"An accomplished debut, full of lush, well-arranged tunes...more personal than the average singer songwriter, emphasizing her strength and experience as a performer." --Johnston Farrow, THE COAST

September 2005 marked the release of Norma’s solo debut, a rootsy little gem called Nothing is Where it Was. The album was recorded at Ultramagnetic Studios in Halifax and was co-produced by Charles Austin (Matt Mays, Joel Plaskett). Her folk influences are evident but are given some edge with hints of rock and a bit of twang. The writing is primarily inspired by the intricate workings of human relationships. Whether it be a waitress dealing with a difficult customer (“Annaline”) or the musings of a couple who have lost there way in a strange city (“Lost in Boston”) Norma attempts to embrace the idiosyncrasies that keep us from ever fully understanding each other. The songs are delivered with a voice that is powerful but fragile, evoking emotion from unexpected places.
