Nicole Henry (http://www.nicolehenry.com) will raise funds for breast cancer research aimed at prevention and a cure with a unique “pay what you wish” campaign. Now through February 15th, 2012, fans can buy her acclaimed new album, Embraceable, and set their own price. In return, the Miami Beach-based vocalist, who has been compared to such legendary performers as Sarah Vaughan, Natalie Cole, and Whitney Houston, will donate 25% of the purchase price to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation®.

To download the album or purchase a physical CD, fans can visit http://www.facebook.com/NicoleHenryOfficialFanPage and set their own price. (The minimum price for a digital download is $3.00, or $5.00 plus shipping for the CD.) The CDs can be purchased as gifts and delivered to your valentine.

Taking an approach like this is unique for an artist of her caliber, but Henry felt it was a great way to share her music with a wide audience and raise money for charity at the same time. Embraceable is such a soulful and romantic album – the perfect Valentine’s Day soundtrack – that it lends itself easily to a February fundraiser for a cause that touches so many people’s lives.

“Valentine’s Day is a time to express love for one another. For me, music is about expressing love for life. This connection and this effort to raise funds and awareness serves a reminder that we can use our love to change the world for the better,” said Henry. “There are so many important organizations that are enacting social change, funding medical research, and of course, supporting the arts. On this holiday, I felt that supporting the fight against breast cancer was a perfect choice.”

About Nicole Henry

Nicole Henry’s Embraceable (ArtistShare) finds her applying her sublime vocal skills to a captivating set of songs encompassing impressive new originals, covers of some ’60s and ’70s classics, a trio of vintage jazz numbers, and even a Christina Aguilera tune. The material is delivered in a variety of musical settings that range from expansive orchestral arrangements to spare acoustic performances. The album matches Henry’s distinctive voice and abundant charisma with a stellar musical cast that includes saxophonist Kirk Whalum, pianist Gerald Clayton, guitarist Julian Lage, harmonica virtuoso Gregoire Maret, and GRAMMY®-winning arranger Gil Goldstein and was produced by GRAMMY®-nominated producer Matt Pierson (Jane Monheit, Joshua Redman).

Embraceable’s 13 songs include Henry’s open-hearted reading of “Just a Little Lovin’” (originally made famous by Dusty Springfield), her exotic take on the Brazilian favorite “A Day in the Life of a Fool,” and her sultry reworking of Bob Marley’s “Waiting in Vain.” Henry also dips into pop-standard mode to deliver memorable renditions of “Like Someone in Love” and of course, “Embraceable You,” while finessing a smooth groove with her next single, “Since I Fell for You.” Henry also shines on contemporary material, such as her gospel-flavored original “A Little Time Alone.”

Growing up in a musical family in Bucks County, PA, Henry was inspired by such artists as Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, and Stevie Wonder. Now noted as one of the jazz world’s most acclaimed and respected young vocalists, Henry has earned three international top 10 albums, numerous accolades, and a worldwide reputation as a beguiling live performer. “I’m happiest when I’m in front of an audience,” she stated, “connecting with people emotionally through music.” Nicole Henry is currently on tour; for a list of dates, visit nicolehenry.com.
