Prior to her solo career,
Angela was signed to Geffen Records and toured extensively with her band Wild Colonials before joining French electronic trio Telepopmusik�with whom she wrote and recorded Breathe as well as Don't Look Back which is sampled heavily by
Kendrick Lamar for his track Is it Love? Her dance track In The Air, with
Morgan Page, went to number #1 on the Billboard Dance charts and she also collaborated with Electro Swing king
Parov Stelar on Don't Believe What They Say and
Paul Oakenfold on the dance track You Could Be Happy.
The Roxy Sessions features a wide range of styles and genres from vintage
James Bond themes and surf guitar vibes to post-modern space age chill outs. Songs such as Paris to Hollywood, a bright & breezy carefree inter-continental romance, Hit & Run, a trippy groove laden gem, Turn Out the Lights, a modern take on Bond and Electric Sky, a cinematic monster of a chill-out track, round out this album.
The idea for The Roxy Sessions was inspired by
Angela McCluskey�s Time Warp, an event
Angela created where she chooses a decade and recreates a night around that theme. After recording a track for the HBO hit show Boardwalk Empire,
Angela was inspired to do a 1920�s themed night, complete with the music, dancing, costumes and ambiance of a Paris Cabaret. Fully embracing the decadent nostalgia of the Prohibition era, the event was an enormous success.
Angela and her producer Kiran penned 10 original songs at the Roxy Hotel in 3 weeks. Using the roaring �20s as inspiration, the pair added a modern beat and fashioned an addictive blend of electro swing that propels listeners to the dance floor in a feel good frenzy.
Many of Angela�s previous works have been chosen for placement in major studio films, hit television shows and high profile national ad campaigns. Her distinct sound and talent is striking and eminently memorable. Angela�s voice and artistry has enhanced and accompanied images from: HBO�s Boardwalk Empire, Nike, American Express, Mercedes, ESPN, MITSUBISHI, Chicos, Fox TV�s
Empire and countless more�
Of The Roxy Sessions,
Angela recalls �In many ways, the theme of the album was inspired by the events surrounding it. It is a record that celebrates coming through it all�the success, the failure, the heartache and despair� and finding yourself being a little less dramatic about love and intent on just enjoying your life and being thankful for what you�ve got� and that�s something worth celebrating.�
THE ROXY SESSIONS will be released on
September 9th.
Angela and her band will be performing at the THE ROXY HOTEL in NYC through
September and then heads to Los Angeles on
September 30th for a very special night at The Troubadour.
