You Oughta Know : Angel Taylor

Angel Taylor never wanted a recording contract. No, really. After looking for a way to record a few songs for family and friends as a Christmas gift, an unwitting email to producer Mikal Blue resulted in an impromptu audition invite and eventually a contract with Columbia records. It seems fitting that her road to the industry happened so organically seeing as this Southern Cali-native singer/songwriter just wants to share love through her music. Taylor's self-proclaimed "coffee shop" sound is a passionate blend of youthful innocence with a spiritual center, and she's every bit as wholesome and pure as her "Love Travels" debut. In 12 tracks she showcases her penchant for telling stories about love and longing in a way everyone can relate to. Understandable, since the songstress draws material from her day-to-day experiences and the people around her. While Taylor's music may give you warm fuzzies, don't be fooled; she'd just as quickly lay down a track with "A Milli"-man Lil Wayne as she'd collaborate with John Mayer (her music idol). Get hooked on the idealistic sounds of the California girl with the hopeful message, and unleash the hopeless romantic buried inside.«Less
