    Val, after further consideration I must say that IMO, Angelina incorporated the jazz, R&B and pop genres into this amazing song. She is single handedly reintroducing jazz to the masses and making it cool again. Angelina is reinventing jazz by giving it her 2021 interpretation of it. Several reactors have said they greatly enjoy hearing Angelina bring jazz back into vogue. She is the only young artist with the self confidence, ability and talent to take this avenue. Her vocal talent is perfectly suited to sing in this new jazz, R&B and pop genre she created. I still have to keep reminding myself how young she is.
    The cover photo is breath taking. It reveals a stunningly beautiful, statuesque and regal young lady whom exudes class and dignity. There is no other like her. Angel is in her own lane. We have been blessed to have her in our lives. She is a breath a fresh air. She is the most unique and versatile young music artist there is.

    Angelina combines the classic with the modern. Angelina takes the different styles of music (jazz, blouse, R&B etc.) and makes her own, unmistakable ANGELINA STYLE. The fact that 7th Heaven clearly bears Angelina's signature is indisputable and shows again that the producers of Stargate give Angelina every freedom to make music according to Angelina's ideas. Angelina wrote this song with two Norwegian co-writers Mikkel Storleer Eriksen and Tor Erik Hermansen, the founders of Stargate, the hit makers and GRAMMY® AWARD winners (4 awards and around 14 nominations). ✌️😷💯 *AJ* 💯👣
    *Angelina commented in The Withguitares* “Life has ups and downs, and you always have to be ready for whatever is coming up. The song is a reminder to look at everything in a positive light and not get down on yourself. Most importantly - no matter what you're doing - don't give up. It's also meant to make you dance, ”she smiles. 🤗🤗🤗

    Congratulations Valerie, this is one of the most beautiful reactions to this song by Angelina I have heard, I also loved your analysis of her formative path is a fair portrait of her art. ❤️
    I love this extraordinary melting between her voice, always more mature, warm and powerful, the really deep and bluesy lyrics and the old jazz style atmosphere. She has acquired a style which, by mixing all her sources of inspiration, is increasingly unique and fascinating. In this song it's clear that Angelina is absolutely a blues soul, she sings melancholy, pain, loneliness, love, hope, in an completely special and unique way. If you take a pinch of the talent of every singer who inspires her, Amy, Adele, Billie, Etta, Aretha, Whitney plus a few splashes of some great male singers, after mix it up, distill it and here's an Angelina's pure blend.
    The more I listen this song the more I love it, is simply amazing. ❤️ ❤️

    This is the positive message that we associate with Angelina, and it’s particularly welcome and relevant right now. But we also get from Angelina the willingness and the ability to step out of her already-wide comfort zone to give us something we don’t expect. It’s so refreshing to see her vocal confidence with this upbeat, toe-tapping, jazzy vibe. We see that confidence selling the message behind these lyrics, just as we saw her sell it with blues in I Put a Spell on You or with soft jazz in Bohemian Rhapsody. Her love for forgotten styles and genres shines in songs like this. She knows her voice so well.

    Now we know for a certainty that Angelina is not going to abandon her jazz roots! She’s staying true to her early influences like Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, and Amy Winehouse. There's no mistaking the artist singing this song. Angie has forged a unique style and sound over many years, regardless of the genre, regardless of the song. It's her! I can't wait to see a live performance of this, and also so many of her greatest to come. Angie's my daily dosage since I found this treasure in 2015. As I said in a previous comment, the Jazz Queen is back! P.S. It seems Angie management has two requests for Angie's fans. First is to contact your local radio stations and ask them to play it, and second play it as much as you can on Spotify. Must play for at least 30 seconds.

      @rotorhead-fy7nc 3 роки тому +1

      @@briant3404 I referred to Angelia's jazz roots because the song is a mainly a pop song with a jazz feel IMO. Some reviews on line have also noted that by saying, “With its upbeat stomp, jazz-y piano, and vocal fireworks”
      “the Los Angeles-based 15-year-old singer and songwriter infuses her patented jazzy pop with a personal perspective and fresh fire.”
      “15 yo keeping Jazz alive for the younger generation”
      So call it whatever you wish. The differences between jazz and R&B are hard to distinguish at times. Here's one definition of R&B "Rhythm and blues, on the other hand, is a style of American music which emerged from the merging of jazz and blues."
      I'm not sure Angie will achieve her dream of superstar status solely as a jazz singer. Maybe yes, maybe no. But as a pop singer with the heavy jazz vocal stylings and talent she has (ala Amy Winehouse), it's a sure thing IMO.

