“Greene’s anticipation-fuelled, melancholic garage production is the perfect foil to ANGO’s soulful R&B vocal” — Dummy Mag

Canadian singer / songwriter ANGO delivers the visuals to “True Blue”, one of the standout tracks from his full-length album Serpentine released last summer via ango.ca and LuckyMe.

ANGO’s soulful vocals and earnest lyrics glide over an instrumental masterpiece layed by longtime collaborator Jacques Greene – the two having also teamed up on “Flatline” from Greene’s Concealer EP and “Perfume” featured on the Vase compilation EP earlier this year. On “True Blue”, ANGO’s ethereal voice and confessional tone strike a delicate balance between melancholy and hope, anguish and aspiration. Greene’s layered arrangements build a climactic ascent, providing a soundscape that evokes soulful R&B, garage and UK Bass all at once.

In the video, various shades of blue appear in a dreamlike environment where ANGO confronts the object of his affection, and ultimately leaves the viewer pondering about the ambiguous nature of love and relationships.

Closing out a prolific year that began with the release of his debut Another City Now vinyl EP with LuckyMe and his heralded cover of Sade‘s “No Ordinary Love” delivered as a free download on Valentine’s Day, ANGO teamed up with Lunice and Prison Garde this summer for the Avant Gang EP released with Red Bull Music Academy. He later contributed a momentus guest appearance on Zulu Guru – Jesse Boykins III and Melo-X‘s full length release on Ninja Tune this fall. His coup de force came with the release of Serpentine, a full length conceptual album that featured production from Jacques Greene, Kuedo, and Numan among others- unleashing a bigger and bolder creative output from ANGO and cemeting his role as a pioneer of progressive R&B. The lead single “Paralyzed” was premiered by Pitchfork.
