Some of these tracks have gotten some good notice and acclaim. "Fickle Mind" won a songwriting competition, while "Placebo" earned honorable mention in another one. Heidi's been quite a hit on emerging artists site Garageband.com, where some of these tracks garnered her multiple "track of the day", "track of the week" and other kinds of popularly awarded honors.
If you are fortunate enough to catch the Canadian sitcom "Robson Arms" on TV, that's her rendition of "These Boots Are Made For Walking" that has been playing on it the last couple of episodes. "Play My Game" is scheduled to get some airplay on an upcoming episode in the coming months.
There's more about Heidi McCurdy and her music than what I can fit into this space; for the curious, there's always her informative website. For those looking for mature, modern adult contemporary music, this could very well be the best artist they never heard of. For those record labels paying lip service to signing artistry and craft over disposable, bubblegum pop, here is your chance to put your money where your mouth is.
Track listing, with mp3 samples:
2. Fickle Mind
6. Play My Game
7. Placebo

ALRIGHT ! I just checked this girl out, she is amazing, what a refreshing change. Even though the critic compared to her style to a number of different people, she sounded very original to me and the people listening around my desk. Give her a record deal!! What a talented songwriter, arranger, performer and more. I hope I get to hear her live at some point.

Diane, I'm glad you agree with me, thanks for the comments! And yes, she is indeed an original; I was just trying to provide some touchstones that readers can latch onto. But the best way to get a feel for her music is to listen to it, which you wisely did.
And I appreciate the forward, Connie :&)
