She is 17 year old now and her big international career is starting up this summer. She has been performing around the world after she was 7 years old. She is from Norway but has lived in the US since she was 12 years old. Made a record deal personally with CEO of Republic Records when she was 14 years old. Her debut album is coming this summer or fall, she has been going to high school in LA and will graduate very soon from there.
I have been listening all kind of music for decades and the Stones has been maybe my favorite artist all this time though I respect many other aritst from 60's and 70's also very much.
This is maybe the first time ever that some vocalist has touched my soul this deeply. "Talented" is a major understatement for Angelina.
She has started singing when she was 1,5 years old and started to sing mainly jazz/blues when she was 3 years old. She has also made outstanding covers of the songs of Elvis/Whitney Houston/Adele/Rihanna/Amy Winehouse etc.
Her biggest musical idols are though Billi Holliday/Etta James/Ella Fitzgerald/Dianah Washington/Frank Sinatra.
Elvis is also a very strong influence for her. Some people say even she is like a female Elvis.
She can sing without any extra effort jazz/blues/soul/rock/pop/country and she arranges the songs herself (already at 9 years old), commands the bands/orchestras herself (already at 9 years old). In addition to this she also makes her own material.
She is like some time machine had transferred her from 40's/50's/60's/ to this day.
In Youtube there are almost 200 videos of her performances. She can sing live perfectly in pitch and in timing.
I don't care so much for example Adele's songs when Adele sings them herself but as Angelina's renditions I have become a huge fan of some of those songs.
Her version on James Brown's "It's A Man's World" is the best version IMO I have ever heard by anyone. And she sang this live when she was 12 years old.
Quincy Jones said she is the most talented young artist he has ever witnessed since Michael Jackson.
I strongly recommend to listen to some of her songs in Youtube. She is extraordinary. Chris Walker who is a Stones fan also even keeps his own Youtube Channel just for Angelina: "The Angelina Jordan Fan Channel".
This "Lovin' You" (her own changes to lyrics) is just a tiny bit of example what this singer can actually do, but because the Stones have recorded the same song, I just put it here as one example. There are fantastic performances from her beginning when she was 7 years old. She was first time in a professional studio when she was 6 years old.
There are about 20000 different reaction videos made to her performances in Youtube so far. You read right. 20000.
