Angelina Jorden - Bio from Republic Record The Norwegian - Los Angeles-based 15-year-old singer and songwriter amplified her voice around the globe, racking up over half-a-billion RU-vid views, just shy of 2 billion Facebook views, and praise from Time, CNN, The BBC, and People. Along the way, she performed for world leaders at some of the most influential events in Europe, appeared on European and North American television, and quietly enraptured a growing fan base. In 2020, she brings a soulful signature sound to life with her Republic Records debut. The breadth of Angelina’s soulful and deep alto vocal delivery showcases a rare class of musical aptitude that you would attribute to an old soul, and legendary talent, well beyond her years. “I feel like I’ve lived many years more than my age. I feel like music found me. I want people to get connected to my music and my lyrics and to share something special with the love I have for music." Angelina went from belting out Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” to immersing herself in jazz at five-years-old. She discovered Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and Louis Armstrong by combing jazz playlists across RU-vid. At eight-years-old, she won Norway’s Got Talent with a viral rendition of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday.” Labels and producers feverishly sought her out, but she already possessed a clear picture of what her path would be. Taking her time, she opted to carefully hone her voice through countless hours of practice, gigs, and writing. “It was really great, but I knew I wanted something bigger,” she admits. “I didn’t want to jump into it until I felt I was ready.” She got “ready” through a series of historic performances. She graced the stage of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony and delivered an emotionally charged rendition of “What A Wonderful World.” A year later, she wowed an audience at Brilliant Minds in Stockholm. Touching down in Seoul during 2017, she joined a powerhouse bill alongside PSY and Norah Jones in front of 40,000 people at Muse In City Festival. Quincy Jones personally invited her to perform at his 85th birthday at London’s O2 Arena. Every time she took the stage, she was notably barefoot, which remains one of her signatures thus far. “A long time ago, I was traveling with my family, and I met a young homeless girl with no shoes,” she recalls. “She was barefoot, so I gave her my shoes because I really wanted to help her. Today, I sing barefoot as a reminder of all the kids in the world who need help and support.” Along the way, GRAMMY® Award-winning production duo Stargate [Beyoncé, Sam Smith, Rihanna] reached out, and they initiated a fervent creative partnership together. She continued to write lyrics, compose on piano and guitar, and record. Catching the attention of Republic Records, she inked a deal with the label in 2020. Now, she formally introduces herself on the single “Million Miles.” With lyrics exclusively penned by Angelina, her robust delivery sails over sparse piano on the verses as the track builds towards a sweeping refrain, “We’re a million miles apart. It’s pulling my heart." “Million Miles” is about losing someone you really love,” she explains. “This song is very personal to me, because I had never felt the feeling of losing someone before I wrote this.” With more music on the horizon, there is more of Angelina’s captivating voice and songwriting in store.
You want more upbeat Angelina Jordan, try 7th HEAVEN. You will love it, it's new, it's different, she wrote it and it won't make you sad. The studio version of that is great.
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ "I am leaking from my eyes." That's good, because that means you are, in fact, human. It's the people who don't cry when they listen to Angelina that I worry about. I'm very sorry to hear about the passing of your grandmother. Take care, and remember that listening to Angelina is always good for the soul.
I've read your comment with an interest. I don't cry when listen Ms Flute as I call Angelina for the airy sound she is able to produce (like in Bohemian Rapsody). I don't believe a 15-yo girl has an experience and emotions to share with me. Probably she trusts in a game she plays. But I try not to buy fake values. Angie is young naive and unexperienced and she is under an everyday pressure of a fame. Which is explainable but not healthy for a young person.
@@codece172-ak2 Perhaps you are projecting, as I can see no other explanation for your negativity. Have you followed the 10 years of documentation of her progression to this point? If you did honestly, you would understand how she has arrived to this stage.
Quite the contrast to feature the angelic voice of Angelina amongst heavy metal sounds and horror themed content 😄 But I guess this way the yin and yang energies are balanced. 😉
Watching your reaction is as priceless as Angelina’s performance, as you become more familiar with her prodigious body of work you’ll experience her chameleon voice
Don't feel sad that she brought tears to your eyes. It just means she succeeded in making you FEEL the meaning of the song. I've listened to Adele's version, and it is excellent. I've listened to Bruno's version, and it is very good. But neither version made me cry. I've listened to Angelina's version more than 100 times, and she makes me cry every time. She just has the "IT" factor; she can make a rock weep. For me, this is Angelina's best performance. Glad to see you reacting to Angelina again. 💕💕
Thanks Superstar, Your reactions to AJ are always so sincere. I could see in your face the adoration and joy in your eyes. I get a little misty on this bc we've had the privilege of watching her grow up and wishing for her the best things. This, to me, is the culmination of all the hard work she has put into achieving her goal of singing to the world. I believe within the next 2 years Angelina Jordan will be a household name. Great reaction!!!!
frank phillips I cannot understand why this very song alone has not brought more attention to Angelina. Heidi Klum seems to be the only major celebrity to give a dam about Angelina. Taylor Swift ignores her, and fawns over Olivia Rodrigo, even bought her a expensive present for her success with "Drivers License" Angelina is being ignored by the masses. Only us U Tube junkies know about her, and care about her.
