ANGELA JOHNSON/GOT TO LET IT GO/PURPOSE RECORDS
Singer/ Songwriter/Producer Angela Johnson has a new recording titled GOT TO
LET IT GO on Purpose Records (www.purposerecords.com). It is a fantastic CD
with many outstanding cuts. Angela is known for her work with Coolys
HotBox, Donnie, DJ Spinna, Japanese R&B artist Double, and numerous others.
She exhibits her own unique style and yet those great artists who have come
before Angela inspire her songwriting and production talents.
Self taught from the age of four, Angela shows us true musicianship that is
lacking from some of her pseudo soul commercial brothers and sisters. In
other words folksthe sister is badd and is a musical force to be reckoned
with!
The CD gets off to a great start with the bouncy funk of On My Way with
horn arrangements by Jacques Schwartz-Bart. All tunes on the session are
produced by Angela and she also composed all the music and lyrics.
A little birdie told me in a recent conversation that Angela loves Al Green.
The tune Ill Always is reminiscent of one of those Hi Record sessions
with those horns, strings, and vocal harmonies. Its one of my favorite cuts
on the CD.
I like percussion too. Especially when it is up front in the mix. Ernesto
Abreu steps forward with some fine bongo work on All I Need and Lisala
Beatty joins Angela on background vocals.

We go to Slo-jam heaven on the tune Lets Get Together as Jeremy James is
featured with Angela (Ms. Johnson if you please) and also on Tell Me
another great Slo-jam. Yall can put these two on your seduction mix-tape.
Fellow Purpose recording artist Monet steps in on Youre Here With Me
bringing a jazzy touch on board and the tune Early Bird has the feel and
sound of one of those 70s Roy Ayers productions, especially with the
addition of Tricia Angus on vocals. Angela has a very keen sense of musical
history.
Rounding out my favorite cuts are Home Away From Home and Whatever It
Takes. As the final tune on the CD, Whatever leaves us with a message to
be positive and do whatever it takes to be happy. Ill tell you whatthis CD
makes me extremely happy and I highly recommend it. Its a fine release by a
very talented musician. Look for it at your local wreckastow or go online at
www.purposerecords.com or www.angelajohnson.com.
