Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Angela Chambers has been a treasure in the underground dark synth scene for several years. As a member of the nouveau-new beat project Dust, the new wave-inspired Waking Dreams, and Berlin-based art collective Neu West, her creative energy knows no bounds. Recently, the chameleon-esque Chambers has been releasing a string of singles under her own name, operating in a more alternative pop-based sphere, expanding her sonic palate to incorporate a series of more eclectic influences. With that in mind, we’re honored to premiere the video for the new single “Say It to My Face.” Check it out below.
“Say It to My Face” is a glossy, dark pop gem featuring throbbing low-end, syncopated synth leads and r&b-flavored beats and snaps that call both Annie Lennox and Lana Del Rey to mind. Chambers’ vocals are both smooth and biting as she delivers lines that drip with passion, seemingly wearing her heart on her sleeve as the song takes flight with an incredibly catchy and massive chorus. The video, shot on location in Los Angeles and directed by Jonathan Mariande, features Chambers in a lavish, disco ball-inspired dress, masquerading in a beautiful poolside mansion with stained glass windows and similarly ornate features. The video doubles up on the track’s scathing lyrics and passionate delivery, with Chambers delivering a tour de force performance, supported by Konstantina Focas, also pantomiming key moments as a more subdued domestic worker.
Chambers is currently collaborating with Nashville-based producer Doug Romanow and Grammy-award winning producer Bruce Sugar, with an EP due out this year followed by a full-length LP in 2025.
