Recently relocating to San Francisco, Angela Moyra stands apart from the singer-songwriter pack she closely belongs to. Irresistible melodies and effortless catchy tunes, each track of her debut album Fickle Island is a splendid mix of naivety and sophistication.
Growing up in the Netherlands, Angela was surrounded by a unique mixture of classical singers like Louis Armstrong and Minnie Riperton, contemporary voices like Corinne Bailey Rae and Norah Jones and the tropical sounds from her Indonesian roots.
Reaching the finals of the Presigious Grand Prize of the Netherlands songwriter competition in 2011, Angela was encouraged to record the songs that delighted her growing audiences. Her first single Timid was recorded and released in 2012 and was immediately recognised by influential Dutch radio station #FM as a talent to expose. An invitation to perform on prime time Dutch TV followed and after festival appearances and a national tour, it was time to record a full-length album. Angela also supported James Morrison and Beth Hart during their Dutch tour.
Fickle Island was recorded in late 2013 and was produced by renowned Dutch producer Reyn Ouwenhand (Vanessa Paradis, Ane Brun). Released in March 2014 in the Netherlands, Fickle Island received several outstanding reviews. The twelve tracks on contain breezy melodies, which have poignant lyrics and a sophisticated worldview. East track is easy on the ears but hard to get out of your head!
Coincident with the release of Fickle Island: in the US in October 2014, Angela will be touring the west coast and adding a date or two on the east coast as well. Press and radio promotion will begin in August and her new video, made specifically for the U.S. release, will be I Won’t Stop.
