Heather Small - Proud (CD 2000)

I first heard Heather Small on the M People song PROUD. WOW!!!! What a song. It is one of the rare songs that you can take to mean so many different things and each of them would be correct. Personally it moves and inspires me to do more for the Climate Crisis we are having globally. The song ask "what have you done today to make you feel proud?" I try to do something each day to answer that song by either helping someone or doing something for the environment. The song challenges me. I hope it awakens something in you and challenges you. The rest of the album isn't fodder. Ease Your Troubled Mind is as good of a relationship song as you are going to get. The rest of the songs are of varying subjects and her strong soulful voice makes you feel each and every note she sings. With all the attention being made today for sugary insipid music that Beyonce' and others are putting out. It is refreshing to hear Heather Small sing it big, sing it loud, sing it Proud.
