There are some question marks about “The Diamonds” part of her artist name which seems to suggest a band but when you go to her My Space page we get the impression she is a solo artist. Her influences according to her My Space include Vivienne Westwood and Mary Quant.

Interesting article that delves way deeper than we ever could here is at The Telegraph

The Verdict:

Quirky and kooky are this girls middle name with superb vocals and looks to match, this Welsh born singer the same as Duffy, is a breath of fresh air on the music scene, pop music this is probably not, but on a second or third listen the song grows on you but this is not for everybody. Vocally we can’t fault her at all, and musically she has a unique style that is hard to imitate, it will be interesting to see where this goes in the charts but at 2 months and a mere 26K views at You Tube she is a relative unknown and it will be a huge uphill struggle to get into say the top 10 even if it is top ten material, but we would liked to be proven wrong.Â Technically she is there ………Â Rating 3 and half stars out 5 just for the sheer originality and vocal talent on offer here!
