Not everyone can transcend the teen pop genre, but like former labelmate Justin Timberlake, No Secrets' erstwhile lead singer has done an admirable job of distancing herself from the often coy and insincere musical genus, despite the fact her former glammed-up girl band was one of the best of the bunch. Much of the credit for their success has to go to Angel herself, whose strong vocal style and impassioned delivery transcends any hint of banality. On her solo debut, this kittenish and formidably talented singer continues to outshine her material--especially the couple of hackneyed offering from the Matrix, that splashy production team who helped make Avril Lavigne a household name. In fact Angel's best moments are on the three tunes--including the title track, with it's female empowerment subtext--that she co-wrote, where she fiercely attacks more age-appropriate subject matter, coming off as feral and as anthemic as Joan Jett in her prime. --Jaan Uhelszki

About the Artist
Angel is a sunny California girl whose magazine cover looks are surpassed only by volumes of talent. If she wasn't so dedicated to being the best at everything she does, it would be easy to say that she's just plain lucky. The former Jive recording artist (lead singer of her girl group No Secrets) definitely makes it look - and sound - effortless, whether she's performing at charity events, working in the studio to complete her debut album on Midas Records, or working out the choreography to the songs she's writing, Angel does it all with the grace and ease of a true star. Angel possesses a natural vocal and dance talent that continues to grow stronger due to the dedication and hard work she devotes to mastering the challenges of her art. One of the characteristics that makes Angel so inspiring is the love and time she dedicates to improving her music, while still maintaining a normal high school life. Angel inspires and empowers everyone around her as she leads by example, balancing a demanding academic and extracurricular schedule with recording sessions with Grammy-nominated producers The Matrix (Britney Spears, Hillary Duff, Avril Lavigne), the Wizardz of Oz (Nick Lachey, Ricky Martin), and two-time ASCAP Songwriter of the Year Keith Follese (Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Backstreet Boys). She's also working with platinum-selling songwriter-producer Johnny Jam (Mandy Moore, Jon Secada), as well as producer and president of Straight Face Records DJ Ted Smooth (Lumidee), and Hit Factory producer Zack Hancock. And add to this recent performances by! Angel at the Radio Music Awards in Las Vegas and the NBA All-Star Jam, to be followed with great anticipation by Midas Records Presents: The VH1 Save The Music Tour featuring ANGEL. This combined activity and creativity is poised to send the first single "Just The Way I Am," (produced by the Wizardz of Oz) through the roof. Angel is an incredible singer with volumes of talent that lights up the room with ballads, throws brave attitude with pop-rock anthems, and pulls heartstrings when she embraces a ballad. Angel's musical capabilities don't stop with just singing and dancing, she is also an accomplished songwriter, having co-written a lot of the songs, such as "Ma Ma's Little Girl," "To Forgive You," and "Angel." With photo shoots, video shoots, and a promotional tour underway, Angel is powering up for the summer 2004 release of her album.
