This introductory CD of Diana’s music has been recorded simply and deliberately to showcase her God-kissed voice and the tremendous potential of her songwriting. Its poetic and melodic power shows great maturity
Sometimes, particularly in the world of popular art, creations whose intended application was advertising turn out to be so striking that they are worthy of framing and enjoying on their own artistic merit. Diana Pops self titled EP is such a work.
Originally produced to introduce new listeners to this young emerging singer / songwriter, Diana’s EP has the range, depth, maturity and sophistication of a full-on album project. From the opening, radio friendly ballad “Be My Love”, through the drifting jazzy melancholy of “63rd” and the tender folk of “Mary Janes”, Pops delivers one outstanding song after another. Anchored by Diana’s deft piano, a thoughtfully recruited cast of outstanding musicians contribute to a rich pastiche of sounds and moods, taking the listener on a journey that is one part longing, one part hope, two parts poetry, a dash of wisdom and a pinch of cynicism.
It all adds up to an outstanding debut. Listen deep. Watch closely. Diana Pops is just getting started.