@@leebrn8588 Taylor is afraid of AJ and for good reason. AJ was signed as high priority and she's only 15 and they are both with UMG which owns Republic Records
@@frankphillips5660 That has always been in the back of my mind. Taylor Swift would prefer to keep Angelina unknown, because Taylor only has a average , or perhaps decent voice, and she was in the "Right place, at the right time" so to speak, while Angelina has a voice that is one in a million, and it is one of the most recognizable on the planet. Teens loved her singing on AGT Champions, then she disappeared due to covid19. It is a given that Taylor is jealous of Angelina, because they both are signed with Republic Records, and Taylor never "welcomed her aboard," just ignored her... I do not care if Angelina never gets "69 million views" (supposedly like Olivia Rodrigo) I would just like to see her get a hit album with 26 million sales like Norah Jones did with her hit album called "Come away with me" in 2002. Until Angelina appeared on the scene in 2014 Norah Jones was my favorite Jazz singer. Now she is # 2
I too recommend 7th Heaven, an original, and Heal the World. Keep the Kleenex close. Her 3 wonderful performances on AGT were "taped" in the fall of 2019 when she was 13. Now, at 15, and signed with Republic Records as their "highest priority new artist," she has access to voice coaches and professional studios. Interestingly, the piano player in her last 3 recordings, is Rob Christie, Director of Republic Records L.A. Studio, and they are in his home studio. I think she's made a friend! Her production team is still Stargate (think Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Lionel Richie, Britney Spears, Beyonce, Selena, Celine Dion, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Sam Smith, and on and on.) Recently, in an interview, one of Stargate's co-producers said that there were only three artists who only needed just one take; Beyonce, Sam Smith, and Angelina Jordan!
Looks like with Rob Christie and Stargate, added to her team (her family ) , with the backing of RR, she has a formidable team looking after her interest. That's why we just have to be patient. No other artist has ever had this approach to their career. Patience, and not false instant fame ( and money chasing) Bless Angelina
Because her roots are in jazz, her delivery is such that a non-jazz singer, no matter how famous, can bring forth the emotion she does in ballads like this. Her inflections, runs, riffs, and a host of nuance just adds to her ability to penetrate the human soul.
If you asked me my favorite Angelina song, especially as I have listened to everything she has done hundreds of times, I couldn't tell you. Sure, I had a top tier, but none I could single out as "my favorite" as all were so wonderful. That is until today. This cover is Angelina Jordan perfection! This is Angie in her native environment. Pure sound from her magnificent emotional melismatic vocals and just a piano. No need for orchestral flare and mixing enhancements. Here, the last chorus was especially soul crushing! No other artist in all my 79 years has affected me like Angelina Jordan.
My deepest sympathies to you for your loss. You are one of my very favorite #AngelinaJordan channel reactors and you have been sorely missed. I had the feeling that this cover would evoke that special emotion from you that only Angelina seems to do and sure enough, tears flowing, she did just that. Bless you in your grief and don't let anyone try to tell you to get over it. Your grief, your time. Listening to Angelina music helps.
I have been listening to Angelina Jordan for over year now and what I have learned is that you never know what to expect as far as it will be deeply emotional or very powerful as with the high notes, but what I do know it will always be beyond comparison, I really don't even bother to listen to other artists because it will be a big drop off after listening to Angelina, I hope and pray I will be able to see her live and in concert for which I would pay too dollar to see.
Angelina growing up so fast, can't believe she's already 15 years old. Loved this cover, it made me cry, but in a good way. Thanks for a great reaction to this superstar in the making.
Your reactions are always so sincere and written on your face! She has done another single since this one which was only two weeks ago. It is Heal the World by Michael Jackson, such a beautiful song for these times. She actually was acting as ambassador to the crown Prince of Norway who made a virtual visit to California to discuss environmental issues. She was invited by the prince to do this performance. It is absolutely stellar and you need to have your tissues ready.
I am glad to see you’re back #Canadien #Deadgirl #Superstar. I’m so sorry to hear about your dear Grandma. Angelina (on her Facebook page) dedicates Million Miles to all those who have lost someone close to them in the past, particularly during this most difficult year of 2020. You absolutely MUST react to “7th Heaven” - not only is it a beautiful song with an upbeat message, it will give you an idea of the direction that Angelina taking her own music (at least, that’s what many of us hope). Great reaction. I look forward to your next one (...real soon, OK? 😬😜).
Omg i luv you!! And love your sweet reaction. She gotcha man that girl takes you away to such a beautiful place...a place you wish you didnt have to leave!! And then bammm...its done and there you are...left shaking your head and wondering how this girl gets you deep inside every single time.her voice is soothing beyond compare. I cant get enough. Im happy when she sings and my heart is happy and my ears are delighted to listen to this beauty. Wow shes just something special thays for sure. Have a great day. 💗🎶😊🎶💗
I suggest you check out her new original single 7th Heaven next. It will cure your "leaky eyes" and put a smile on your face! Definitely find the official live, in-studio version and be prepared to dance! Angelina said that she wanted people to want to "get up and dance" when she wrote the song :)
She definitely has a very bright future and I was so pleased to find out some months ago she had been signed so can release a lot more new material. Imagine her career in another 15 years time when she turns 30!
