HEATHER HEADLEY - ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD

Grammy® Award and Tony Award-Winner Heather Headley releases her latest CD, Only One In The World. The CD, which bows today, features 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 in Whitney Houston's role, Rachel Marron. Only One In The World is released by in:ciite Media, distributed by EMI-CMG/EMI Distribution.

Here's what people are saying about Headley and Only One In The World:

"I met Heather Headley at an evening with David Foster, and the minute I heard her voice I fell in love with it! A rich, powerful voice, with an extended range and full of sentiment ...From that day we started working together, singing duets in several concerts. And I discovered in Heather, behind a great singer ... a great person! I hope this album touches everyone's heart. And, from the bottom of my heart, I wish her the best of luck!" - Andrea Bocelli

"My writing partner and I are honored that Heather chose the song to sing on her own CD, and she truly made it her own!! No easy task, but she did it with flying colors." - Allan Rich, writer of "Run To You"

Produced by Paul Mills and Keith Thomas, the 12-track CD includes Whitney Houston's famed song "Run To You" from The Bodyguard, featured in The Bodyguard: A New Musical, "River Deep, Mountain High" and "Superwoman." "Home," made famous in The Wiz, is a beautiful reflection of Headley's love for the Broadway stage. "A Little While," is inspired by Headley's admiration for her mother, and Headley's brother, Iric Headley Jr., co-wrote and produced the R&B track, "Hey Mama." "Because You Need Me" is performed and written with one of the stars of The Voice, Chris Mann.

Born on the Caribbean island of Trinidad and the daughter of a pastor, Headley started singing and playing piano in church at a young age. Since, her multi-faceted career has been a blessing. Headley won a Tony Award in 2000 for best actress in a musical for her role in Aida and originated the role of Nala in Broadway's The Lion King. In 2002, her debut album, This Is Who I Am, was nominated for two Grammy® Awards, and in 2010, she won a Grammy® in the best contemporary R&B Gospel album.
