1993 年以卡通「阿拉丁」主題曲「全新的世界」(A Whole New World)轟動全球的女歌手瑞姬娜貝爾(Regina Belle),從小在教堂裏受到音樂的洗禮。她的父母都是福音歌手,對於她的有心進入流行音樂界,非常反對,但是她在學校參加了樂隊,不但學會多種管樂器,更在歌唱比賽中脫穎而出。後來,她進入大學,主修聲樂與歌劇,課餘開始在酒店賣唱,表演爵士與藍調歌曲,獲得熱烈的反應,並被「曼哈頓」(Manhattans)合唱團聘任爲女主唱。兩年之後,她離開合唱團,展開獨唱生涯,在藍調歌壇很快的走紅起來,並且應邀跟好些大牌歌手與團體合作。由於結婚生子,她曾暫別歌壇。
Her debut, "All By Myself," was a potent warm-up, and "Stay With Me" was a sophomore effort of high order. But Regina Belle's third release, "Passion," showed her poised to join the ranks of Anita Baker as one of contemporary R&B's most stylish and sophisticated singers. "Quiet Time" and "The Deeper I Love" are sharp and mature soul exercises, giving Belle an opportunity to wrap her silky voice around romantic claims amidst gently-flowing Quiet Storm grooves. "Passion" and "Tango in Paris" manage to pick up the pace and venture into the realm of pop without compromising artistic integrity, but the lush ballad "Love" and a slick cover of Billie Holiday's "My Man" prove that Regina is capable of the most mature of musical outings. Weak moments are few: the gospel-flavored "Dream in Color" features a decent vocal but still ends up sounding routine, while "One Love" is a pedestrian exercise in world-peace-themed pop.
