Let Me Introduce You To: Lavender Diamond



With only one EP and one album, Lavender Diamond hits the stage and other areas to promote their new album Imagine Our Love

The album is not for the strong of heart. Actually, it's for those weaklings that can't get a break in love or a break in anything. Lavender Diamond's sound ranges in the sweet and the cuddly. Honestly, you will want to hug a teddy bear and write love notes to your boyfriend/girlfriend across the classroom.

That would be if you had a boyfriend/girlfriend to speak of after listening to the album. Although they have a cute sound, they promote the downside of love. That's breaking up and destroying the very life force of the one you love then stomping on their heart in steel-toe boots and mercilessly setting it on fire.

If I could put them into a category of my own creation, it would have to be something to do with "puppy love." The upbeat vocals of Rebecca Stark brings good tidings to a tragic world. With a byline like "Peace On Earth Forever," they are alluding to an imaginary place where Snow White always wins over the evil witch and she has 7 little people (trying to be PC) answering to her every want and need.

Let's watch the music video to understand what I'm saying. This is from their new album and it's called Open Your Heart



What I don't understand is the irony between singing so upbeat the destruction of love. However, I think this is the quirky thing about them. I have read some reviews and their accused of sounding too kitschy and will disappear in a few years. Yes, that can be true, but who wants to live in the future?

Lavender Diamond's new album has been released May 8th and I encourage you to listen to them in order to understand how they plan to bring world peace.
