New Music Review - ‘Diamond in the Blue’ by The Raddlers
The Raddlers released their fresh wave in the form of Diamond in the Blue a month ago on March 10th 2023 and it has been pulling some straight numbers on streaming services. PC: Fran Scrimgeour.
It has been quite a while since we've had the honour of hearing anything new from The Raddlers, as the five lads take on different directions, changes and challenges in their own lives, however, they are back after releasing their previous smash, Follow Me and my goodness, are you in for a treat if you’ve not yet had the gracefulness of this tune tickle your taste buds.
The Raddlers are known for their pop-indie vibes usually, so their newest offering, Diamond in the Blue is quite a bit edgier than the previous tunes that you’re used to and I love it.
The Raddlers have had many trials and tribulations since starting their journey as a band, which you may recall if you read the very first interview published on the blog back in June 2021 (which you can read here), however, they’ve come back in crashing through what we all thought we knew about them to bring us this super song that will leave you wondering where they’ve been hiding these fantastic new, fresh hooks they’ve challenged themselves to put out.
The pouring splash of what Diamond in the Blue is all about is seemingly the direction that future songs from The Raddlers will be all about. Their openness of not only their music, but life is a breath of deliciously warranted excitement.
Diamond in the Blue brings about thoughts that we are all thinking, such as “is there anything positive in the news?” to which I feel that we can answer an astounding “no” to unfortunately, which is a sad reality of what the world is currently looking like.
I admire the honesty that The Raddlers provide, whether that be in terms of the songs they write or when having a chat with them. They offer you what’s on their minds and because there are five of them, you get all unique sides to differing topics.
Diamond in the Blue, while not meaning to, does sit quite heavy on the heart if you take the time to engage the lyrics into your mind. It’s a tell-all, enhancement on what the universe needs to hear currently and I am all for those moments.
If you’re in the mood for feeling some slight moodiness, pop on Diamond in the Blue, soak it in and let yourself be enthralled with the nature of this direction The Raddlers have taken. Diamond in the Blue is beautifully constructed with perfect measurements of every instrument entwined into the song.
