Angeline Morrison - The Feeling Sublime EP (2013)


Already familiar to fans of Freestyle Records acts Frootful and Lack Of Afro after supplying her memorable voice to tracks by both, as well as working with masters of the mellow; The Ambassadors Of Sorrow, Angeline Morrison's ability to craft subtle, yet very catchy melodies infused with folk, bossa nova, R&B and jazz rhythms and textures ensures her music sounds fresh, engaging and highly original.
Now signed to Freestyle Records as a solo artist in her own right, the music that Angeline creates has an ethereal, other worldly quality, due in no small part to the wide ranging styles and influences that inform her highly individual, quirky, song writing and vocal abilities. Stir in elements of 60s torch song style, hypnotic, exotic and eclectic melodies, and you begin to understand the myriad of musical textures Angeline blends into a homogenous soundscape.

As a taster of what's to come from her forthcoming album 'Are You Ready Cat?', this 4-track EP displays her eclectic and skilful style. The Feeling Sublime is simply a lush, exotic, hip swinging bossa nova number, Fool's Gold hits the soulful, bluesy groove that's tailor made for dance floors, Perhaps In A Little While is a touching and introspective piece that drips heartache and pathos, and Are You Ready Cat? is a toe tapping, 60s style pop-soul groover with swinging strings, sax and some indispensable glockenspiel!
