Diamante, the Boston-raised and Los Angeles-based Mexican-Italian-American singer with fiery blue hair, will release her second album “American Dream” independently on May 7, 2021. Pre-save the album here.
Diamante also has released a female-empowerment-themed video for her new single, “Ghost Myself.”
Diamante spent her teenage years cutting her teeth at local gigs on the Sunset Strip. A disciple of both P!nk and Guns N’ Roses who doesn’t fall into rock star excess tropes or even sport tattoos, she devoted every waking minute to honing a signature “hard rock sound with a modern alternative edge.”
Her approach caught the attention of Better Noise Music, which signed her in 2015. She hit the studio with producer Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Halestorm, Kelly Clarkson) to record what would become her full-length debut, “Coming in Hot.” Diamante undeniably stormed the scene in 2018 with a number one song at rock radio (her collaboration “Hear Me Now” with Bad Wolves), along with a top 15 song with her own single “Haunted.”
Three years later, and after extensive touring with bands like Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Chevelle, and Shinedown, Diamante is back. In 2019, she parted ways with Better Noise and reteamed with Howard Benson and Neil Sanderson of Judge & Jury as an independent artist to make her sophomore album, “American Dream.” Diamante capitalized on her newfound creative freedom and independence by being her own CEO throughout every facet of the album process. On working with Benson and Sanderson, Diamante said they were instrumental in “bringing my stories to life and pushing me to embrace my vulnerabilities.”
“With ‘American Dream,’ I was given the ultimate artistic freedom to express my most personal moments, stories, confessions, flaws, fears, hopes, mistakes, desires, vices, heartaches and redemption in a way I have never been able to in the past,” Diamante said. “Every word on this album is my personal diary screaming in your face. This album has no limitations, restrictions or filter, really. That’s why the music video for ‘Ghost Myself’ had to be equally raw and purposely gritty; it’s a song about being at war with myself. I knew there would be no better way to show this internal battle than through an underground fight club scene between me, myself and I.”
