Reimagining classic songs from a bygone era is a hip-hop staple which harkens back to the days of sampling breaks as the backdrop for MCs. Cplus is an artist working through the Marilyn Monroe anthem to materialism "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend," in a way that not only makes the song an original but also turns the blatant selfishness of the 1953 hit squarely on its head. Cplus's song is more critical of an era obsessed with friend requests, Instagram likes, and the constant pursuit of ignoble paths. Complete with beautiful harmonies and a soft/gentle contemporary RnB voice it will be interesting to see how well this tune plays out with a public who could very well be counted amongst those the song is critiquing.
