Blues Blast Magazine             Review 



                   

Inspired by early Blues and R&B legends of the 60's and 70's, Regina began singing and playing piano at the tender age of five. Ten years later, after picking up a guitar, she was performing. As the years went by, she had two children and raised them on her own.  Life and love gave Regina more than enough inspiration to sing the blues. Her new single, "Don't You Put Your Hands On Me" is already being broadcast on radio stations both in the US and abroad. The original song, produced by Tomas Doncker and James Dellatacoma for True Groove Records, tackles the issue of domestic violence and is in advance of her upcoming album. It  features Tomas Doncker, Michael Hill and some of the county's premier musicians. She also wrote the songs, both music & lyrics, on her stunning debut recording "Open Up the Door."  Bluesman Michael Hill produced and played on the record. This collection of tunes represents modern blues with a ton of soul and storytelling at it's finest.  The album was a #1 Pick To Click and featured in the "Rack Of Blues" on Siriusxm BB King's Bluesville radio and is still receiving airplay around the globe. Regina's scorching vocals, songwriting and keyboard playing are garnering worldwide attention.

"What a voice!" 

  BluesMagazine NL, March 2016​


​  "a beautifully powerful voice...well-crafted lyrics from her own pen...a smoothly powerful voice is witnessed here. She also possesses piano and organ skills. This my friends is a definite keeper."  

      Blues Blast Magazine , July 2015


"Ms Bonelli has a knockout voice, looks and songs."

     Big City Rhythm & Blues Magazine,

      July 2015


"Not only is she blessed with a stunning voice, she is a very capable lyric writer and musician. Listen to Regina on her brand new album. She just has too much talent for the music world not to take note."

"Her latest single on True Groove Records "Don't You Put Your Hands On Me," proves there is nothing more attractive than a strong woman...Regina's singing is so thrilling...they ride a terrific lick, Regina wrote the song along with two legends: Tomas Doncker and frequent Regina collaborator Michael Hill) all the way through...Regina has some Etta James in her delivery and the shouts of "no more"  during the cods sure explains where the hurt and anger belong!"

   Rockliveandrecordednyc  Sept 2017


"The latest single release by R&B powerhouse vocalist Regina Bonelli, of Brooklyn , NY finds her unleashing a forceful attack on abuse directed at women.  The raging musical support underscores the seriousness intent of her message. The slide guitar and guitar of Michael Hill (Michael Hill's Blues Mob) and Tomas Doncker. along with the relentless drumming of Whoop Coley, Mike Griot on bass and Nick Rolfe on Hammond B3 supply the necessary firepower.

Regina clearly remains a musical force to be reckoned with. She manages to hand-pick players that match her musical vision to a "T." This tune is a preview of her soon to be released album. If this is any indication, more relevant music is in store for us. Be sure to catch her live show, as she is a ball of energy.  I had the pleasure of seeing and meeting her at the Riverfront Blues Festival in Wilmington, Delaware this past summer."
