“VELVET & LACE” REVIEWS
“Absolutely stunning album...This is a warm melodic and haunting sound that mesmerizes the listener. The album is moody and engaging subduing the listener into its spell binding style... A breath of fresh air albeit a sexy sounding breath of fresh air...

“If you like smooth jazz with smoky, romantic lyrics- this is a delicate treat you can’t ignore... let the sublime charm of Velvet & Lace sweep you off your feet” - John Kereiff, BC Musician Magazine
“I listened to it with great enthusiasm. The music is very good and the voice is so special” – Bruce Lundvall, CEO, Blue Note Records
