ANGEL! PUSHES R&B FORWARD ON “WHAT YOU WANT”
“‘WHAT YOU WANT’ is the first example of Alt-R&B and Drill being combined in sucH an effortless manner. The bounce of a drill hi hat over lush harmonies, CHORUS SOAKED GUITAR AND high falsetto crooning is the stuff of fantasy for a kid who grew up on Earth, Wind and Fire just as much as I did on Pop Smoke” SAYS ANGEL! “It makes me incredibly proud to have created it in the time and manner that I did.”
“WHAT YOU WANT” marks ANGEL!’s final release from his acclaimed debut EP, “A GOOD DAY FOR DYING”. The project includes such beautiful and introspective singles as, “ASCENSION HALL” “BRITTNEY WHITE” “THE DAYGO PISTONS” and “CONVERSATIONS ALONE” all joined by official music videos streaming now at YouTube HERE.
“IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS I HAVE BEEN IN MY OWN WORLD COMPLETELY. I HAVEN’T SEEN MY FATHER IN YEARS. I HAVE GROWN APART FROM FRIENDS.
I SPEND MORE TIME ALONE THAN EVER. BUT, IN WRITING THIS SONG I REALIZED, THOSE ARE ALL THINGS THAT I ULTIMATELY WANTED. I AM ADDICTED TO THE PAIN, THE SADNESS AND THE ISOLATION.” ANGEL! REFLECTS. “THE SONG IS ABOUT BEING ALONE AND DEPRESSED IN A DARK ROOM BUT THEN REALIZING YOU ARE THERE BECAUSE YOU CHOSE TO BE, OR RATHER BECAUSE YOUR ACTIONS GOT YOU THERE. THE HOOK IS CONDESCENDINGLY ASKING, ‘BUT, I THOUGHT THAT’S WHAT YOU WANT?’”

Black Skywalker, the rising artist with an undeniable buzz, drops his debut EP, I Need Therapy.
The new project promises to usher in the new era of hip-hop. “Rap music is in a dark place and I came to bring the light,” said Skywalker. “The type of music I make is best described as Outer Space Jedi-level rap shit.”
Black Skywalker and Chris Rosa produced the debut EP featuring the focus track “Pills and Alcohol”. The single describes a man battling depression and anxiety with prescription medicine and champagne.
The EP includes hard-hitting 808s, crackling snares, and spacey synths. “We in Love” is a melodic record with a bouncy bass and drums. However, the lyrics depict a flawed relationship due to social media and porn addiction.
Black Skywalker’s ‘Pain of Letting Go’ has huge production and raw guitar. The lyrics express deep emotion and heartbreak, making the EP’s inspiration very clear.
“Therapy” is a song that touches on the struggles of life and the importance of seeking help. The production is interesting, with dark verses and uplifting hooks. The second verse highlights the benefits of opening up to a therapist and encourages others to do the same.
“Slide with Me” is a standout track from the EP with great production and an infectious hook. It narrates the story of falling in love with the woman of your dreams and has an upbeat vibe that sets it apart from the rest of the EP.
EP delivers a relatable conversation, amazing production, and intentional songwriting. Black Skywalker calls it outer space Jedi-level rap music.
