Didi has spent her savings recording the album. Coming close to the end of the process, she’s crowdsourcing funds for the record via Pledge Music, with donations entitling fans to some pretty cool perks, including exclusive access to videos, mp3s and photos.
“Reverie came to be through years and years of writing, living in Los Angeles, going through crazy things and writing about them,” explains Didi in a video posted on the album’s pledge page. “It’s like pages from my diary.”
Producer, Billy Mohler found “a culmination of Didi’s favorite, sounds, favorite artists” in order to create a unique sound for the singer. “I think this album is special, because it really highlights Didi as an artist.”
“I think a lot of people would be prepared to hear some sort of blown out pop record,” adds Mohler. “But they’re not going to get that with this record.”
You can donate to Didi’s efforts to bring Reverie to fruition.
