HESTON Releases New CD, “Warm Human, Cold World” | WATCH New Music Video, “My Kinda Lady”
HESTON possesses one of those rare, “instant classic” voices laced with confident sensuality, informed by the best side of mellow 70’s soul. Nostalgic, yet very much his own style, HESTON’s music is beautiful, lyrically refreshing, vocally and melodically unique, timeless, rich and soulful. His 2008 independent debut album, Storyteller, was critically acclaimed internationally and possessed an exceptionally well-composed body of original songs written and produced by HESTON.
On Warm Human, Cold World (World Soul Music/Dome), HESTON’s sophomore album, the Atlanta-based artist is unabashedly romantic, allowing listeners to enter his most intimate spaces and thoughts. Here, the shy, singing boy who once fearfully trembled behind his church’s podium is now revealed as a sure-footed, hot-blooded man clear about what he wants and how he plans to get it—be it his internationally respected music career or securing a passionate, solitary love.
Born on the Island of Dominica (British West Indies), singer/songwriter HESTON grew up with music all around him. Being surrounded by reggae, pop, classical, soul, R&B, rock music was commonplace. So, it is no surprise that radio, along with a collection of his father’s records, would open the key to his soul and love for all types of music –From Barbara Streisand to Aretha Franklin, The Bee Gees, Marvin Gaye, Elton John, Beres Hammond, Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson (to name a few) — as evident in his music.
