Review by Patrick Harte

Armoire is the third album released by the American singer and multi-instrumentalist Diggs Duke. The album, released in 2019, showcases Duke's musical versatility and his ability to blend different genres seamlessly.

The album opens with the track "Drive Her," a soulful and groovy tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, Duke takes listeners on a journey through jazz, funk, R&B, and even classical music. The tracks "Beyond the Years" and "Icarus" are standout examples of Duke's ability to incorporate classical and jazz elements into his music.

One of the most impressive aspects of Armoire is Duke's vocal range and control. He effortlessly transitions from smooth and soulful crooning to powerful and dynamic singing. The track "Forever Love is Tainted" is a prime example of this, as Duke's vocals soar over a funky bassline and jazzy piano.

Throughout the album, Duke's lyrics explore themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. He tackles these themes with honesty and vulnerability, making the listener feel as if they are right there with him on his journey.
