Her first album -"The Scale of Love and Destruction"- contains productions reminiscent of Bjork, Portishead, Depeche Mode and Massive Attack, and the haunting lyrics bring to mind Kate Bush, Imogen Heap and Stevie Nicks. She crafted this unique experimental sound with a chilled lounge vibe and floating vocals, undercut by effects that send shivers down your spine while intriguing lyrics reveal something darker.She has also released her songs as one half of production duo Kaleidogroove:"Kaleidoscope Visions"is a collection of varied genres and voices - ranging from funk to Latin House - all tied together by the rich and irresistable power of groove.Her most recent album -"Gin And Regret"- is a more stripped back project, featuring more acoustic instrumentation and having a more traditionally jazzy feel.Angela is also a soprano in the acclaimedMike King Collective, one of the UK's premier contemporary vocal groups combining soulful vocals, rich jazz harmonies and captivating performances.
