“I Wish”
Heather Headley
From the EMI Gospel CD Audience of One

This may seem a little early to predict, especially since her “Jesus Is Love” with Smokie Norful is the current chart riser, but Heather Headley’s “I Wish” has the potential to be one of the top inspirational songs of 2009. Shoot, it may well end up being one of the best songs this year, in any category.
Ostensibly a lullaby sung by a mother to her child, “I Wish” is driven by a lovely melody surpassed only by the beauty of the hopeful message. Headley’s wish is for happiness, love, wisdom and understanding. It takes on special meaning on this Martin Luther King holiday and the eve of the inauguration of President-Elect Barack Obama.
A treat for the ears, the heart and the soul, “I Wish” is a perfect reading by a consummate artist.