      I don't see it working. I don't know why Republic hasn't delayed her launch until three quarters of the globe is no longer locked down. They can't market her properly because part of that is for her to show up on TV chat shows and news and light entertainment programming worldwide to catch the attention of those who don't pore over UA-cam, which is the vast majority. Justin Bieber was apparently found on UA-cam but as soon as he was snapped up, you couldn't turn on the TV or open a magazine without seeing an interview or performance. Angelina can't do that right now and, relatively speaking, nobody has heard of her. Mention her on any high street here in London, a major city, and you'll be met with blank faces.

      @@way2deep100 I can't say I disagree and it's frustrating. I know that national TV programs are the way to go along with radio play time. But she is in Los Angeles, and there is no national lockdown in the United States. Right now the states are the biggest market she has to capture. Airlines are flying, and talk/ music shows are taking place with social distancing. Look at the voice and American idol. Distancing with no masks necessary. she should be doing the talk shows and there's no reason why not.
      However, and this is a big if, if enough people buy her CDs and stream her on Spotify, her rankings will increase. Just visibility like that can help a bit.

She was on talk shows, news channels , Intertainment magazines, the works. She is under contract with UMG Universal Music Group. which is affiliated with Republic Records ( Probably the head of RR). Strange she got so much promotion and Angelina's MILLION MILES got nothing all in the same time frame.. It is almost like UMG told RR than our girl goes first, Angelina will have to sit on the shelf. Norah Jones signed with Blue Note, a lesser known jazz and Blues recording company in 2002, they gave her a terrific promo for her new Debut album called "Come away with Me" it sold over 26 million copies, and she won several awards. Bigger is nor always better.Right now it would not kill them to put a little more effort into getting her airtime on major music radio stations. They have the connections, whereas John Q public must go about finding phone numbers, getting put on hold, and never getting yes or no answers from whoever they spoke to. Maybe they plan to hold off her album til July, or August, and then hit the start button. Angelina deserves better.

    Yes, Angie wrote it with writers/producers Stargate (same 4 time Grammy winning duo as "Million Miles") As for production, Angie has been involved, and often "the boss," when it comes to production since age 8. There are quite a few videos of her directing her "wishes" to the musicians and producers. Just for the record, Angie's maternal grandma (her mentor and love of her life) is Iranian, her maternal grandpa was Japanese who passed in Nov. 2019, her mother and her uncle Michael were both raised in Japan before moving to Norway, and her father is Swedish.

I live in hope that the album that we are all holding out for will deliver a range of songs that will, in some way, accommodate a wide range of old and new fans, but still being true to herself. As you rightly say she has to have a total belief in what she sings, and the way she sings it for the true artform to express itself. You have already reacted to so many of Angelina's performances, I will have to look back at what you have covered, to find some hidden gems for you to discover.

    Great reaction; Angelina ,well that was our classic Angelina giving us a new present like nothing else she has done, she is like a new sunrise each day with each of her performances. A number one hit song for sure, and she wrote this her self , the words and phrasing to me are very much in her character, as like the words she wrote in her first song "what Is life ", at 11 years old , before she had collaborations with other production personalities, and which we know is all her heart and soul being exposed. Based on her first song "What is Life". you can tell these lyrics are her words and thoughts not some co writers words and thoughts.

    Beatiful reaction as often. You had the "within 10 seconds" head nodding, body moving to the beat, irresistible reaction that I've seen every single other reactor do (apart from one!) - I think your insight into how Angelina has been nurtured and protection from her family and not been "made to work" in order to be creative, is spot on.. :-)

    I heard that the lyrics for this came straight from her journals. She has many of these journals from when she was very young. So many more wonderful things are going to come from these journals. One of these was the book she wrote and published when she was 9, about the encounter with the homeless girl when she was 6. The title is in Norwegian and I can't remember that but the English translation is "Between two Hearts". It is a picture book that her grandmother illustrated, and explains how this encounter affected her life. Including how she gave the child her favorite shoes off her own feet, and lead her on to sing barefoot.

