Acclaimed by Billboard as “one of the great entertainers of the day,” Tony award winner and multiple Grammy nominee Heather Headley makes her triumphant debut on the EMI Gospel label with the most personal album of her multi-faceted career, Audience of One, recorded with Grammy award winning producer Keith Thomas. Following critically acclaimed performances on her certified gold debut CD This Is Who I Am (2002) and her second album In My Mind (2006), Headley now returns to the gospel roots that became the foundation of her career singing as a child in her father’s church in Barataria, Trinidad.

I Need Thee Every Hour/Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus/I'd Rather Have Jesus
Absolutely Stunning| Posted January 22, 2009
After hearing "He Is" and "In my Mind" on her previous releases. I decided to purchase AUDIENCE OF ONE, especially seeing that this was a gospel release. The album opens with Heather singing "I am a Christian, do you know what that means/ it means I'm far from perfect, but simply redeemed." I was hooked onto every word from that moment on.
One of the singles is a cover of Lionel Richie's "Jesus is Love." Although I prefer the original, Heather's intensely melodic voice makes this version a worth keeping in heavy rotation on the iPod. Other gems are praise and worship songs that many will be familiar with such as "Here I am to Worship" are "I Need Thee Every Hour." For me "Running Back to You" brings imagery of the prodical son. It reminds me of the time I felt unworthy to be back in the grace of God, but yet He welcomed me.
