Lava La Rue and Deb Never’s single “Angel” instantly transports one back in time and to the future with its modern-80’s mixture. Its intensely irresistible chord progressions, dreamy guitar intro, and blend of punchy rap & smooth vocals take the listener on an auditory adventure into the mind of the lyricist. When the beat drops, one can feel themselves stepping into a musical experience full of nostalgia, as La Rue longs for the “angel” that she’s been missing, the nostalgia amplified by lines like “Angel, I’ll come back, don’t you wait too long”. The prevailing theme of longing for a love that once was, transmitted by the disco-esque bassline and addictive synthesizer add to the song’s profound and indescribable effect. This song sparkles with its vivid imagery, vibey synth, and 80s glamour. A great listen with great lyrics.
