Mcluskey,Angela Roxy Sessions CD

2016 solo release from singer/songwriter Angela McCluskey, best known for her work with The Wilde Colonials. The Roxy Sessions features a wide range of styles and genres from vintage James Bond themes and surf guitar vibes to post-modern space age chill outs. Songs such as 'Paris to Hollywood', a bright & breezy carefree inter-continental romance, 'Hit & Run', a trippy groove laden gem, 'Turn Out the Lights', a modern take on Bond and 'Electric Sky', a cinematic monster of a chill-out track, round out this album. The idea for The Roxy Sessions was inspired by Angela McCluskey's Time Warp, an event Angela created where she chooses a decade and recreates a night around that theme. After recording a track for the HBO hit show Boardwalk Empire, Angela was inspired to do a 1920's themed night, complete with the music, dancing, costumes and ambiance of a Paris Cabaret. Fully embracing the decadent nostalgia of the Prohibition era, the event was an enormous success. Angela and her producer Kiran penned 10 original songs at the Roxy Hotel in 3 weeks. Using the roaring '20s as inspiration, the pair added a modern beat and fashioned an addictive blend of electro swing that propels listeners to the dance floor in a feel good frenzy.
