Angela Johnson: Naturally Me, CD

A real tour de force from the supremely talented New Yorker – vocalist, songwriter, keyboard player, producer and arranger. She does it all – and she does it better than ever on this stunning album. Acclaimed singer guitarist Raul Midon guests on the lyrically clever “I Promise (M.O.N.E.Y.)”.

Angela is an artist on top of her game on this, her fifth album on Dome. Excellent songs, great arrangements and outstanding vocal performances – whether it be mellow, as on her exquisite cover of the Teena Marie song “Déjà vu”, classic soul vibe, as on the album closer “A Beautiful Place”, or rocking out as on the driving “Say Yeah”. Angela even breaks new ground with a frenetic instrumental workout “Music’s My Religion”, featuring her on organ and Wes Mingus on guitar. Clap your hands now!