Superstar, Thank you for revisiting Angelina. I only watch Angelina reactions, and I missed your smiling face reacting to them. As others have mentioned, "7th Heaven" should be reacted to also. The Studio Performance. Oh!! Angelina also did Michael Jacksons "Heal The World" Live from LA, that was VERY good also.
Welcome back! She's definitely is in your heart and she will never leave you. Your heart won't let that happen! My dear, when you include what kind of a person she is, so loving, so caring, to her incredible voice she has, already at age 15, put herself very near the top of the artists anyone would want to listen to. Once you become a true Angelina "Angel" (maybe you are already?) you can tear up just thinking about her without her even singing a note to you. What she is doing to and for people around the world is nothing short of miraculous. And, what's so wonderful for all of us, she's only starting out! The best is yet to come. Stay with her, dear. I just subscribed. Always remember, Angelina loves you and whenever you feel the need to be comforted, please, open up your heart and let Angelina sing to you.
Another absolutely beautiful song by Angelina. Hope it raises this dead girl up to listen to the Beautiful music that Angelina has to offer. She will bring joy and happiness to your heart everyday. 💝
I am so sorry for your loss Deadgrl. 😢 Angelina has a way of touching our hearts and bringing our emotions to the surface which is actually a very healthy step in the healing process. I have on more than one occasion gotten "leaky eyes" during her songs but there is always a calm peacefulness when Angelina sings. Loved your reaction and how intently you watch the video. Great to have you back reacting to the bare foot princess!!
Deadgrl it is awesome to have you back reacting to Angelina. Love your hair color today. Republic Records appears to be honoring their signing agreement with Angelina and her family by keeping her career on a slow track until Angelina finishes high school. We need to cherish any new performance we get over the next couple years. I suggest you react to her latest original song, 7th Heaven.
Great to see you back with Angelina..I'm 60 years old, a crusty old man, and I leak from my eyes all the time watching her. I love your reactions as well. I missed watching these with you. I'm subbed so I still tune in on the Acapella groups and other things that catch my eye but I've been waiting, your reaction to Spell is on my top ten list. Love you 💝
She is such a treasure. Incredible talent attached to so caring a soul. A gift to the World when it needs it most. Her new original song "7th Heaven" is very upbeat and inspirational.
Welcome back Deadgrl, I'm happy to see you again but I'm very sorry for your granny. Thanks for the new wonderful reaction for this cover of song Adele's. Angelina is absolutely fantastic here! She has created a wonderful old style atmosphere, it's only Angelina, her voice that fills all the spaces of the imagination, a sweet elegance and a hint of the piano background ... it's a unique and exciting fresco. She has grown up and the charm of her voice is becoming almost supernatural, this little girl is truly music, in the her deepest essence. I can't listen to it without being moved every time. She has the ability to read songs, in an incredible way and she don't need colorful or redundant shows, just a simple piano or guitar accompaniment is enough for she to do the magic.😊 ❤️ If you like, here you can find her latest original song, she has been released the last month, "7th Heaven", it will leave you amazed again. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N0yK_07a1_U.html
Thank you for returning to "Angelina's universe". Terribly sorry for your loss. Although Angelina wrote Million Miles as a tribute to the memory of her grandfather, she expressed the hope that it would bring comfort to all those who were grieving the death of a loved one. I note that may people are suggesting you react to her latest original song and a cover she did a very short while ago. To save you searching for them, here are the links. There are three videos of her original song "7th Heaven". My favourite one is the last listed, but every one is worth watching, even if you do not react to them. 7th Heaven - (Official Audio video) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N0yK_07a1_U.html 7th Heaven - (Official Lyrics Video) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o4Vl3I1WWq4.html 7th Heaven - (Official Studio Performance) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bM8DzMRbiIc.html The covers she does is of Michael Jackson's "Heal the world". It is a "tear-jerker" so make sure you have tissues available Heal the world (Michael Jackson) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hy5bBKfIziw.html
She had another original called 7 th Heaven ... YOU WILL REALLY LIKE IT .. I really believe you will .. and it's fun and jazzy! and she just did a cover of Michael Jackson's HEAL THE WORLD. Amazing! and P.S. Welcome back!
Sorry for your loss. You have to react to her last original '7th Heaven' (studio version) which is upbeat. Then her last cover 'Heal the world' which is touching.
Welcome back! I see so many requests for Angelina's latest original tune, "7th Heaven", but I still don't understand why people don't include links to their requests! So, with all due respect for YOUR time and efforts, here's a link to "7th Heaven", live in studio. She's 15. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bM8DzMRbiIc.html
Many of the qualities of her voice reminds me of Amy Winehouse. She has had those same voice qualities from the first time I heard her as a little kid. I hope she is not tormented by the same demonds that led to Amy's death.
sorry for your loss.. but a very welcome back ... if you ever need to get into a good mood or better mood or better better better mood listen to 7th heaven it is soooooooo good
