​

“On her latest album, she consistently proves her ability to craft deeper and more intricate prose.

"Diana’s a rock ‘n’ roll firecracker… a totally passionate one-off'" Michael Smith - Rhythms

​

"'My Queen' has all the heartache, wit, poetry and honesty of her most well-known work."  MJ O'Neill-TheMusic

​

"...wistful and edgy, rebellious and arty, relentlessly creative..with an amazing voice." 100% Rock

 
"The spirit is honest, heartfelt and pleads with listeners to, well, listen.." MusicLove 

"The Australian equivalent of Alanis Morissette, the alternative rock/pop on display is world class." OverDrive

​

 "The feel of "My Queen” is one of homage to the great female rock albums of the 90’s dragged dazzlingly into 2017. " Monte Famous Mondays

​

 “…enough radio-friendliness at play to threaten a real crossover to the mainstream.” Shane Pinnegar

​

 “It might have been 20 years since Diana Anaid kicked down the doors with her debut single, I Go Off, but the years haven’t dimmed the effusive energy- My Queen rocks! Diana practically bursting out of her skin as she reaches that much further, higher, deeper trying to express the idea, the emotion.” Michael Smith

​

“It’s a bold vision to encompass, but one suited to an artist of Anaid’s pedigree. Her command of rhythm, lyric, and melody are as strong as ever on My Queen, whether it’s on the heartsick ruminations of Cant Apologise or the ruthless Wish You Well. Better Girl holds completely true to the album’s modus operandi- if you told me that it was released anytime between the 1970s and today, I wouldn’t bat an eyelid.” HappyMag

​

"With acoustic in hand the beautiful singer/songwriter sang her way through well-constructed songs about life, love, ups and downs and everything in-between. Coming across as the Australian equivalent of Alanis Morissette, the alternative rock/pop on display is world class." Overdrive Mag 2017

​

“First up, the wistful and edgy, rebellious and arty, relentlessly creative Diana Anaid delivered a set of tracks from her new album My Queen and older favourites, relying solely on her acoustic guitar and amazing voice.” 100% Rock Mag 2017

​

“Diana Anaid has a powerful, emotive voice that she used to full effect, accompanied by just an acoustic guitar. She had an unusual upbringing as the youngest of three siblings to a single parent, her itinerant, hippie father, and that nomadic semi-feral upbringing influences her feminist anthems. As the opener for Adam Ant, with her up-tempo folk-rock anthems she certainly ‘went off’, commanding the respect of the crowd.” 

​

“..a powerful, emotive voice..with up-tempo folk-rock feminist anthems.”

​

“It's pleasing to see some Dandy Highwayman-inspired fashion on bods milling around Palais Theatre tonight. Diana Anaid performs solo on guitar to open and displays impressive multi-tasking skills when she shares the inspiration behind Perfect Family, keeping perfect time while simultaneously playing this song on guitar. At song's close, Anaid dedicates this catchy number to the guy who made the video, saying it was great to see him just before this show after so many years. I Go Off is more manic than we remember it. Poor Anaid tells us she has tonsillitis and is "singing through it" as best she can.”

​

“Diana Anaid was up next, shes been around a long time now. I remember hearing stuff years ago and thinking she was very much like Ani DiFranco, I didn’t get that last night. She has found her voice and it is one of a kind. It was a great performance. “