    Thank you, Valerie, for your beautiful reaction. I love your insight and perception of this young lady. I've been following her music for over a year now, and she still makes me cry when I listen to her. Her gifts and anointing are such a "breath of fresh air" to a very needy, troubled world. She sees herself as a vessel and allows God to use her to bring hope and encouragement to us all. We can only admire and appreciate this beautiful soul because there is no explaining why she is what she is. God made her like this.

    Hi Valerie, thank you for this nice & informative reaction. Angie's mom (Sara & Uncle Michael) are 1/2 Persian from Grandma & 1/2 Japanese from grandpa. Her dad Gerry Christian Slattman is Swedish origins & his parents are Swedish. Angie & her sister (6 yrs younger) are born in Oslo Norway & same with mom & Uncle. This what Angie had to say about the song.
    Angelina said it herself. “Life has ups and downs, and you always have to be ready for whatever is coming up. The song is a reminder to look at everything in a positive light and not get down on yourself. Most importantly-no matter what you’re doing-don’t give up. It’s also meant to make you dance.” She smiles. (“The initial idea for "7th Heaven" was that I love the number "7, and heaven" is such a powerful word and makes you dream away,” she explained.
    “I collaborated with Stargate to create ‘7th Heaven.’ The background story of making this song was that I had this melody that I played for Tor and Mikkel and it turned out that they loved the idea and it went pretty smooth from there to the finish the song.”) This genre is kind of jazz/soul/R&B/pop. Actually Angie made a new genre her patented Jazzy/pop. Her Angie style. Lets get out there & promote Angie's song, ask for it on your local radio stations, tell friends, relatives & neighbors etc etc, or it will end up like her last great single. etc. Angie wrote this & Stargate produced this.
    Angie actually proves her genius on the writing & why it's short. At the end most are craving more so you go back to listen to it again & again etc etc. Plus she ends that last word on Hope & on a high note for than you come down naturally or as most they just keep listing to the positive message. Pure story telling & word using genius & at 13-15 when she wrote this. Remember her musicality & music intelligence have always been off the charts. You can order on Spotify, Amazon, iTunes & Apple etc etc I hope you do. Please react to these 2.
    “I’m still holding out for you” by Baby Fuzz ua-cam.com/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/v-deo.html she’s 10 almost 11 (it was used as a demo. Her mom didn't like a line in it, so it was never released as a single)
    “Wicked Game” by Chris Issak ua-cam.com/video/5IAMF4FDfw4/v-deo.html When she was around 12.
    Angie was asked about this song & she said “I just wanted to go in my room & mess around with it” & as they say the rest is history. (Angie completely stripped it down & played 3-4 cords on her little piano & WOW!!!) very melancholy, it really fits the story the best with this video.
    Valerie could you please react to Laura Bretan too. She’s another child prodigy, like Angie but different genres. Laura won Romania’s Got Talent at age 13.

    When Laura won Romania's Got Talent in 2016.She donated half of her prize money (about 120,000 euros) to help the poor and underprivileged in that country. She has since gone on to do numerous concert performances and has released a number of singles. She donates half of the income from that to the poor and needy as well. She made it to the finals & she didn't sign with ATG just like Angelina Jordan & she got 6th place also. But now Laura & Angie are on their way to being bigger than AGT, In real life, Laura is a kind, loving respectful & giving Christian girl. She did great in Eurovision Romania in 2019 also.
    She sings Opera Aria’s/Operatic Pop/Christian crossover. Laura just signed with Universal Music Family in Nov. 2020. Laura has over a 140 video’s out there too. Even David Foster invites her almost every year for his annual Foundation event. Laura has over 140 video’s out there.

    Yes Angelina did write the music I was told it was pulled from her diary but I cannot confirm that.The track was produced by the Norwegian duo Stargate. Since she has released two additional music videos for the song: One showing her singing this song “live” in a recording studio, the other an “official music video” Featuring her younger sister.

    Great, and helpful comment. I’ll let those guys who know everything about Angelina’s background correct you on her exact ancestry if they haven't already. I find it fascinating because in some cases it provides insight into the makeup of an artist such as Angelina Jordan. As you suggest, her family has been essential to her development.

Please young lady always stay true to yourself and not let your heart to become jaded by the pain that life can bestow upon us at times. May God always bless you and yours.
