Well Done - Rich and Sultry - A Sweet and Smooth Gospel-Jazz Experience - are the buzz words used to describe Veronica J's album, Along Your Journey. Cincinnati-based singer and songwriter, Veronica J. Dubbed a ‘Hidden Treasure’ in the inspirational gospel-jazz arena, her incomparable vocal style is best described as rich, sultry, and overflowing. Ms. J’s flexible vocal range flows freely and effortlessly from bass to soprano. Throughout the album she sings both lead and background vocals.

Mixed and mastered to perfection by Bill Gwyenne (Group Effort Sound Studios, Erlanger, KY), the album features edgy phenomenal string licks by guitarist Mark Williams (Press Towards The Mark Productions). Seven rich and sultry-jazz melodic tracks, all written by Veronica J, take listeners on a smooth encouraging ride that captivates the mind, ministers to the soul, and soothes the spirit. Songs like “You're Worthy” and “Well Done” stir the spirit. The lyrics are inspiring and thought provoking. Jazz-driven melodies and meticulous instrumentations are heard throughout. Ms. J’s compositions range from sweet melodies to the powerful jazz arrangement heard on track seven, “Life Must Live.” Where she explores and expands, jazzin' it up here and there, scanting eloquently and smoothly.
