I always enjoyed watching the behind-the-scenes footage and I was lucky that our cable provider used to carry MNET channel. After listening to him singing the track, it subsequently made me want to connect with other fans and I found one through Heinz' site. It was several years back and it was unfortunate that we've lost touch.
Album Thoughts

The freshman album had a unified tone throughout which was interesting because even with the slower tempo songs, it still felt the songs were connected with the following song and so on. I don't think I've listened to something like this from my respective favorite artists from their own freshman albums. So that little difference made buying this album that cost me two arms and a leg (joke) and finding an appropriate courier to deliver it to me, worthwhile. Although after seeing my credit card bill afterward, I'd say, Ouch. Lolz.
Where was I? Oh, some thoughts. The album gave me a tip of a diversified range of music styles to tickle my modest musical palate. Also, I've noticed that soloist can easily have a signature prevailing in their tracks. For Heinz, I didn't find it yet. Maybe my ears are not that trained or I was practically in Cloud 9 every time I listened to this album. Anyway, just by the tracks, the vocals were varied that added flavor. It wasn't over the place too. I don't know if for his second and third album, his signature style of singing has exerted itself.
Rate: 4 stars out of five
The Tracks
Next Stop To Happiness An upbeat song that suggested the person have been striving for all opportunities and finally it paid off and the person's on the fast lane. This is the first song off the 12-track album.
The Way It Is A mid-tempo song about love's dying embers and what it would take to keep it.
