No Regret CD Reviews
SONGSALIVE "RAVES" ABOUT BONADIES "Bonadies is a breath of fresh air in the saturated realm of adult contemporary artists. The songwriter has lived long enough to exude wisdom, but writes words with the innocent eyes of a child to offer hope amid loss, peace among chaos, and love among the lonely and forgotten."

you have a great feel for the classic pop song. I’m sure you’ve been compared to Carole King many times but I’ve just gotta say it again. This is quite a compliment, of course! Strong, well crafted songs in the Carole King/Billy Joel pop style. Solid vocals and outstanding musicianship.
CD BABY
I love your “No Regret” CD so much I’m going to feature it on the FRONT PAGE of CD Baby for a few days. We’re REALLY PICKY ABOUT WHAT GOES ON THE FRONT PAGE. We get about 75 new albums a DAY coming in here now, (about 30,000 total), and yours is one of the best I’ve ever heard.
REVIEW: "Perfect adult contemporary soft rock that explodes right from the first track. Tapping into the work of Carole King, Karen Carpenter, Jann Arden, Elton John and more, her music flowers with a clear, distinct and committed sound - her songs proudly sing out with conviction, push ahead with a solid and “I know where I’m going” sentiment. Built solidly on thumping piano lines that take the lead through the harmonic textures, endowed with her vocals and plenty of rhythm and guitar, “No Regret” is an album that catches the ear, no matter which track you start with." (Tamara Turner of Cd Baby)

HEAVEN MAGAZINE, The Netherlands Translated by Peter van der Sluijs
“I heard Doin’ time, the marvelous opening track of No Regret from Linda Bonadies...a beautiful uptempo piano riff combined with a strong swinging track marked with Big notes as HIT! Also several other tracks, like Buried alive, Undone at the Seams, Soak Up the Rain and Our Town brought with their passionate, open chords and surprising melancholic turns....the quality of her songs and her passionate recital even then stay at an extraordinary high level and that she absolutely can be called a welcome addition to the modern music, and at least as a songwriter can score high in a commercial way of speaking.”
GREAT INDIE MUSIC

From one musician to another, all I have to say is that you kick ass Linda. I love every single song on your album. However I must admit track 5 "Boys Will Be Boys" is a number one selling hit. Keep up the great work Linda on your songwriting and music. Hope to see you one day on the Grammys.
