Vaneese (Van-EESE) Thomas is not only blessed with a deeply soulful singing style, but she also has the unerring ability to turn her thoughts and feelings into emotional statements expressed in song – in this case, in her latest album, very appropriately titled Stories In Blue. Thomas has created a musical odyssey on her ninth album that tracks the essence of her music. It’s also a tribute to her multi-talented approach: Thomas’s name is on every song, she co-produced the session, plays piano on the pensive “Wandering,” and, of course, graces us with her marvelous voice. The seven-song set of original stories in blue is filled with powerful music and gorgeous vocals, all of which reflect a lyrical journey from the origins of the blues to the final bars of a joyful gospel song. The tracks also serve as a sampler of the multiple musical talents of Thomas – she’s very much at home working in styles from blues to R&B to jazz to gospel.
