In her debut album, “We’re Not Done”, Diamá celebrates being a woman, being different and her Italian roots. Produced by some of Switzerland’s most innovative producers, one genius American producer, and her songwriting partner Jiameé, she delivers a flavorful body of work filled with her temperament and her unique tone. Heavy hip-hop and club beats meet an odyssey of electronic elements. Sweet ballads walk hand in hand with rock infused up-tempo tunes. Traditional Italian folkloristic sounds are updated into today’s pop culture universe. Every song is a very personal glimpse into the singer’s private life. Her own battles with mental health, her internal culture clash, the love in her heart and her battle with today’s music industry, build the many road that led to her first album.

The album is divided into four trilogies. Pop reigns the first one. In “Would You Be Mine?” her obedience and devotion is not what it seems to be. It is produced by Silicon Valley based prodigy Jason Grey, whose musical craftsmanship is simply impeccable in two architecturally structured tracks. He also produced “Thinner”, a song where Diamá processes her struggle to accept herself, while living in a world obsessed with body and image.

“Shine” is one of four songs produced by Blue Synthax, an Italian DJ/producer-trio based in Switzerland’s capital city. It features L.A. power vocalist Guy B, who co-wrote the track with Diamá, Jiameé and Trey Campbell. It describes the need to belong and how the same need can build bridges over distances.

Next is the most personal of the trilogies. In “Calling All Angels”, Diamá connects to her inner drag-queen. She feels very close to the LGBTQIA community. It is an anthem for those who feel different and are proud to be so. It features one of Switzerland’s most beloved and eclectic drag-queen socialites, Jazzmin Dian Moore.

In “I Just Wanna Scream”, a Blue Synthax production, she processes dealing with departures. It describes a defining moment in her life that almost destroyed her, when she lost her best friend in a freak accident. The song is a promise she made to him.

Softer sounds carry the next two songs. Andi Loser composed the very fragile “Fake Smiling”, a ballad that perfectly showcases Diamá’s vocal abilities and deals with secret or unrequited love.

“Mare”, the only Italian song on the album, is her own wedding song and dedicated to the love of her life. It also begins an Italy-themed trilogy. Pele Loriano, Swiss singer/songwriter/musician and producer, performed every instrument in the song himself. “La Mossa (The Brush-Off)” is produced by Patrick Marek. The song gives an insight into the life of a southern-Italian woman and how she ditches rude and unwanted attention. The song’s beat is an homage to the typical sound of Naples “Bottari”, a community of drummers in Naples who use wine barrels as drums.

“Good & Bad”, another Blue Synthax production, closes the Italy-themed trilogy and deals with a very difficult subject, which is “simply a reality” in the southern regions of Italy.

“Drivin’ Thru”, the last Blue Synthax production on the album, begins a hip-hop/R&B infused final trilogy. It is a devious break-up song, with heavy hip-hop beats and supreme electronic elements - A definite club-banger. The last two songs are again produced by Patrick Marek. “Is it?” is her homage to the 90’s R&B music. It explores how people we think we know, can suddenly change to an entirely different person.

The album closes with “We’re Not Done”, co-produced by Patrick Marek and Maffi Jay. It is the title track and a pure revenge song that contains a sample of one of Diamá’s biggest idols Amanda Lepore. All, except two of the songs, were produced in Switzerland. Nevertheless with her first album Diamá proves her international caliber. She doesn’t follow any trends and presents her own musical vision.

Fearless, fragile and authentic, but with no compromises. “We’re Not Done”!
