Despite our perpetual loathing for the Vickers during her ascent to the final 4 of X Factor back in 2008 , her emergence as a bona fide pop princess has been something of a quiet revelation.
Diana has already followed in the footsteps of fellow X Factor 2008 alumni JLS and eventual winner Alexandra Burke by scoring a Number 1 album and single back in April. On repeated listen to her Songs From The Tainted Cherry Tree album , Vickers voice and infectious pop melodies make her one of the more credbile acts to emerge from the reality television monster.
Follow up single " The Boy Who Murdered Love " is in a similar vein to its chart topping predecessor. Infectious , lyrics about killing and murdering coupled with her at times irresistible Dido-esque vocals , this is epic , modern , forward thinking pop. A highlight of her debut opus , this should consolidate her as new UK pop female force to go head to head with Pixie Lott. With a slew of festival dates pencilled in for the summer expect Diana to be around for some time. And dare i say it , lucky us
RATING - 8/10
