Every Day is a New Day is the twenty-second studio album by American singer Diana Ross, released on May 4, 1999, by Motown Records. Ross consulted a number of new collaborators to work with her on the album, including Arif Mardin, Chuckii Booker, Christopher Ward, Malik Pendleton, Ric Wake, and Daryl Simmons. Its release coincided with the broadcast of the ABC television motion picture, Double Platinum (1999), in which Ross co-starred with singer Brandy and her character performed several songs from Every Day is a New Day
The album debuted and peaked at number 108 on the US Billboard 200 and number 47 on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, also reaching number 73 in the United Kingdom, where it became her lowest-charting album of original material since Ross (1978). Every Day is a New Day marked Ross' final contractual album released during her second Motown tenure until the label released her previously-shelved jazz standards album, Blue, a 1970s studio album, in 2006 and would also be Ross' last studio album of new material for another seven years.
On this album, Ross continued to contribute to compositions, co-writing the bonus tracks "Free (I'm Gone)" and "Drop the Mask". These tracks were only available on the Japanese edition of the album. The album also includes cover versions of Martha Wash's 1992 US club hit "Carry On" and "He Lives in You" from The Lion King musical.
Ross delivered several television specials throughout the millennium years.[2] UK TV promotion for the album included the ITV special An Audience with Diana Ross. On the special, along with past hits, the songs Ross performed from Every Day Is a New Day were "He Lives in You" and the single "Not Over You Yet", recreating elements of the music video with choreography. Singer Boy George duetted with her on the number one single "Upside Down".
Allmusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine called Every Day Is a New Day Ross' "most carefully conceived album in years, filled with immaculate productions that appealed either to the dancefloor or adult contemporary radio. The problem is, there wasn't much to recommend in the way of songs. Although the album sounds good, nothing on it truly catches hold the way [...] As a result, Every Day Is a New Day stands as nothing more than a stylish but failed comeback."[1] Alec Foege wrote in his review for People that Every Day Is a New Day was "an album that melds her enduring style with fresh substance [...] For more than 30 years, Ross has lured her fans. Looks like she’ll be keeping them."[4]Chicago Sun Times critic Miriam DiNunzio found that "There is much to celebrate about this twelve-cut songfest from the supreme pop diva."[4]
