Anyone looking for a spiritual experience without wanting to go to church can find a mix of soulful introspection and joyful reverie in her fun and thoughtful sound. Her latest single "Mercy, Mercy Me" is a slowed down, pared down cover of Marvin Gaye's classic anthem. Stripped of its original uptempo, fuller instrumentation her rendition narrows in on the underlying ache of the song (an appropriate mood for these climate-crises ridden times). Finding solace in a union of elements: a wandering voice, a cocoon of vocal harmonies, and the midnight mood of an accompanying saxophone. The music creates a meditation on earthly destruction that hopes for our reflection and connection. Intimate, exuberant, and soft, Angela's sound seamlessly moves You can listen to Angela Nashed's music and follow her here: (Streaming Platforms):  https://bit.ly/34bwyfB http://angelanashed.bandcamp.com http://angelanashed.com http://instagram.com/angelanashedhttp://soundcloud.com/angelanashed Http://facebook.com/angelanashedmusic   More more news and information, check us out at BringBackSoulMusic.comFor our latest gear shop.bringbacksoulmusic.com COPYRIGHT © 2020  Bring Back Soul Music.
