Win it! Diane Birch is one hot new singer whose 1st album just released this past week. She’s so hot and really the “next big thing” that on the very day of her release it was in the Top 10 downloads of iTunes. We’re thrilled to giveaway a copy of her album to a lucky reader compliments of the One 2 One Marketing Network.
I had the pleasure to meet Diane this past March at SXSW in Austin, Texas at a private concert for Walmart’s 11 moms. Truly, her music was stellar and I liked it upon my very first listen.
Since I’m not very musical myself, I’ll leave you with the official take as I’m not sure how to “analyze” her tunes to give her the credit she deserves. Really, her songs and lyrics will just about give you chills.
Here’s the official info on this lovely young gal:
For singer-songwriter Diane Birch, music was a refuge. Although Diane was born in Michigan, her childhood was spent on the move as the daughter of a preacher, living between Zimbabwe, South Africa and Australia, before her parents finally settled in Portland, Oregon. When she was in her early teens, Diane absorbed a unique and cosmopolitan perspective on life that shines through her music and makes a simple categorization of it impossible.
The result? Diane Birch sounds like an old favorite, with all the sparkle and magic of a breakthrough talent. People says she sounds like a combination of early Carole King, Linda Ronstadt and Stevie Nicks, with a little Joss Stone and Cat Power mixed in. Bible Belt is only her first record, but it’s one of the most accomplished albums you’ll hear all year. From the opening track “Fire Escape” to the closing “Magic View,” Diane’s stunning voice is mesmerizing.
Written entirely by Diane, Bible Belt was recorded in New York City and New Orleans with an impressive team of Grammy-winning producers: S-Curve Records founder Steve Greenberg, soul legend Betty Wright and Mike Mangini, in their first project together since producing Joss Stone’s first albums.
