During Diana Anaid’s hiatus from making records, she read spiritual books, looked after her dying father and bonded with her son. The five time ARIA nominated singer returns with vengeance on her fourth album “Diana Anaid”. The pissed-off songs like “Make Me Change My Name” and “Happy For Me” are as compelling as they are disturbing. This is her most radio-friendly effort, even more so than her international release Beautiful Obscene, which saw Diana tour in the States for two years supporting her radio hit Last Thing. Having begun her musical journey at the age of nine, and bursting onto the Aussie music scene in her teens with the bombastic I Go Off, Diana has grown in leaps and bounds on her new CD, with “Black Rainbow” and “Peace” strong on melody, and the anthemic Nothing Special” and “Get Your Freak On” seeing the earthgirl brat from Byron Bay embrace the alienated members of her audience. This is the best record Diana has made to date, more balanced than previous offers and filled with the honesty and cheekiness Diana Anaid is known and loved for. With a twelve year career, a legion of fans across the globe and critical praise for all her releases, Diana Anaid is a singer-songwriter to watch and admire.
