Wanting to remain independent of record industry control Verity came up with the innovative idea of selling her album before it existed. Using the internet as her platform she created a website where people who became known as Future Owners could purchase her forthcoming CD, cutely entitledYet To Be. The punters also became part of her creative process by having a say in which songs, photographs and album sleeves were to be chosen. Sounds like a very clever marketing and funding tool indeed.

Pity then that the inventiveness did not completely spread to the songs. This is primarily a pop record. It is packed with mainstream radio friendly tracks that should delight those listeners who find their musical comfort through commercial and conventional soft pop. She has a lovely voice reminding one of Andrea from The Corrs and South African adult contemporary songbird Nianell.

Yet while the songs do have a positive energy and an uplifting factor, the self help sentiment gets a bit tedious after a while. "Shine" is full of it: "I'm going to take this day – I'm going to make it mine, I’m going to take this moment – and I'm going to shine," she sings.

While the adult contemporary soft focus stays the same throughout, there is a welcome shift in lyrical content late on in the album which breaks the monotony. On "Devastation" Verity moves from overenthusiastic rally calls about life and love to more real revelations: "And it seems loss is the only way we learn/Appreciate our bridges once they’re burned/Pain's the only language we seem to understand".
