Born in Michigan, daughter of a preacher, living between Zimbabwe, South Africa and Australia, before her parents finally settled in Portland, Oregon, Diane Birch absorbed a unique and cosmopolitan perspective on life that shines through her music and makes a simple categorization of it impossible. Now with the release of her critically acclaimed first album Bible Belt, a hit on iTunes from the initial release, we can see the culmination in a mix of sultry, soulful, and moving sounds.

You automatically feel transported back to the songs of Carole King, Linda Ronstadt and Stevie Nicks, but add in a little Joss Stone and Cat Power. Bible Belt is only her first record, but it’s one of the most accomplished albums you’ll hear all year. From the opening track “Fire Escape” to the closing “Magic View,” Diane’s stunning voice is mesmerizing.

Written entirely by Diane, Bible Belt was recorded in New York City and New Orleans with an impressive team of Grammy-winning producers: S-Curve Records founder Steve Greenberg, soul legend Betty Wright and Mike Mangini, in their first project together since producing Joss Stone’s first albums.

The good news? We are giving away Diane’s Bible Belt Album on Buzz!
