In the field of music, the West has given the world its share of female superstars, and megastars--iconic singing talents that are household names, from Asia and Africa, to Australia, and Latin America, etc., but the world has yet to witness a Russian female artist do the same. No, we have never known a Russian born artists who possesses all the pop-trendy coolness and excitement...as noted in the cross-cultural appeal and acceptance, that is regularly generated and experienced by International megastars like Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Beyonce, and Jennifer Lopez, among many others. The Russians have produced many great singers, performers that are just as special and talented as any in the West, but the doors of International success, and recognition, simply have not been fully breached. Singer/song-writer Angelica Blaze is Russia's tempting equalizer in the music industry's ever-growing war for your ears, eyes, and attention. Raised as a classically trained pianist, in the Urals of Russia, Angelica was exposed to the R&B sounds of the West, and soon...the soul music and jazz influences of performers like the legendary Ray Charles. Within a short-time, Western Hip-Hop began to make a major impression in Russia, and soon an exciting cross-pollinated Hip-Hop and Rock subculture began to emerge, sweeping the collective imaginations of the new generation of Russian youth. Angelica's love of R&B and Jazz would now include Hip-Hop, and her love for traditional Russian Roots and Classical Music. These converging influences conspired to shape Angelica into a world music artist, one without borders. As a performer, Angelica Blaze hopes that her music will serve as an ambassador, to bring the world closer together through supplying us all with a greater understanding and tolerance for our different countries and cultures. Music, like love, laughter, tears, and art, is easily understood, there are no barriers of language... And she works on her album with the assistance of platinum selling music producer, American, James Jae-E Earley...of MC Hammer, En Vogue, and David Bowie fame, the album was carefully assembled, from Russia to the USA...with results that are partly unique, surprising, inspired, and all things cool--or dare we say, hot!!! Born in the year of the Dragon, Angelica Blaze is hot like fire. Her music is as passionate as her fiery personality and lyrics are incendiary. She is a temptress of the dance-floor--her music carries pulsing DJ friendly rhythms..and rich Pop melodies--but ever the prolific writer, Angelica has crafted her album with an ebb and flow of sound vistas, from loud, rude, and colorfully bodacious, to quiet, soft, and contemplative melancholy. It is an album that serves as her musical diary, tackling subject matter as varied as the wonder and torment of first-love, the uncertainly of a break-up, global sorrow, loneliness, and the drama of a whirlwind romance amid the temptation filled backdrop of dance-club driven night life. All seems like over-night success for her, but the road to becoming Angelica Blaze wasn't easy, and was actually years in the making. Become a fan of Angelica Blaze now!!!
