THE STARS COME OUT FOR ANGELA
New York singer-songwriter-producer ANGELA JOHNSON excels on her first all-star ‘producer’ album, featuring a truly stunning guest line-up including Eric Roberson, Rahsaan Patterson, Maysa, Gordon Chambers, Julie Dexter, Marlon Saunders and Frank McComb.
Although she has two Dome albums to her name as a vocalist and musician, this album elevates her to another level, showcasing her skills as a producer and as a string and horn arranger. Titled ‘A Woman’s Touch Vol 1’, it’s released on February 11 (Dome CD 91) and as a download via iTunes.
There are so many stand-out tracks, notably the Eric Roberson house track ‘Let Me Know’ and Frank McComb’s undeniably hooky ‘Play’, as well as Maysa’s ‘More Than You Know’, Rahsaan Patterson’s ‘Dream Flight’ and ‘Here I Stand’ featuring Claude McKnight of vocal group Take 6.
The last song on the album ‘Amal’ features Ernesto Abreu, who was a founder member of Cooly’s Hot Box, the New York band with whom Angela began her career in the Nineties.
Congratulations to Angela Johnson.
‘A Woman’s Touch’ has gone to No 1 on the Solar Radio Sweet Rhythms chart.
