 Notes  
     Born Angela Grant on November 24th into a family of five, singer Angel
     Grant sang in the church choir and school while growing up in Columbus, GA.
     Her demo tape found its way to mega-producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis,
     and Grant signed with the duo's Flyte Tyme Records in 1997. Her first
     single, "Lil' Red Boat", was released in May 1998.
     Her debut CD Album was released on July 2, 1998, as the first release from
     Flyte Tyme Records distributed through Uptown/Universal. With contributions
     from frequent Jam & Lewis collaborator Big Jim Wright, Alex Richbourg
     ,bassist Paul Johnson, and Stevie Wonder, "Album" is an exceptional debut
     for both Grant and Jam & Lewis' label.
     "Album" is refreshingly retro and eclectic and allows the singer to exhibit
     her personality; Grant co-wrote all the songs with the producers and
     Wright. At times, Grant sounds like Janet Jackson, who was formerly
     produced by Jam and Lewis, and like Jackson's "Control", "Album" can be
     played all the way through. The CD's overall sound could be described as
     organic because the tracks flow into each other, both literally (there are
     no audio gaps) and musically.
     Besides Jam & Lewis' trademark strong melodies, "Album" has positive and
     playful lyrics: 'The lights are on but there's nobody home/He's dumb, but
     he's cute/He's dumb, but he's so cute' from "Knockin". All involved seemed
     to want to record an album as opposed to a collection of singles. Standout
     tracks are "Lil' Red Boat", the album opener "Hey You", the lilting slow
     jam "Kisses Luv Lips" (reminiscent of Patrice Rushen and Roy Ayers), the
     introspective "Illusions" and "Deeper".
     The rock guitar-laced self-reliance anthem "Anyway" ('Mama told me never to
     give a man more respect than I give to myself/and if I hang with losers
     I'll never win'), the tentative "Well, Okay, I'll Say It (I'm 'N Luv With
     U)" (featuring the wistful harmonica of Stevie Wonder), the sweetly
     romantic "Whenever You Cry", "Live Your Life", and the strings-drenched
     ballad "I Love You".
     In winter 1999, "Lil' Red Boat" (the 'Big Jim Mix') from the 12-inch
     version became a favorite with the steppers crowd in Chicago and other
     markets. Residing in Minnesota, Grant is no longer signed to Flyte Tyme but
     still is pursuing a career in the arts.
