The powerhouse, show stopping rocker, Diamante, brought her American Dream Tour to Tucson. American Dream happens to be the title of Diamante's newest album. In 2019, Diamante reunited with the producers of her first album as an independent artist to make her second album. She was her own CEO throughout every facet of the album process. Her headlining tour is the tried and true method for every artist to present new material in an exciting way.

Phoenix local band, Eyes Set to Kill, opened the show to a receptive rocker crowd. Alexia, AJ, and Caleb gave their best before Diamante took the stage. She opened with "UnFuCk YoU" from American Dream. Diamante pumped up the crowd from the start with the fast, catchy tune. It was obvious from the get-go that the fans were very familiar with the American Dream album as they quickly caught on and sang along to the new songs.

Diamante entered the stage dressed in a black ensemble, very stylish, feminine, and gorgeous with unparalleled energy. Her seeming assuredness was very appealing to the crowd. Standout songs in the set included her cover of the Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris," "American Dream," and "Obvious." "Haunted" was also a fan favorite from Diamante's first album, Coming In Hot. "Unlovable" was sung with a calming presence.

"I Love Myself for Hating You" seemed to be a nod to Joan Jett, one of Diamante's absolute heroes. She discussed how she was highly influenced by 80s classic rock in a recent interview. Joan Jet, Pat Benatar, Stevie Nicks, and Debbie Harry were high on her list major influencers loving the grit in their voices.

Diamante effortlessly caressed and moved all over the stage while making sure to make eye contact with many of the fans. Make no mistake, Diamante delivered full-bore vocals with fist pumps and arm waves during the revived-up tempo throughout the set as she interacted with the audience.

Many of the delighted fans stayed after the show to meet and greet Diamante for autographs and photo ops. Diamante was just as appreciative as her fans as they connected with the multi-talented singer. Diamante's talent and fearless passion will take her far in today's unpredictable music business.
