Cattaneo has a wealth of experience in the entertainment word, excelling in a broadcasting career that has netted her some very high honors. But, all along, she was honing her craft of performing in area clubs. As this disc shows, she’s more than ready to take that next step.

Her vocals are very much at the forefront of this album, with her sounding as confident as a rock star on the energy-filled “Let The Music Deliver Me.” Other high-octane cuts include “Spare Parts” as well as the exhilarating title cut.’

She definitely saves the best for last, though. “Better Day” sparkles the brightest of all the cuts included on this collection. She layers the song with a very earthy vocal approach that makes the poetic lyrics come to life. I would dare say that she is on the right track, for sure!
