[.ca] Angie

Voice of an Angel Unleashed - finally!:
I am so delighted this album was re-released on CD! Like many a Bofill fan, I've been waiting and hoping until now. I got turned-on to Angela Bofill when this album was released back in the late 70's and have been a devotee of hers ever since. Angie's buttery vocals are so unique and pleasing to the ear. She's been compared to numerous other vocalists (Toni Braxton, Regina Belle, Gwen Guthrie) among others, however nobody's ever really matched her voice's velvety grace, in my opinion. When Angela sings, you can feel her heart. Her vocal nectar comes from a place deep inside her soul - a musical power that few artists of this genre and era have duplicated. Unfortunately, her vocal prowess is deeply underappreciated and overlooked by many. Her career has seen ups and downs, but the voice and soul remains. This debut LP benefited greatly from the highly-polished production styleings of Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen. They also produced her next effort, "Angel of the Night", which I highly recommned as well (5-stars). I only wish she would have stuck with GRP, as I felt the production values of her later LPs diminished somewhat in the 80's. Nevertheless, Once you've heard Ms. Bofill's rendition of "This Time I'll Be Sweeter" and "Summer Nights", you'll be hooked... trust me on this one. Do yourself a favor and BUY THIS CD! Thank God for Angela Bofill.

The voice of an angel(no doubt about it!):
Angela Bofill's debut album. This is still as wonderful, amazing and unforgettable as it was when originally released in 1978.A truly wonderful and timeless album which features "Under The Moon And Over The Sky" "This Time I'll Be Sweeter " and "Summer Days". If you are into good music you MUST have this album. Just one listen and you will know why Angela has an angel's voice!

She is an " ANGEL OF THE NIGHT"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:
I loved "Share Your Love, Under The Moon And Over The Sky.She has definitely Shared Her Love With The World.

Fantastic Debut:
I was so happy to see this album on cd-reissued. I was ten years old when I first heard Angie's then 'album' and fell in love with her voice. It is so rich and sensuous. She really stands out vocally to new and young divas. Her talent is so underappreciated it's a real travesty. Her later work is okay, but this is essential Bofill. A must if you want to appreciate her talent.

A classic jazz album:
Angela Bofill's voice is a true wonder. Exotic and exhilirating, sweet and soothing, picturesque and inviting. She conjures vivid imagery with her interpretations. I discovered "Angie" about five years ago not too long after I started college. I picked up a vinyl copy, and I have been in love with Angela ever since. This beautifully packaged reissue truly does the album justice. "Under the Moon and Over the Sky" is a jazz/fusion delight; it's Afro-Cuban rhythms are intoxicating. The highs and lows Bofill hits will give you chills. It is that kind of drama that makes this record a compelling listen. Her definitive take on "This Time I'll Be Sweeter" is a joyous, moving masterpiece. He pleas of "have faith in me" are almost palpable. But in my opinion, the best track is "The Only Thing I Would Wish For." The jazzy vocal arrangement and flute work by Dave Valentin paint a real picture of what GRP was all about in its infancy. The liner notes and packaging are also great. So this CD is well worth the price... it is a moving experience.
