Grammy® and Tony Award-Winner Heather Headley announces her new CD, Only One In The World, slated for release on September 25, 2012, featuring new songs penned by Headley, R&B hits, familiar favorites and a cut from the upcoming production of The Bodyguard: A New Musical in which Headley makes her London West End debut this fall. The highly-anticipated CD project is released by in:ciite Media and its distribution partner EMI-CMG Distribution.
“I’m incredibly honored to play Rachel in the musical version of The Bodyguard, but I’m also really excited to bring the new music to my fans on my upcoming CD,” said Headley. “I wanted to record songs that are inspiring and uplifting, songs I love singing, and I hope my fans enjoy the variety of songs that I put together for them on Only One In The World.”
Produced by Paul Mills and Keith Thomas, Only One In The World includes a collection of R&B tracks, inspirational songs, and original songs from Headley. Whitney Houston’s famed song “Run To You” from The Bodyguard also featured in The Bodyguard: A New Musical wonderfully created in Heather Headley style along with other well-known favorites such as “River Deep, Mountain High” and “Superwoman” all showcase Headley’s powerful vocals. “Home,” famed by Dianna Ross in The Wiz, and “The Reason” are stand-out covers on the CD.
“In addition to the well-known songs I recorded, the CD also features a few new songs, which I’m excited to share,” said Headley. One new song, “A Little While,” touches the heart of Headley’s admiration for her own mother and her handling of a tough family moment, Headley’s own brother, Iric Headley, Jr., co-wrote and produced the bass driven R&B track “Hey Mama,” which truly reflects the extension of Headley’s uncontainable talent. She adds to the beautifully constructed timbre of songs, with the soaring duet, “Because You Need Me,” performed and written with the star of The Voice, Chris Mann.
“Heather is an inspiring and amazing talent who has the heart, passion, and talent to move an audience whether the songs are live or recorded,” said in:ciite Media CEO Chris Thomason. “We are honored to be a part of this milestone project in her career which will translate to her entire fan base of Broadway, Gospel, and R&B.”
The 12-track CD features three never-heard songs from Headley, which includes “Bring Him Back,” “A Little While,” and “Only One In The World.”
