The V : projet de Veronica Freeman (Benedictum)

[Mr. Sandman]

La chanteuse s'est plutôt bien entourée pour ce premier album de son projet :

Frontiers Music Srl will release Now Or Never, the debut album from Benedictum singer Veronica Freeman's solo project, The V, on July 3rd in Europe and July 10th in North America. The V marks a major step out of Veronica's comfort zone, since it delves into a definite melodic hard rock vibe.

Autre extrait :

[Everflow]

ça sonne bien plus 80's et hard rock mélodique que Benedictum, d'où le projet solo. On se croirait presque sur les albums eighties de Lee Aaron ou Lita Ford.
Pas dégueu, pas inoubliable non plus, voix toujours agréable en tout cas.
