible ballad that features Diana rapping some neat lyrics. Grade A+ The second track Shy Guy samples the Average White Band hit School Boy Crush and a worldwide hit single prior to it's official release was also featured in the Martin Lawrence movie Bad Boys. Grade A+++ Track three Love Triangle is a fine R&B tune that could have been a single but still a good song to dance to. Grade A++++ Other tracks that make this cd worth buying include the dancey title track Diana's version of Ain't Nobody and the fun Black Roses. But the cd is worth buying for Shy Guy alone. Buy it you won't regret it and for more reggae check out these reggae albums,
Ini Kamoze-Here Comes the Hotstepper, Patra-Queen Of The Pack, Patra-Scent Of Attraction, Shaggy-Boombastic Bob Marley-Sun Is Shining {Single}
Enjoy,

AFTER LISTENING TO "SHY GUY" & THE ENTIRE CD "TOUGHER THAN LOVE" I'M A FAN OF DIANA KING'S. ALTHOUGH I ONLY REMEMBER "SHY GUY" AS GETTING ANY AIRPLAY ON THE RADIO, THE OTHER SONGS ARE GREAT IN THEIR OWN RIGHT. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED.

Awesome album!!! The infusion of Reggae/Dancehall and R&B are excellent on this very satisfying album. Notable tracks are 'Shy Guy', 'Ain't Nobody', 'Love Triangle', 'Black Roses', 'Treat Her Like a Lady', and 'Tumble Down'. Not a dull moment, add this to your collection ASAP.

Many sellers are selling this as a SIGNED cd, the signature on the inside of the back artwork (under the cd) is printed and on all of the cd's that were released.

The cd itself is good, all of the songs are not hits, but very enjoyable all around.

This is one album that you'll get your money's worth out of. All of the tracks fantastic. You know how sometimes you buy a whole album and only listen to one song ? This is NOT one of those types of albums. I can listen to the whole album without skipping any. This album is filled with flavorful, melodic tracks. It is like R&B meets reggae/dancehall. Well produced...you won't regret it. I don't. ENJOY!

i just wanna say it's a cool album with hits like "lov me thru the nite" and not to mention "can't do without you".i just simply lov it!
