Reared on Motown backbeats,
70s groove bands, and gospel wails, multi-talented artist
Angela Johnson has a knack for creating songs that infuse
the classic elements of music’s yesteryear into a dynamic
and contemporary brew distinctly her own.
Her critically-acclaimed solo albums They
Don’t Know (2002 Purpose) and Got
To Let It Go (2005 Purpose) introduced Angela as a
soothing soul singer with a stealth, gut-punching alto and
a sensitive songwriter of deceptively simple melodies that
moved listeners from romantic sways to back-burning sweats.
Since her 2002 solo debut, They Don’t Know,
and its auspicious follow-up, Got To Let Go,
Angela Johnson has been making the kind of honest soul music
that has inspired promoters, music lovers and industry insiders
everywhere to make sure that everyone knows exactly who she
is. With the 2008 release of A Woman’s Touch,
interest in Angela’s music has exploded throughout
the music scene, from radio to industry bloggers the word
is out.
Even before A Woman’s Touch, Angela’s
talents as a singer, songwriter and producer have been in
high demand. With songs featured on HBO’s The
Wire, UPN’s Kevin Hill, FX’s The
Shield, and WB’s Roswell,
and a 2005 national TV advertising campaign with Cooly’s
Hot Box for SBCglobal.net (AT&T/Cingular)
already under her belt, soon everyone will be whistling an
Angela tune.
For the first time in Italy with a new gospel musical project.
