Angélique - Revisited

Neo Soul Singer Songwriter Angélique releases second album “Around the World in a Groove”

Los Angeles, CA October 12, 2006—

On the heels of her very successful independently released debut CD “Angélique”, Around the World in a Groove is the sophomore effort for multi-lingual (French, Spanish, English) neo soul singer-songwriter-producer Angélique.

Accompanied by stellar backing singers and musicians, Around the World in a Groove is a musically diverse, infectiously rhythmic groove album that will strike a chord with countless demographics.

CD Highlights:
1. When You Gave Your Word is a funky, hip hop groove with driving bass and clavinet riffs that address “blah blah television playas” who lie, beg and cheat. It features Alabama rapper TJ showcasing his “dirrty south” skills with singer-actor Michael Kostroff (The Producers, The Wire) on backing vocals.

2. Perfect for Urban Adult Contemporary Markets, Cornbread, Beans & Rice is a laid back, summer in the park track with Angélique reminiscing about a lazy Saturday with her “boo”

3. English/Spanish Soca flavored What is Hip? questions whether smoking ganja and video looks are required to be acceptable or hip.

4. A long time fan favorite in Angélique’s live show, Loved and Left Again is R&B at its best; searing vocals, lush harmonies and a smoking rhythm section.

5. Funky clavinet driven  What Would You Do (If You Had My Family) drops a heavy dose of true-to-life reality on the effects of verbal abuse and neglect to an innocent child.

6. Bird of Beauty is a Zouk inspired version of the English/Portuguese Stevie Wonder classic.

7. Multi-formatted Sherockafella explains how a confident girl with hips like butter and thighs like cream can have a man panting like a dawg!

8. You Said is a Latin-tinged mellow groove that probes the hopes and disappointments of loving someone just not that into you.

9. Performed in French and English, Reggae ballad I’ll Remember tells the aftermath of the soul-wrenching joys and sad nostalgia of a lost love.

10. Written by Belgian chanteuse Maurane, Fais Soleil is performed entirely in French, with a happy Latin Jazz twist.

11. Destined to be a classic ballad and currently featured in Sundance-bound film Dickie Roberts, True Colors has the right elements of a timeless ballad: emotionally riveting and deeply personal, the haunting lyrics and sweet harmonies echo the heartbreak in her voice.

12. Here To Stay finishes the set with a rock-flavored dance declaration that Angélique is HERE TO STAY!!!

Reviews/Quotes
"Swinging from neo-soul through a diverse net of global influences, this project shows another layer of heart and class every time you spin it. She's clearly centered in classic r'n'b, and her songwriting shows humor and muscle even with Brazilian and techno dabblings. But she doesn't stop there. I've seen Angélique deliver these songs live. She is not only a consummate performer, but one who has transformed her survival tales into resilient epiphanies. Kelly Rowland and the like will probably go on unemployment leave when Angélique gets on their stage".
Johnny J Blair, singer-songwriter/producer, Fire Inside-Davy Jones

"Just to let you know y'all, you need to have this great CD in your collection. This singer is so great. I can't wait to see her live. For all music lovers, no excuse to not have this CD right now on your CD players".
Gi Dussault, co-producer of "The Upper Room with Joe Kelley"

“Hot S***!!
Linda Mac, Luver Radio

The music is crisp, precise and enjoyable, Her voice carries you from tune
to tune effortlessly almost dreamily. Most cuts are an amazing blend of jazz funk.
Flawlessly performed, easy on the ears and soul. The lyrics are sensitive and well
written. All in all a truly enjoyable auditory experience but don't take my word for it.
Hear it for yourself... I give it 4½ mic out of 5!''
Claude Gagné, K.L.O.D. Ezine

"Her dedication, professionalism and constant positive energy are rare qualities and
Angélique is blessed with an overabundance of all of those qualities".
Angelo Roman Jr. Founder/Executive Producer Singer's Showcase

''She struts, she wails, she bends, she falls down on her knees she activates the crowd,
she even talks to you personally, all while driving the pulsating music into your blood''.
John Bitzer, Music Connection Magazine

''At all times her performances were both unique and above standards,
She has caused promoters and producers to personally call to appreciate my suggestions
urging them to hire Ms. Angélique''.
Tye Tyrell, Agency Representative, Network Talent

''Well-Rounded Radio Pick of Well-Rounded Radio''!
Charlie McEnerney, Producer, Well Rounded radio.net

Wow! What a mixed bag of delights!. She's not only a lovely voice but nice words
and in more than one language too!
Julian Dyer heart of soul.co.uk

“I Love Cornbread, Beans & Rice”
Carolyn Fox, KHZ Radio Los Angeles

(On Cornbread, Beans & Rice) “Nicely done!. Really nice groove & rhythm,
(hats off to all the players). Melody is fluid, easy going & catchy. What really stands
out is the lyric.  I love the use of often paired foods to describe the complimentary nature
& perfect fit of the relationship (you can’t think of one w/o the other!). It’s a delicious mix. The cherry on top,  so to speak is the rich vocal.  It certainly captures the mood-sultry & seductive along with pure joy.  Well done! Music lovers won’t be disappointed”
CM,  Director A&R Taxi

“Good record! Good Songs! Wonderful voice! Great band!
John Ziegler, KUMD Radio Duluth

“Angélique is a talented performer, singer and songwriter and I heartily recommend
Around The World In A Groove to all audiences”
Mike Shadowsky, President & CEO, Y3K Entertainment

“J’adores Angélique”
Renaut Rigard, Zoopa Loop Music France
