A velvet celebration of life’s splendour. Linda Diaz is a New York-based singer-songwriter who elegantly fuses gentle soul melodies with an intoxicating R&B sound. She was the winner of the 2020 NPR Tiny Desk Contest, and rightfully so. Linda’ voice comes across as so effortless that her music almost sounds instinctive. Her new single ‘Blessed’ is a brilliant example of her mesmerising sense of style. 

‘Blessed’ is a warm, smooth track about being grateful for what someone has. Through the support of those around her and her undying self-belief, she becomes capable to overcome any anxieties or struggles. The accompanying music video is beautifully lit with an evident emphasis on deep hues and simplicity. 

This is reflected in the track’s production with luscious pad sounds and crisp percussion. This atmosphere marries perfectly with Linda’s delicate vocals to form an irresistibly catchy hook. This song is a desperately needed reminder of the importance of remaining grateful, and for that Linda, we are.
