Release Notes:
Angela Bofill proved herself extremely adroit at doing Latin,
jazz, and R&B with equal finesse on her debut, Angie. Angel of
the Night is the highly anticipated sophomore set originally
released on GRP when it was distributed on Arista. With such a
comfortable style well suited to Bofill's voice, this doesn't
veer that far away from the work on the first album. The first
track, the immediately classic "I Try," is beautifully sung,
dramatic, and offers no false moments. The title track is just
as effective in a gentle and lilting way.
The producers David Grusin and Larry Rosen, who also worked on
Jon Lucien's 1973-1975 albums, cover some ambitious territory
with a rich-voiced, quirky singer here as well. The epic "The
Voyage" has the producers' sense of drama, a perfect match for
Bofill's deliberate delivery, which is oddly though sweetly
reminiscent of Lucien. "What I Wouldn't Do (For the Love of
You)" and "The Feelin's Love" bring her to a more customary,
sleek R&B material with her trademark vocals making them even
better.
The only thing that qualifies as a miss is a disco-style take
on Thom Bell and Linda Creed's "People Make the World Go
'Round." It's not that bad, though. Angel of the Night is one
of Bofill's finest and most charming albums. Any fan of
sophisticated late-'70s R&B/Latin jazz need to have this in
their collection.
