Another great songstress to send you off on a fabulous weekend adventure. Diane Birch, is as interesting as her songs. Channeling old world glamour, with nuances of hit makers from decades long gone, she's original and a very refreshing addition to today's music scene.
Here's an excerpt of her bio -
"Singer-songwriter Diane Birch took half her lifetime, and traveled
across the globe, to get to America, where she literally found her voice
and made her remarkable debut, Bible Belt. Though only in her
mid-twenties, Birch likes to think of herself as an “old soul,” and
indeed there is a startling maturity in her singing and a veteran’s
self-assurance in her writing. Hook-driven songs like “Fools” and
“Valentino” offer more than just instant gratification: they’re like
your new best friends – you’ll want to get together with them as
frequently as possible. Birch mixes piano-playing virtuosity with
easy-going soul, and she can strike an uplifting groove on even the most
melancholy tune. Her work bears hints of Laura Nyro (when she was
hanging out with LaBelle) and early 70’s Karen Carpenter (when she was
ruling the charts), while effortlessly incorporating New Orleans
second-line rhythms, gospel fervor, doo-wop harmonies, country-blues
guitar and classic AM radio-style melodies."
Listen to Bible Belt one time through and you're hooked. Let us know what you think?
