All Angels
In the autumn of 2006, the four teenage members of All Angels were a phenomenon-in-waiting, about to deliver their debut album to an unsuspecting world. They can now justly claim to be the World’s First Female Classical Supergroup.
Releasing their Debut album at Christmas 2006, the girls shot to number 9 in the album charts and to number 2 in the Classical charts. The second released at Christmas 2007, was also a great success and to date over 500,000 copies of their albums have been sold with their first album going platinum.
In the wake of both these albums, the girls have been fortunate enough to perform in some amazing venues. In both '06 and '07 All Angels were invited to sing at the Festival of Remembrance at the Albert Hall; and from there for the Classical Brits in 2006 where they were nominated for 'Best Album' against such names as Sting and Bryn Terfel. Unfortunately they JUST lost out to Paul McCartney! There are worse things in life.
Sports events also do not slip through the grasp of All Angels, who have sung twice at Twickenham (both times England won... anyone say mascots?!) and once at the Football World Cup Final with Kelly Rowland at Wembley.
Most of all, the girls enjoy singing live and have spent much of their two years touring the country playing in magnificent palaces from Blenheim palace (for the Make A Wish Foundation) to singing in the freezing cold outside the Royal Bank of Scotland. In November 2008, they successfully recorded their third album, which will be released early this year.
Blake
From forming on Facebook in 2007 to winning the Album of the Year Award at the Classical BRITs in 2008, it has been an extraordinary journey so far for these four exceptional young singers. Bridging the gap between pop and opera, their classically trained voices are of unusual purity, and are perfectly showcased on their eponymous debut album. Their achievement of winning the publicly voted Album of the Year award is underlined by the fact that theirs is only the second debut album to have ever won the acclaimed title.
Their meteoric rise to stardom has resulted in acclaim from celebrities worldwide. In an early indication of the fame to come, Keira Knightley interrupted the recording of their debut album to say how much she loved their sound. Latterly, they’ve hung out with Will Smith, and Ewan Macgregor has even proclaimed himself a fifth member of the band. They’ve sung for Shirley Bassey (at her 70th birthday party), performed in front of 80,000 football fans at Wembley Stadium, and are managed by the same company as international icons Bryan Ferry and Darcey Bussell (The TCB Group).
Little did the boys know what was to come when they first got in touch with each other on the social networking site Facebook. Days after forming they had a major label record deal, and following that they were dispatched to a top flight studio to record songs for their debut album. Stephen Bowman, recalls that despite only singing together a handful of times:
“The sound clicked instantly; it was remarkable. It’s extremely rare to get four voices which enhance each other to produce such a distinctive sound, but with us it just worked”.
Their debut album ‘Blake’ was released in November 2007. It immediately went to number one in the UK Classical Album Chart and hit the top 20 of the UK Pop Album Chart. The polished fusion of classical music and pop, incorporating beautiful versions of the Beach Boys’ ‘God Only Knows’, the Gladiator theme music and other classical songs (all recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra) proved a hit with the British public. Within three weeks the album attained gold status in the UK, and it has now gone on to sell in excess of 100,000 copies. During their time slot for the BBC TV Children In Need appeal last year, Blake helped to raise in excess of £1,000,000.
