Everything on “Aphrodija” is polished to standard, making it clear that there’s more Di’ja to come. Extended Play – AphrodijaArtist – Di’jaRecord Label – Mavin Records (2017)Duration – 21 minutesThe problem with Di’Ja isn’t that she doesn’t have talent. It’s simply the application of it that has prevented her from soaring. You could feel it manifest in bits and spurt, feel it rear its pretty head in some records. And when she performs live, it flourishes.But it hasn’t grown to the level that is expected of it. That anticipation to see Mavin Records singer bloom and thrive is slowly giving way to resignation, but she isn’t letting it happen. Prior to this album, 2017 has been a slow year for Di’ja. Her three singles, ‘Air’, Oh Radio’, and ‘Wan chop’ carry with them a diverse range of sounds. But none of them has stuck, penetrated or dominated the mainstream scene like she would hope for it too.But that hasn’t stopped her.
