"Born in Croydon, but raised in East London and Essex, Diamant expresses raw emotion and sincerity with her vocal prowess and poetic lyricism."
"The Black Belle Dual-Tape is the second volume of Diamant Ballou's "Dual-Tape" series consisting of 2 tracks Wonderboy (A-side) + Black Belle (B-side). This project is a narrative inspired by traditional West-African folk-tales and personal experiences and interpretations of romantic love in today's society.
"I wanted to tell a love story and explore my feelings towards innocent infatuation evolving into an experience that forces you to begin the process of accepting your flaws in order to accept the flaws of people you are connected to intimately."
