2018 ALBUM: WOMAN, Pt.1 & 2

This features appearances from WSTRN's Haile and GIGGS on highlight track 'Fly' bring a modern Trap-R&B vibe of the likes of contemporaries such as Bryson Tiller's and Eric Bellinger, who features with Angel for the second time on the song 'No FLutes', which is also the opening track of the album. The soulful, yet laid back hit "Thug Juice" gives a nod to 2Pac's smash "Thug Passion", providing a welcome trip down memory lane. The album was initially released in two parts, 1 and 2, but soon followed by the entire release featuring 14 tracks and later, Acoustic versions of R&B tracks 'Nothing Wrong', 'Risk it all' and 'Thug Juice'. 'Thug Juice' Has sonorities that remind drawn on the 90's R&B era with sounds reminiscing of popular artist of the time such as R.Kelly, H-Town or BlackStreet. WOMAN's first music video for the title 'Nothing wrong' makes references to R.Kelly tracks 'Honey Love' (1991) and 'Bump N' Grind' (1993).

Personal life

Angel grew up in Shepherd's Bush in West London, with his two brothers and two sisters. His father is Grenadian. Angel drew his main influence from his father, former manager and talented musician Tendai Charles, a professional keyboardist who accompanied an array of Reggae music talents including Kaya, Bob Marley and Dennis Brown.[8]

His brother, Akelle Charles,[9] found fame in summer 2015 with his track "In2" (featuring Haile and Louis Rei). The song racked up thousands of views and was signed to Atlantic Records,[10] and the three artists released the song under the new stage name WSTRN.[11][12]
