There’s something to be said about a producer who goes by the moniker Blood Diamonds and releases a track called “Lasting Love.” Exactly what that is, I’m too foggy brained to articulate, but I’m quite certain Leonardo DiCaprio could create a Powerpoint presentation about the negative connotations such a correlation carries. (Roughly revolving around how two thirds of the world’s diamonds are harvested from war zone countries then sold by their dictator to finance his regime. Then effectively, and rather poignantly, DiCaprio would point out how the diamond ring placed around a lover’s finger to signify ever-lasting love is stained with the metaphorical blood of thousands.) But I’m sure none of that came into play when Vancouver multi-instrumentalist Blood Diamonds put together this sonic electronic gem called “Lasting Love.” The audacity of his insensitivity! Stream the sparkling “Lasting Love” below.

This is Blood Diamonds’ second release for Pop Manifesto, following his more tropical “Feral Envelope” and “Aries.” Buy the single here.
