GLOBAL SUPERSTAR Halle says she hopes ‘other brown and black girls and everyone in general feel embraced, respected, and inspired’ when they hear her debut single, ‘Angel’.
Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer, songwriter and composer Theron “NeffU” Feemster, the track, dropped with accompanying visual, weaves a cinematic soundscape with a R&B groove punctuated by orchestral arrangements.
This backdrop highlights her skyscraping range as the powerful, provocative, and passionate lyrics captivate – ‘Heaven knows your wings can weigh you down, but angels make a way somehow.’
After the widespread conversation around The Little Mermaid, ‘Angel’ offers a reflection on Halle’s commitment to empower and uplift young women around the world
“This song for me is so very special and near and dear to my heart,” says Halle.
“With everything I’ve gone through the past 3-4 years, suddenly finding myself in this bubble of all these eyes and new opinions, it was easy for me to feel doubt in myself and who I was.
“This song for me was my climb out of those feelings, a mantra and promise to myself that the work I’m doing here on earth matters and that I matter.
“I wanted to be able to embrace and be proud of myself and who I am naturally through and through. I hope other brown and black girls and everyone in general feel embraced, respected, and inspired hearing the words of this song.”
Halle shines as a four-time Grammy Award-nominated multiplatinum singer and songwriter, show-stopping performer and dynamic actress across film and television.
She initially captivated audiences as one-half of the acclaimed R&B duo Chloe x Hallealongside her sister Chloe Bailey. The pair delivered two fan favourite full-length albums, including ‘The Kids Are Alright’ and ‘Ungodly Hour’.
The latter bowed in the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 and Top 3 of the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart in addition to yielding the platinum single ‘Do It’.
Along the way, they notably gathered four Grammy Award nominations, including “Best New Artist”. Beyond magazine covers and television performances, they ignited the stage during the On The Run II Tour co-headlined by Beyoncé and Jay-Z.

Halle certainly has a voice, and the song is well crafted.
However, just imagine the “goose-bumps” one would have felt, if Halle’s song had been produced by Quincy Jones; who would had added lush sings and horns, which would have added this song to the classic book of soul recording.
