Madi Diaz has a gift. The LA-based artist is one of those singer-songwriters capable of drawing you in and extracting massive emotions from you with just an acoustic guitar and her own voice. Diaz pours the deepest parts of herself into her songs in ways that, coming from some people, might be off-putting. Under her care, confessionals that might otherwise be Too Much instead become magnetic. It was true of last year’s Weird Faith, and it remained true on “Feel Something,” the lead single from new album Fatal Optimist.
