What a line-up (and yes, you’re absolutely right to be excited)! The unmistakable voice of the “Concrete Angel,” Christina Novelli, joins forces with UK singer-songwriter Reigns (rightly renowned of course for her work with Carl Cox, Low Steppa, Benny Benassi, Disco Fries and others). And completing this stellar ensemble, none other than Johan Gielen, donning his Airscape cape to deliver a spellbinding rework of the duo’s “When My Angel Sleeps.”
The origins of the track lie in the autumn of 2023, where it took the lead on Christina’s ‘I’m Not Sad EP’, in turn marking the first time she’d co-owned mic, song and writing duties with another artist.
In a masterstroke of emotional elevation (and with more than a nod to the summer!), Johan’s tapped innately into the vocal’s feel and graced it with bass groove, shimmering sub-melodies and glowing atmospheric pressures. Tinkling the ivories, he lets the grand piano notes drift through its midsection, before wrapping Christina and Reign’s voices up in an irresistibly moving synth, pad and chord arrangement.
This “Angel”’s about to wake again! Johan’s radiant interpretation of “When My Angel Sleeps” drops today. Find it wherever the best music is streamed or sold. [blackhole.lnk.to/AngelSleepRmx]
