On another acting note, Cox has finished shooting her first feature film role in a Canadian production called "Love Come Down." In the flick, produced by The Film Works and Conquering Lion Pictures, Deborah plays the role of "Niko," a young singer who helps a struggling comedian named "Neville," played by Larenz Tate ("Love Jones," "Why Do Fools Fall In Love").On the music side of things, Deborah has accepted an invitation to perform at this year's Cannes Film Festival on May 17 as part of a special benefit for the National Women'sCancer Research Alliance.
The latest single from "One Wish" is a song called "September," which was co-written by Deborah and producer Stevie J.
