With music both raw and honest, Starlie Diamant paves a direct path from the heart. The singer-songwriter’s unforgettable melodies and poetic cadence have garnered much recent attention across the country.

While holed up in the Hudson Valley, he captured a series of spontaneous performances the likes of which have not been heard since the Basement Tapes, blending elements of Americana, folk, rock and soul, with indelible melodies, introspective lyrics, and a vocal style all his own.

Starlie's new LP, Looking Glass Planet, showcases his versatility as a songwriter and performer, introducing a heavier sound and bold sonic experiments. While his previous album, Vinegar Road seemingly sprung spontaneously out of the folk and roots tradition, from the down home, road-tripping opening track “Vagabond,” to the anthemic “Rise Up Again,” to the dreamy, redemptive “Lorelei,” it takes a journey through Starlie's vast musical world. His music has been praised for its emotional power and depth, penetrating lyrics, and soulful vocals, drawing comparisons to artists like Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, and Radiohead.
