WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...
“With a voice that echoes Joni Mitchell, Tori Amos and Laura Nyro but remains very much her own… Angela Josephine shows herself to be a poetic songwriter able to pen songs that get under the shield of the post modern muse with power and poignancy.”
-Tony Cummings, Cross Rhythms Magazine, UK
"Angela is the kind of artist that pulls from multiple worlds - musical, visual, and poetic. In this way, she is comfortable being different, comfortable being who and what God is making her to be.”
- John Pisciotta, Producer, Paradiso Music, Nashville, TN
“Could this be the ‘Laura Nyro’ of modern-day Christian music? I love this CD! Josephine’s commitment is evident and her music is fresh and new.”
- Nicole Philibosian, Voice Instructor to Jewel
“Come meet an acoustic folk artist with plenty of originality, soul and musical quintessence. …Going against the grain of pop culture, Angela’s voice and lyrics are innovative in every way. With raw and intimate vocals full of flavorful expression that grace such novel artists as Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Maria McKee of Lone Justice, Linda Ronstadt, Tori Amos, and with just a touch of Sarah McLachlan, this is a CD that stands out in the midst of the typical musical cliché.
- Sonia Vannest, 2006 Christian Artist of the Year, Independent Music Awards
“Her writing and production are literally an art form. Angela varies in style and this album deserves a close listen. …Angela’s God-given voice combined with intelligent lyrics and catchy hooks augurs well for her musical future.”
- Paul Gentry, Sockspider.com
“I stopped in a local Christian bookstore to pick up two of Larry Norman’s landmark albums from the early 70’s (ONLY VISITING THIS PLANET and IN ANOTHER LAND). The clerk looked at me like I was from another planet and asked me if I listened to any “new” Christian music. I said – with the exception of Rich Mullins, Glenn Kaiser, and a few other kindred spirits – no, because I find most of what passes for Christian music to be boring. Most of it simply mimics what the rest of the music world is doing. It’s formulaic, cookie-cutter music. That was before I had heard of singer songwriter Angela Josephine. Now I would include her on my list of kindred spirits.”
– John Clark, Jam Rag Magazine, Detroit, MI
"I can't thank you enough for offering your ministry so freely and for being such a winsome example of God's love to our youth and our congregation. What a memorable weekend!"
-Clark Cothern, Author & Pastor, Living Water Community, Ypsilanti, MI
“We received lots of great feedback on both your music and the paintings. I would love to have you back again.”
- Kevin Newton, President & Founder, Unity Christian Music Festival, Muskegon, MI
“Angela artfully melds her faith with culturally relevant expressions that will speak to believers and non-believers. She is as much a minister of the gospel as a musician.”
- Randy Bremmer, Senior Pastor and Founder, The ARK Church, Borculo, MI
"Thanks so much for your music. It was a high point in worship that will be remembered here for many years!"
- Dr. Mike Becker, Pastor – First Presbyterian Church, Portage, IN
“I just wanted to thank you again for the amazing performance Saturday night for our retreat! It was awesome! I hope to see you again in concert...”
- Jackie Kiel, Student, Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, Tomah, WI
"Angela's ministry is soothing and ethereal, yet down to Earth, meeting people where they are and helping them connect with the heart of God. I highly recommend her for any venue, large or intimate."
- Joey "O" - Copey's Christian Coffeehouse, Easton, PA
“It never ceases to amaze me how the common bond with Christ made our families so comfortable together. Although we had just met I felt as though we had all known each other for many years.You have been blessed with many gifts and are using them for the glory of God. I admire that greatly.”
- Barry Trantham, Flushing United Methodist Church, Flushing, MI
“I would just like to personally *THANK YOU* for your wonderful talents at the U.P. Christian Fest!!!! You did a wonderful job and we are blessed to have had your beautiful voice at the fest. God Bless and keep singing for the Lord!! You are a blessing!”
- Sharon Bodenus, President, U.P. Christian Music Fest, Marquette, MI
“Thank you so much for your beautiful gift of music to House of Hope yesterday. It really was terrific. The kids enjoyed their "duet" with you, too. It's a neat way to get the residents actively involved. You are so creative to think of that! The day was great all the way round and your set was the ideal icing on the cake.”
- Craig O’Connor, Board of Directors, House of Hope, Traverse City, MI
“The first annual Family Life Expo is now over. What a great day! Thank you SO much for sharing your gifts with us. I heard SO many wonderful comments, not only about your music, but about your overall spirit. What a testimony to God’s work in your life.”
-Susan Schnerer, Admissions and Corporate Relations, Spring Arbor University, Traverse City, MI
"As a Folk/Contemporary Christian musician and songwriter, her songs cut straight to the heart and soul. Her music calms the cries of the lost, rejoices with the joyful and brings courage to the fearful."
- Andrea Sutton, The Upper Room Newsletter, Boyne City, MI
"This is the kind of stuff that deserves to be heard by a wider audience… uplifting and truly inspirational!"
- Tom Ledermann, 4th Street Productions, Royal Oak, MI
"My daughter said, "I wish Angela could be our Sunday School teacher all the time." She clearly got the message God gave you to share with them, and she spoke with enthusiasm about the story you shared, how you tied it into Scripture, even how God gave you the feather when you were seeking something from Him before you came. It was clearly from Him, and it made a deep impression."
-Anonymous
“I saw an ad for your CD in CCM. The short description led me to the indie website. I'm listening to the CD right now. IT IS AWESOME!!! Your talent is amazing! I can't wait to share it with my friends.”
- Beth, New Orleans
"The spirit of the Lord was with you in such a powerful way that night. Because of your surrender,
obedience and faithfulness to Christ, my family and our lives have been deeply touched. Thank you for being an inspiration and positive, powerful Christian witness to my kids."
- Jerry DeRousse, Audience Member
