“Molly Thomason has already published two albums, Through The Static (2009) and the brand new Beauty Queen (2011), and she’s seventeen. But the most amazing thing is the quality of her songs. Her lyrics are deeply clever and her sense of rhythm and melody makes me think her future as a songwriter will give us incredible music jewels. She experiments with sounds and styles looking for the right sound for each song, but also experiments with her own vision of life, dressed in a magnificent pop sensibility and a maturity further beyond her age. “All Down the Highway” is the opening song of an album that shows beauty in its real sense. Her music is life at the “Speed of Light”.”
“CTV Section Six Molly Thomason is too young to be this good! “I had a great time meeting Molly Thomason. The 17-year-old Maritimer is making quite a name for herself in the music world, having scored 2 ECMA nominations this year… not to mention a ton of other music nominations over the past couple of years!””
"This CD from Thomason delivers 12 compelling tracks all providing an interesting snapshot & thought provoking wisdom with messages that are uplifting & positive. From passionate “Zombie Song” to heartfelt “My Amy” & “Icarus” to upbeat “The Girl who Always Comes Back” & Heroes” to soothing “Trouble” to the sassy title track this CD pretty much has something for just about everyone. The CD ends with “Speed of Light” the perfect finale statement for a catalog like this." Cyrus Rhodes, June 2011, Muses Muse http://www.musesmuse.com
“ "On a second album before finishing high school, this precocious Nova Scotian holds little back. Her vocal style is free-range, in the manner of a young Van Morrison. Following a couple of exuberant opening numbers, “Amsterdam” is soothed by Ruth Minnikin’s accordion. Thomason’s lovely voice is allowed to soar, warble and moan in a nurturing setting provided by producer Dale Murray. The title song has a top-40 groove that Thomason subverts with theatrics. The Blue Engine String Quartet poshes up “My Amy (Miami).” With a sexuality that’s ambiguous but ever-present, Thomason’s the rawest thing on the album, as she should be."

““…. this… just doesn't seem like a debut CD. It seems like it should be in a collection of a seasoned recording artist who's been doing this for years. Writing love songs is only going to get more complicated when the girl is old enough to drive.””
““…..Thomason’s debut CD.....delivers an assured set of compositions that’s true to teenage experience while showing articulate dexterity in her lyrics…she possesses a truly fine voice that’s full of character and drama….The volatile mixture of youthful energy and talent can’t be cont”
