Angel Haze releases debut album 'Dirty Gold'

Angels Haze’s debut album ‘Dirty Gold’ is out now on Island/Republic.

‘Dirty Gold’ - described as “a rap album crossed with a confessional singer-songwriter album” – finds Angel Haze covering deeply personal subjects including her dysfunctional relationship with her mother on ‘Black Dahlia’ and horrific childhood abuse on ‘Cleaning Out My Closet’.

Talking about the album to Rolling Stone magazine, Angel Haze describes it as “a melting pot of a ton of different genres”.  ‘A Tribe Called Red’ is a cauldron of oscillating synths, chants, claps and hollers, whilst ‘Deep Sea Diver’ is all discordant bass drones and eerie electronics. The love themed piano ballad ‘Planes Fly’ contrasts with the album’s first single ‘Echelon’ (It’s My Way)’ – a propulsive hip-hop jam that showcases her sense of fun,

The Guardian award 4 stars, and hail 'Dirty Gold' as a “brave and original” debut, noting that “Haze is a smart, striking and original lyricist”. Metro also give a 4 star review, commenting, "right now, 22-year-old Angel Haze is the hottest female name in the hip hop/R&B-pop world."
