Release Notes:
For sublime vocalist Heather Headley, her second studio album, In My Mind, the
torrid follow-up to her Grammy nominated debut, This Is Who I Am, is the kind of
soulful, sonically charged diary where lessons-learned meet musical purpose
accomplished, grabbing the listener at its mesmerizing center of gravity, which
just happens to emanate from the one and only Heather herself. "What you hear on
this album is not only me, but my willingness to take you places even I've never
been before." In other words, move over multi-award-nominated, critically
acclaimed debut - because the new one is everything you'd expect from the
accomplished Heather, and more - a superb mix of soul, dancehall, exquisite
balladry and fire breathing gospel that proves the agile Heather can not only
wrap herself around a song, but also throw her arms around the entire recording
process.
"I'll admit that making the first album, This Is Who I Am, was a little daunting,
the whole process being an educational experience for me," says Heather.
"However, on this one, I set out from the start to map out musically where I
wanted to go. I knew what I wanted to hear. It's not enough to say 'I want to
sound like me'. You have to know 'who' you are, and choose material and write
lyrics that reflect that. No pun intended - but in my mind I knew from the start,
even from the first album - I couldn't sing what I didn't feel. What's great is
that the feelings were just racing out of me. There's still so much I have to
say."
