"The slower tempo of the songs on The Rear View was not intentional," Diamond shared with ROCK THE BELLS. "I actually recorded more songs than those that made the final cut, but I wanted my vocals to shine through and be heard clearly. In hindsight, that may have been a premise for the laid-back feel of some of the songs."
The new album which was one of ROCK THE BELLS' 10 favorites of 2022 features Posdnous of De la Soul, Westside Gunn of Griselda, Ashtin Martin, Stacy Epps and KP, took about two months to record between New York, L.A., and Atlanta, with engineers Believe and Amond Jackson.
