The
‘Little Mermaid’ star delivers a powerhouse vocal performance on top of orchestral
arrangements and silky, R&B groove
Global superstar Halle makes a
splash with the release of her debut single “Angel.” Produced by GRAMMY®
Award-winning producer, songwriter, and composer Theron “NeffU” Feemster (Michael
Jackson, Justin Bieber, Ne-Yo), the track weaves a cinematic soundscape with a
R&B groove punctuated by orchestral arrangements. This backdrop highlights
her skyscraping range as the powerful, provocative, and passionate lyrics
captivate, “Heaven knows your wings can weigh you down, but angels make a
way somehow.” After the
widespread conversation around The Little Mermaid, “Angel” offers a
reflection on Halle’s commitment to empower and uplift young women around the
world, “but if we fall, we fall on clouds.” Listen to the anthemic track

The track arrives with an exquisite
official video directed by Wendy Morgan (Alicia
Keys, Janelle Monae, Lous And The Yakuza), watch HERE. “Angel” made its global premiere on BET Soul,
BET Her, MTV Live, MTVU, MTV Biggest Pop and across MTV’s global network of
channels, as well as on the Paramount Times Square billboards.
“This song for me is so very special and
near and dear to my heart,” says Halle. “With everything I’ve gone through the
past 3-4 years, suddenly finding myself in this bubble of all these eyes and
new opinions, it was easy for me to feel doubt in myself and who I was. This
song for me was my climb out of those feelings, a mantra and promise to myself
that the work I’m doing here on earth matters and that I matter. I wanted to be
able to embrace and be proud of myself and who I am naturally through and
through. I hope other brown and black girls and everyone in general feel
embraced, respected, and inspired hearing the words of this song.”
Halle shines as a four-time GRAMMY®
Award-nominated multiplatinum singer and songwriter, show-stopping performer,
and dynamic actress across film and television. She initially captivated
audiences as one-half of the acclaimed R&B duo Chloe x Halle alongside her
sister Chloe Bailey. The pair delivered two fan favorite full-length albums,
including The Kids Are Alright [2018] and Ungodly Hour [2020].
The latter bowed in the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 and Top 3 of the Top
R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart in addition to yielding the platinum single “Do
It.” Along the way, they notably gathered four GRAMMY® Award nominations,
including “Best New Artist.” Beyond magazine covers and
television performances, they ignited the stage during the On The Run II
Tour co-headlined by Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Simultaneously, Halle landed a
recurring role on the hit Grown-Ish as Skylar “Sky” Forster before
breathing new life into Disney’s 2023 live-action blockbuster reimagining of The
Little Mermaid. Next up, Halle stars in the remake of The Color Purple
in the classic role of Young Nettie Harris. Produced by Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg,
and Quincy Jones, it opens in theaters everywhere this fall.
