Heather Headley was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best New Artist. "I Wish I Wasn`t" was nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.
The first solo album from Heather Headley, who won a 1998 Tony for her performance in Tim Rice and Elton John`s AIDA, is slick, contemporary urban R&B with just a hint of her native Trinidadian background. Songs such as the sizzling album-opener "He Is" and the sultry "Always Been Your Girl" demonstrate her range, while the after-hours appeal of "Nature of a Man" is undeniable.
There`s little trace of Headley`s theatrical roots save in the variety of moods she`s able to conjure, and she makes the crossover from stage to recording studio seem almost effortless. While she`s obviously more at home with the balladry of songs such as "Fulltime," the lighthearted pop swing of "Sunday" is a charming hint of what she may be capable of on future outings.
