Dina Carroll

[Illi]

UK peeps...why did y'all allow her to become irrelevant and absolutely disappear???? She could sing her ass off, she had albums sales. But why did she only amount to two albums, both attaining multiplatimun status? It's a shame that you there's not much if anything about her recently. She seems like a UK Whitney.

That said, I managed to find her first album and it's the epitome of Nostalgic.

She was boring

In 2000, First Avenue Management entered into a crisis phase when most of their artists were dropped by their labels, e.g. Eternal, Louise, Dana Dawson, Kele Le Roc, The Honeyz,Kéllé Bryan, Michelle Gayle, etc. All of their acts had declining record sales and Carroll was also caught up in this so left First Avenue at the end of 2000.

In 2001 Carroll released a new single and a greatest hits compilation released in the Spring and the Summer respectively. Carroll's cover version of Van Morrison's "Someone Like You", featured in the Bridget Jones's Diary soundtrack and reached number 38.^[1] This was not helped due to the fact that Van Morrison's version is actually heard in the movie and Carroll's cover tracklisted on the OST CD, which had already been available for two months and topped the compilation album charts. To fulfil her contractual obligations to Mercury, Carroll released The Very Best of Dina Carroll in June 2001. It entered the UK charts at No. 15, despite her only having released two studio albums to date, although they had both sold enough copies to achieve multi-platinum certifications.^[1][6]

In Spring 2002, Carroll left her contract with Universal Music Group.

She currently resides in the USA with her husband, John Cooper.
