Praise for the album, “pink”

Forecast for 2010: Musicians to Watch (and Listen) For:  There has been a lot of buzz around this Hamilton-based jazz singer since her 2005 debut release …yesterday perhaps. Diana frequently collaborates with Canadian jazz heavyweights Don Thomson and Reg Schwager and has garnered critical acclaim for her work, along with nominations for both the Junos and the National Jazz Awards. With her latest release, Pink, Diana has put out a collection of well-crafted songs that highlight her soft, sincere vocals. In a time when it seems that every young woman with a pretty voice wants to become the next Sarah Vaughan, Diana stands out from the crowd.

[Pink] is an astonishing album of delicate strength and subtle emotional depths - and yes, swing.

Jazz chanteuse Diana Panton sets herself apart on Pink. Panton delivers the perfect balance of wit and heartache. She doesn’t just sing these classics, she understands them. That’s a rare talent and it has drawn three of the best jazz players in the country around her. Guido Basso (horns), Reg Schwager (guitar) and Don Thompson (keyboards) would follow her anywhere.

This is a wonderful recording by a beautiful singer. Her spirit just shines thru on every note she sings. [...]. She makes each song sound so real and her voice is like the sweetest bird you'll ever hear. Diana's a real exotic bird. Just lovely.  Sheila Jordan

Si la douceur avait un nom, elle s'appellerait Diana Panton.  "Pink" est un album absolument délicieux, magnifiquement réalisé et dont l'écoute en boucle amène un état de calme et de sérénité rarement expérimenté dans la course effrénée de nos vies contemporaines.  Merci trois fois, pour une voix magique, pour un choix de chansons uniques et pour des accompagnateurs musicaux absolument parfaits !

Une voix sensuelle, des standards inusables, bref, le troisième disque de la chanteuse [...] fera certainement beaucoup d’adeptes. Pour ceux et celles d’entres vous, pour qui jazz est synonyme de plénitude, douceur de vivre avec un brin nostalgique, courrez chez votre disquaire surtout en cette période d’achats.
