Download Now: "Something Else"-Diamond Rings


If you've visited us before, you'd know that we have been big fans of Diamond Rings(John O'Regan) since his infancy. We were instantly captivated by his first single "All Yr Songs" and mesmerized by the NBA jerseys that filled the accompanying video. Now, John O. is back with his debut album, Special Affections, which is filled with 10 tracks that I will now coin as Bedroom Polaroid House.

The album is filled with many gems, but Special Affections' standout track is clearly "Something Else." With a killer homemade beat and a super catchy guitar riff that reminds me of New Order's "Ceremony," Diamond Rings' admiration for a special someone comes off so sincerely with that mild lisp that accentuates many of his lyrics. There's a serious innocence that fills all of John O's vocals throughout the album that makes it extremely difficult not to like Diamond Rings and Special Affections, so it should come as no surprise that his music and eye make-up are currently garnering so much buzz. Bedroom Polaroid House, FTW!
