Darian Cunning, of Stratford, Conn., is a natural storyteller, taking the simplest subject matter to a conversationally poetic level. ... Cunning uses language to transcend the mundane and make it tantalizing. It takes a special gift to work a potentially objectionable subject like foot odor into a love song without falling flat or becoming tragically humorous. Subject matter runs the gamut from young love and beat-up old cars to more socially conscious material. Musically speaking, Cunning concocts a groovy R&B flair peppered with jazz and pop sensibilities....With a voice reminiscent of Stevie Wonder, Cunning croons and scats over warm and mellow rhythms like a pro."- T. Lagerstedt, The Fairfield County Weekly

Though her playful and humorous approach dominates her performances, this newcomer intelligently breaks the rules and is bound to be taken seriously.
