Welcome to Dave’s Diva Days 2024 from New York City! 1 city, 3 venues, 4 days and 8 incredible divas. Night 1 Sunday January 28th: Donna De Lory and Niki Haris at The Green Room 42 (42nd St and 10th Ave), which is a small cabaret style venue located on the fourth floor of the…
When I think “meditation album,” I think of monks ringing dinner bells, whales mating and Enya moaning. Alanis Morissette’s new meditation album, The Storm Before The Calm, is shockingly exactly that. I thought the diva who brought movie theater blow jobs to Top 40 radio in the 90’s might bring something new to New Age,…
2021 has been a busy year. I spent a large chunk of free time searching out new-to-me divas to follow like Babygirl, Taylor Alxndr, Girl In Red, and Litany. A few of my prolific divas like Donna De Lory, Paula Cole, Natalie Imbruglia and Tori Amos dropped highly-anticipated (by me) albums. Most surprising, Debbie Gibson…
The morning one of my divas releases a new album, I buy it and download it to my USB so I can listen to it in my car to and from work. This past Friday was no different when Donna De Lory released her new album, Gone Beyond. I popped it in my car and…
Donna De Lory, in my gay opinion, is one of those divas who can sing any style and make it sound good. Lately her go-to style is uplifting, new-age dance. That’s how she starts her new EP, We Shine, with “Diamonds In The Sun (We Shine)” but the rest of the EP branches out into…
It’s no secret that I’m a sucker for a six-pack. I’m also a sucker for new albums, but when my divas drop singles instead, I take what I can get. In my gay opinion, here’s six new singles that I’m a sucker for: I knew Alexander Jean was dropping their single “Nevermind” but was…
Since starting this blog back in 2014, I have done posts on Donna De Lory’s live album Live From Kula Space, her Two Friends EP with Niki Haris, and Welcome To The Dream Machine the La Machine De Reve’s album that she’s a member of. Instead of going all fangay and gushing further, here’s what…
This year started out with a dark cloud over it and each day the clouds seems to grow and blacken. Just when I think I’ve hit bottom, the floor drops out and I hit a new low. However, last week things started looking up when Donna De Lory announced that she released a new album…
Anyone who has seen Madonna’s Blonde Ambition Tour documentary Truth Or Dare is familiar with Donna De Lory and Niki Haris as her backup singers and dancers. Growing up as a huge Madonna fan, Donna and Niki were always singing backup to the soundtrack of my youth. They’ve gone on to perform with other singers and record their own…
Belinda Carlisle is one of the divas that I follow who is probably better known for being a member of a group (the historic Go-Go’s) than her solo career. However, in my gay opinion, her solo work is way more impressive. I’ve been following her career since she went solo with her single “Mad About You”…
