    Her voice is like an old friend you haven't seen in a long time, her lyrics are beautiful and the sound it's just perfect.

    She works her voice perfectly, how she play with words making it sweet to perform is beautiful. One of the greatest live singers I've ever heard.

    It’s a wounding, life-affirming ride.

    Some patience is required, but if you embrace the slow burn, Cusp will slowly reveal itself to you; the bright harmonies covering Diane’s darkest lyrics will come crumbling down. And when that happens, all you can do is listen--in awe of the beauty born from personal pain.

    These 11 songs are unashamedly informed by her maternal role in its varying facets of joy, growth, complexity and, on the self-explanatory So Tired, exhausting labour. But it also ranges more wildly. [Mar 2018, p.107]
