As well as the Mercury Music prize nomination, Terri Walker was also nominated for four MOBO awards and the album was critically acclaimed with the BBC’s Denise Boyd proclaiming “she has captured the heart of classic soul and blended it with a modern R&B flava. The result is original and uniquely her own.” One of the refreshing aspects of Untitled is that it is not full of collaborations – instead at its heart is the immaculate voice of the artist with strong songs and positive, uplifting lyrics. “Guess You Didn’t Love Me“, which does features Mos Def was a notable coup for a debut album.Born in London, Walker moved to Germany as a child returning to study at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts in London.
