It’s always the same story, isn’t it? Someone hits the end of the road, looks around, and figures the only thing left to do is reinvent themselves. The familiar feeling of trying to shake off yesterday’s heartbreak, to somehow start fresh, even when it feels like you’re drowning in the same old mess. And in those moments of vulnerability, sometimes the wrong choice is made: a destiny; a collective. And then it all comes down to the company you keep.
In the new single Wrong Girl, LA siren Angela Chambers sings it with that powerful voice of hers, pulling you through the fog, fighting her own battles between light and dark. You can almost see her, shedding the skin that tied her to that shiny, plastic world, trading one identity for another, like changing costumes in the middle of a scene. It’s a reminder that no matter how polished the production, there’s always a struggle beneath the glitter. The hook will get in your head, reminding you that your autonomy is everything in this world. Bringing to mind a Florence and the Machine meets Marina and Annie Lennox vibe, this is the kind of anthem you want to blare loudly when you’re in sore need of a morale boost. It’s pure blazing sunshine.
In the Jonathan Mariande-directed video for Wrong Girl, Chambers portrays a few different characters: the Godzilla femme fatale in black latex manipulating the plane, the dominatrix superhero battling Godzilla while everyone else that keeps trying to drag her down, and the innocent Hollywood glam ego girl who once thought she was on top of the world, flying high on private jets, but she has no clue that she is totally out of control of her own destiny and is being manipulated by Godzilla Femme and the cronies she surrounds herself with

Angela Chambers—her voice as vibrant as a sudden storm, her flute as fluid as wind weaving through trees—bends the borders between Alternative Pop and Rock, her songs steeped in the raw marrow of everyday life. Born in the quiet reaches of Eastern North Carolina, where her father’s old vinyl records spun tales of music’s hold, she found herself drawn, body and soul, into the embrace of melody. Her father’s guitar, her brother’s band—they lit the fire. By 2014, she’d left the familiar hum of New York for the electrifying pulse of Berlin, crafting her first solo EP in the creative crucible of Neu West. Europe became a canvas for collaboration—TV scores with Schneider TM’s Dirk Dresselhaus, two albums with Waking Dreams. And still, she surges forward, songs simmering with stories of the heart, a full album on the horizon. New collaborations wait, along with videos and live performances poised to blaze.
