(Excerpt)

As far as I know, there is no female Christian rocker that sounds like No Doubt’s Gwen Stefani... until now.  Sonia V. is an indie chick rocker with spunk, emerging into the music scene with her first album, a thing or 2. 

The most impressionable attribute Sonia V. brings to the CD is her powerhouse vocal performance.  When I first popped her CD in the player and before I knew anything about Sonia V., the first thing I thought was, "Wow, this sounds just like Gwen Stefani... but weird, it isn’t Gwen Stefani," which is true.  If her bright red hair and her unique clothing style don’t catch your attention, her extraordinary vocals will.  

Sonia’s main message is that it’s ok to be yourself, which is a very positive message especially for the younger generation that's having to grow up in a world where identity is stressed as a product of appearance and success.  If you like to sing along to CD's, a thing or 2 will provide you with XX songs with clear, simple lyrics that are easy to catch on and sing along to. If Sonia’s trying to reach the younger generation and people who aren’t Christians, the lyrics fit well.

Sonia V. is a fabulous addition to Christian music.  Her style is unique to the industry and I give her a lot of credit for writing her own music and stepping out of the Christian music.

As a whole, a thing or 2 makes for a very enjoyable album, a great start for Sonia and an awesome addition to the Christian music scene.
