The sweet country-tinged vocals of Sarah Darling have an uplifting effect on us mortals at Just Listen To This. Now, a new single has been released…

Sarah Darling has released her new single ‘Diamonds’ and it is out now. The single is her second released in 2018, following the soul-stirring single ‘Wasted’ this March.

As with ‘Wasted’, the new single was inspired by real life events and has deeply personal significance for Sarah. Through her masterful storytelling ‘Diamonds’ holds a tone of relatability for the listener… as Sarah puts it, “the song is a reminder that life is a journey with a lot of ups and downs. It’s the struggles that bring out the beauty. I’ve been to the bottom and literally had to pull myself back up, and I’m grateful for the whole adventure, not just the fun glittery parts. I think of how many wonderful things just need a little time and patience.”

Sarah’s musical output in 2018 has been pushing her beyond the realms of country, and further developing her sound. With pop sensibilities and clear-cut hooks creeping into the mix, fans have been delighted that Sarah has managed not to lose the cordial nature of her lyric writing, and the gravitas of her stories have not lost their weight.

Enlisting some of music’s brightest minds for this release, ‘Diamonds’ was recorded at state of the art Starstruck Studios in Nashville. The single was written with Jessica Sharman (songwriter for Ward Thomas), produced by Mark Bright (Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban) with additional mixing from Ash Howe (1D, Dido, Ellie Goulding) and mastered by Nigel Walton (Biffy Clyro, Bloc Party, Richard Ashcroft).
