Nashville-based singer Angela Easley has made a name for herself in a variety of music genres, including country, R&B, and folk. Her fifth album, “Rise,” has been a hit on the Billboard and Soundscan charts since its second-quarter release. The lead single, “I Can Let Go,” has received acclaim from R&B audiences, with Angela on piano and backed by a horn section and guitar. Special guests, The McCrary Sisters, also appear in the video. Angela’s follow-up single, the race relations unity anthem “Rise,” aims to inspire listeners.
For the third single from “Rise,” Angela Easley tackles a complicated relationship in “Don’t Let The Devil Down.” Roots Music Report said the song has reached #1 on the Contemporary Blues charts and peaked at #76 on the Music Row Radio chart. The catchy track is a country-rock kiss-off that requires close listening for its full impact.
According to Angela, the idea for the song came from Lori Kelley. “She had taken it to other artists, but they all turned her down because they were afraid it would be misunderstood,” Angela explained. “The song is about someone in a bad relationship whose partner is constantly accusing them of cheating. She refers to the man as ‘the devil.’ And since ‘the devil’ insists she’s out with other men, she decides to give ‘the devil’ exactly what he thinks. I think it’s clever!”
In addition to her singing career, Angela is also a talented musician and songwriter. She is able to write and produce her own music and play a variety of instruments, making music in the genres of country, gospel, and roots. Angela Easley’s diverse range of skills and dedication to her craft makes her a standout in the Nashville music scene.
