Magnolia Park vocalist Joshua Roberts has revealed yet another side of his impressive musical range with his upbeat and soulful new single, “Angel“, out today. Carried by pulsating 80’s style synths, funky guitar rhythm and reverberating bass groove, the new age R&B/pop track with an alternative twist is sure to get you on the dance floor. Listen to the song now below.
Speaking of the song, Roberts says, “‘Angel’ has a fun Michael Jackson/The Weeknd vibe that the world has been missing. I put on my dancing shoes and my falsettos soar for everyone to hear.”
Depicting a softer side to Joshua Roberts, his solo music trades in high-energy pop-punk hooks and spirited anthems for a more mellow, heartfelt sound. Aside from his work with Magnolia Park, the vocalist and songwriter has been featured on tracks by everyone from 408 to labelmates poptropicaslutz! and plxntkid. Like many of the greats, he grew up singing in church but seeing Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” for the first time was an awakening for him to find his own voice and pursue his calling. He sees this solo venture as a personal journey to push himself not only creatively, but to also grow as an individual, stating, “It’s a whole side of me that I never talk about or share, so it’s a scary venture for sure but it’s something I feel I needed to take.”
