Diamante shows up on the Chord Progression podcast today with her newest album, American Dream, as the great centerpiece to this episode. Diamante shares what it was like to make this album independently, what her mindset was in terms of creating the album she wanted to, and how working to earn a degree in business administration helped her with the release of American Dream in real time.   Plus when we dive deep into the album, we see how the album shows a growth of Diamante's overall style. We get some of her classic anthemic hard rock style, some ballad tracks to show a softer side, and some pop rock sounds that sound like Taylor Swift went rock and drank a Stone Cold Steve Austin can of whoop ass and put it into a track. One more thing... taco cannon?
