‘Bad Luck’ emerges as a textured, confident introduction to the The Filipina-British artist, her polished runs and breathy adlibs shining bright over moody, atmospheric production, a naturally talented vocal performance dipped in London edge will continue the attention around an artist seamlessly combining R&B and Afrobeats tropes.
Reminding her ex exactly what they’re missing out on, the rising talent sings “There never was a you without me, so not sorry, bad luck, you fucked up.” A track she has stated was written to heal her own heartbreak, Angeloumae’s nonchalant yet assured delivery offers a glimpse of a significant new talent, her take on self-love coming with an empowering and unapologetic approach.
Speaking on the track, Angeloumae explains:
“This single is special, it connects the heartbroken. It’s for the people who have experienced giving your all to someone, reminiscing on the love you had, but not regretting leaving the person because you deserve more, and they fucked up.”
Inspired by muses including Sade, Jhéne Aiko, SZA and Aaliyah, the Filipina-British artist will continue the growing attention around her as she brings sensuality, sexuality and empowerment to her music and aesthetic. Already receiving critical attention across the likes of BBC 1Xtra and GUAP MAGAZINE, with a recent activation with the fashion brand I SAW IT FIRST, Angloumae is defining herself as an excitingly fresh and resonant new voice in the London landscape. With the release of ‘BAD LUCK’ and a slew of further tracks promised, she’s feeling like a significant new One to Watch for the year.
‘Bad Luck’ is available now via all major platforms.
