This series is dedicated to artists I've discovered because of Tidal's personalized mixes. I've been introduced to quite a few artists I'm sure I wouldn't have been exposed to otherwise. I know I'm late to some of these artists and songs, but the goal is to bring awareness to those who have not yet been exposed. Let me know what you think!
On this week's edition of #Tidaltaughtme, we have the absolutely GORGEOUS Diamond White and "Cleopatron". I thought that I had never heard of Diamond, however, after I did my Googles, I realized I was familiar with her, just not her "actual" music. The 21-year-old was a recurring character on Season 6 of the now-defunct Fox Television show "Empire" as LaLa. Upon further research, I discovered that the Detroit native appeared in Disney's "The Lion King Musical" and on the X Factor in 2012. Diamond White is a seasoned actress, and her talent is a far cry from the timid, almost whisper singer she played on "Empire".
A prime example of this talent is the single "Cleopatron". The confidence displayed in this song is exemplified by the hook where Diamond belts out; "And he drunk on me, drunk on me, STUCK on me, drunk on me, I know that he is". It's obvious that she is comfortable in her skin, but then I saw the video for the song, and while it is minimalistic, it shows a few different shades of #Blackgirlmagic, while chilling with her girls. I'm kind of mad that I'm 3 years late to the party just discovering this song, but I've been playing it non-stop and I CANNOT WAIT for this pandemic to be over so I can blast this in my truck during the summer. According to Diamond's Instagram page, she's promoting her latest single "(F**k) What I Need" which seems to be available on all other streaming platforms besides Tidal. If you decide to go check Diamond White out, let me know what you think in the comments below.
