"She has emerged from the Canadian scene with a spellbinding voice... with boldly unique style and a vocal attitude of her own. Solnicki has been rightfully labeled a vocal purist with tremendous tonal control and naturally sings any jazz arrangement with relative ease.
Lara's voice is riveting, [she] brings a refreshing and exciting tone to each selection. With exceptional tonal control and her mastery of inflection, Lara Solnicki has without doubt, charted her vocal journey, affirming her position as a world class jazz singer.
