Regina Bonelli’s voice and stage presence will not leave anyone indifferent. And if she also backs herself on piano with a careful reliability, we are facing an artist who will probably impress the audience.

All these qualities can be appreciated in this new recording with nine songs, where Bonelli dives in equal parts into the most actual blues and amazing vintage soul, with a result of a wild, passionate exciting album that communicates an intense feeling, especially when Bonelli lets her be carried away by her highest and most receptive ways of facing slow blues, as she does in the song “Cross To Bear”, a blues Regina develops on a bright immense way. To get this magnificent result she has devoted herself to work hard on these nine songs composition, which reflect the intensity, strength and emotional feeling she treasures when she wants to express her most personal feelings, as well as gathering along the whole album the same expressiveness she gives to her live shows.

Perfectly backed by The True Groove All-Stars with Tomás Doncker and James Dellatacoma on guitars, Mark Henry on sax, Leroy Thompson and James Sedge on drums, Kevin Jenkins on bass, Nick Rolfe on organ and piano and Artur Uronen-Gonzo on pedal steel guitar, Regina Bonelli shows she can be considered as a majestic diva.
