It’s remarkable how in the new millennium you can listen to new music that could have been written in any decade of the second half of the 20th century. The songs of hugely talented Dianne Birch take us back to the classic soul-pop of the 70s, flirting with the sound of Motown, the beautiful jazzy melody of Joni Mitchell and the playfulness of early Elton John. You may have recently seen Diane on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, or heard her new single “Valentino” (here’s the video) as a Song of the Day on NPR. Her voice is a treat – if true talent is what you’re after, don’t miss her show at Highline Ballroom on June 1st.
