Apotheosis The Night we Became Heroes

Angela Verbrugge is an ambitious and resilient vocalist based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Incorporating elements of jazz, traditional pop and American Songbook, the singer engages listeners with witty lyrics and an irresistible playfulness, oftentimes evoking memories of love and loss. The Night We Couldn’t Say Good Night is a very romantic album that explores passion and love without ignoring relationship challenges. I aimed to ground the vibe in a classic 1940s to mid-50s vocal jazz aesthetic while allowing it to have its own voice as a contemporary recording with four brand new tunes. Variety is the spice of life, so I chose a nice mix of swing and Latin grooves and tempos… a song in French and one in Spanish.

The Watch is an Italian progressive rock band from Milan, originally formed in 1997 under the name 'The Night Watch', and consisted of vocalist Simone Rossetti, guitarist Franceso Zago, bassist Antonio Mauri, keyboardist Giovanni Alessi, and drummer Diego Donadio. In this formation the band released their debut album, Twilight, before the line-up collapsed in 2000 leaving only Rossetti to continue the band under the shortened name 'The Watch'. Their music is inspired by classic progressive rock style of the 1970s and in particular by the music of Genesis. Melody and energy are the main aspects of The Watch music and the live dimension is one of the greatest features of the band.
