O’s Notes: Veronica Thomas is a singer that is new, yet familiar, with a great story and vocal chops to match! She’s joined by a fine band including pianist, producer John Proulx. This debut is actually her second release! She released her first album, Times Like These (82) in 2022 under the pseudonym Nica Carrington. She gained her confidence and is in full pursuit of music on They Say It’s Wonderful. A few bars into the opener “Almost In Your Arms”, and we’re locked onto Veronica’s slightly smokey, soulful voice. “Get Out Of Town”, “Invitation”, “Stuck In A Dream” with a nice piano solo from Proulx, and “Dindi” are some of the bests in a set full of show tunes.
