Daby Touré - Diam
Review by Jon Garratt
Daby Touré's album Diam is a stunning showcase of the artist's talent and versatility. The album weaves together elements of West African music, pop, and rock to create a unique and captivating sound that draws the listener in from the very first track.
From the upbeat and infectious "Oma" to the hauntingly beautiful "Yafai," Diam is a masterclass in songwriting and musical composition. Touré's voice is a standout feature of the album, with its rich, soulful tones carrying each song effortlessly.
The instrumentation on Diam is equally impressive, with Touré demonstrating his mastery of multiple instruments, including guitar, bass, and drums. The album's production is clean and polished, allowing the songs to shine through without any unnecessary distractions.
