DAVID DIAZ

Independent Alternative/R&B artist David Diaz makes a huge impression with his latest EP "Neon Cathedral". Listen to this EP once. Then again. Then a third time to finally devour all of its components. The amount of genuine and honest emotions poured into this album is enough to have you feeling like you know exactly who David Diaz is.

David exposes the most real parts of his life throughout "Neon Cathedral", and it makes it easier as listeners to understand the true perspective of the artist. Featuring producers such as Jurrivh and Syndrome, "Neon Cathedral" maintains a similar atmospheric vibe all throughout, while also embedding contrasting elements of sound in order to accentuate the overall melody. David gets listeners thinking about a variety of intrinsic life experiences, which is what sets this thought-provoking EP apart from other alternative/r&B albums. We're excited to indulge in the EP itself and pick apart each aspect we favored at full-length.

"Intro" starts off David Diaz' EP, and pretty much sets the tone for how the rest of the EP will execute. We're introduced to that ethereal, vibe-like feel in terms of the production. Then, David's flowing vocalism effortlessly punctures the collection of synths. David's voice glides without effort, and will seamlessly capture your utmost attention. David has that exact type of voice that will stimulate and entrance listeners due to its hypnotic feel. The hypnosis of "Intro" will grab you and have you forgetting about everything in that moment--the only thing that matters is the sound of David Diaz in your ears.

The next track continuing on in the EP is "Bad Faith". Within this track, we get more of David and his vocal range. David easily showcases his vocal abilities within this particular track, as "Bad Faith" requires that dynamic vocal approach. Similar to "Intro" in the way of that ethereal and celestial sounding, "Bad Faith" maintains a divine element to it, where we almost felt overwhelmed with inspiration.

David Diaz continues this sense of inspiration and intimacy throughout "Losing Myself", the next track listeners are guided into from David's EP. "Losing Myself" possesses more of a personal feel, where David exposes his own vulnerable emotions to listeners. You can easily feel this level of intimacy with David, and it doesn't hint at any elements of fabrication. We get the real, peeled-back layers of David within "Losing Myself", and we get to hear his most private thoughts regarding his own perspective, and ultimately his own life.


"Blasphemer" featuring Armani Adames is the track of this EP that begins to shake up that common delicate and airy vibe we caught within the other tracks. The two artists are able to create a track that executes harmoniously, yet still leaving that predominant pop/R&B impression. "Blasphemer" undoubtedly has a strong lyrical component to it. David and Armani are able to leave an impactful message to listeners for this song regarding their own hardships and torment. We definitely felt that the two artists complemented each other heavily with all aspects incorporated into "Blasphemer", and we're excited to see if the two collaborate on any other pieces in the near future!

"Sinner" ends off David's EP "Neon Cathedral". We're particularly happy that "Sinner" is the track to end off this EP, as it really resonated with us here at BuzzMusic. "Sinner" felt a little slower and sensual than the other tracks. We love that aspect to David--his execution of the track and how he adds in those impressionable sultry elements. You can easily vibe along to this track on a mellow, laid-back night. We were impressed with the level of expertise going into David's EP, and especially with "Sinner". The track exceeded its own potential, and with it, David's potential as an artist sky-rocketed.

David Diaz gave us track after track that felt beyond personal, angelic, and most importantly authentic as can be. David Diaz is a name that won't be forgotten at BuzzMusic, and we can expect to see great things from David artistically! - BuzzMusic

Born in New York, 22-year-old singer/songwriter David Diaz is making his name known out of Florida. As an independent alternative R&B artist, his music is enigmatic and thought-provoking as it is heavily influenced by theories of existentialism, religion, spirituality, and human nature. Today, David is hard at work in the studio working on his debut EP, from which his debut single "Sinner" is taken.

“Sinner” features a mellow ambiance, a contrast between the layers and a leading melody that floats along in a sort of thoughtful R&B style. David Diaz is an artist working hard and fast to make a name for himself. His music has a partly nostalgic feel to it, it’s comforting, familiar, yet fresh. It also partly leans in a totally new and authentic direction. The beat on this single is a big part of what gives it so much character. It’s an upfront force of rhythm that you really notice throughout the experience. In addition to the musical strengths of “Sinner”, the concept is, of course, a crucial part of what makes a song connect, regardless of genre. The lyrics during the verses appear in a recognizable way, feeling relatable, addressing experiences of love and realness. The idea is presented subtly but surely, so by the time the hook hits, you expect it, you’ve anticipated it, and it satisfies in the right kind of way. David Diaz’ vocal tone and performance style presents “Sinner” in a spectacular and mesmerizing fashion. - BuzzMusic

“Sinner” is the second track to be released by the up and coming Alt Hip Hop R&B artist David Diaz who has brought the urban sound into a spacy new realm of dreamy reverb which is all too tempting to get lost within. Yet, the solidity of the Trap beat will be your rhythmic guide in this downtempo romantically steeped single, the beats also create the perfect synergetic platform for David Diaz’s smoothly sonorous R&B vocals.

There’s stark imagery to be found within the lyrics of Sinner, along with a potent serving of pious apology, but ultimately, it is the humility in the candid nature of the lyricism which will strike the most emotive chord. - A&R Factory
