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.

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.
