Maria’s new album will be available at Hermann’s!

Emmy Award-winner Michael K. Leader describes Maria’s voice as “meticulous in phrasing, delicate in dynamics, and possessing an almost transparent quality that reveals the true beauty of music.”

There is a delicate elegance to Solena’s nostalgic songs; it bubbles to the surface on “Before The Night Is Done” and the Latin-tinged “Hold Me Tight. “She demonstrates her ability to merge an unhurried, tasteful approach with contemporary flair, creating arrangements that feel both classic and refreshingly modern. Light without being insubstantial, soulful, romantic and full of genuine promise. ~ All About Jazz

This was absolutely brilliant, and I loved the entire approach, aesthetic, and overall soundscape that this created because it’s not often that you come across an artist that is able to pull together such a vintage and classic tonality so well with such well thought out, lyrics, tones, sounds and everything else. ~ Rag Talent

In the pantheon of contemporary jazz singers, few embody the poise and artistic devotion of Maria Solena. Her latest offering, “The Dream,” recorded at the prestigious Greenhouse Studios in Vancouver, BC, stands as a radiant testament to her skill as both an immaculate vocalist and an introspective songwriter.  ~ Skope
