Albums with other Artists


Through the Veils (1998) - click play button to hear sample

Enchanting, ethereal vocals...Inspiring poetic lyrics...and an intimate blend of piano, strings, harp and layered vocals. Through the Veils, an elegant debut album from vocalist/lyricist Unita, will take you on a very special journey of the heart and soul. Featuring the extraordinary talents of Joseph Akins and Herb Ernst (Bringers of the Dawn, Angels and Ecstasy). Think Enya meets Loreena McKennitt.

Unita's voice has been compared to Enya and Loreena McKennitt. No contest in my opinion. Her melodies are ravishingly beautiful. THROUGH THE VEILS is mouthwatering and soul-stirring. In essence, a gem, the real thing.
- Carol Wright, New Age Voice
