If you've never heard of Angela, it shouldn't be long. At only 21 years old, the young Belgian has made a more than promising debut. Born into a family of artists (her father is a singer, her mother a comedian and her brother a rapper), she is much more than a new face in the francophone pop landscape. The proof by 5.
She has a crazy talent
One title. That's all. Angèle released a few days ago her first song, Murphy's Law, and it was enough to raise her to the rank of artist to follow very closely. And for good reason: a voice as soft as velvet and enough audacity to mix the languages of Shakespeare and Molière. For her entry into the big leagues, it is with a title between pop, electro and a touch of r'n'b that she presents a universe already well built.
She is the sister of Romeo Elvis.
And she weighs almost as much as him in the rap game. Indeed, Angele does not exactly come out of nowhere. A few months ago, we discovered a complicit and moving duet with J'ai vu, from the album Morale 2 of his big brother Romeo Elvis. Since then, she has worked with Caballero & JeanJass on the title Ma Story, and is opening for Damso right now.
She's beautiful
With her youthful bangs, she has this adorable boil to whom one would give the good God without confession. Unlike too many artists today, who force on makeup and light outfits, Angèle is content with the minimum and does in simplicity and discretion. And frankly it feels good.
She's funny
So take a look at his Instagram account. It is a gold mine of self-mockery, between photos of atypical couples, punchy covers and videos to the thousandth degree.
She's cooler than you'll ever be
She had the nerve to start her solo career with a title that claims that everything that needs to go wrong is bound to go wrong. Moreover, the clip of Murphy 's Law is colorful, vintage and contagious and assumed optimism. Forget high heels, low-cut dresses and sophisticated hairstyles: Angèle is on stage as she is in the city, armed with sneakers and a denim jacket. Her first studio photos, she made them with spaghetti on her head and she has a strange passion for otters. In short, she has the spontaneity and playfulness that we dream of assuming. Hard to do better.
At the age of 21, Angèle is, without a doubt, the French-speaking revelation of this end of the year. And beyond her undeniable talent, she puts at her feet everyone she meets and is the freshness that pop needed so much.
