As the holiday season approaches and the sound of sleigh bells can be heard in the distance, Canadian-Australian singer-songwriter Monique Angele brings a message of hope and joy to those who need it most this Christmas. Her new single ‘Sing Together on Christmas’ is set for release on November 14th, 2022, and it is a musical gift to everyone who is feeling lonely and isolated during these difficult times.
“Christmas is a time where we all want to be together, sing together and love one another. Through difficult times, we should all try to love one another and care for each other,” says Monique Angele. This message of love and togetherness is at the heart of her new single, which was written during one of the many Covid-19 lockdowns in Melbourne, Australia. Monique’s mother had been asking her to write a Christmas song for years, and the feelings of distance and reflection during the lockdown provided the inspiration for this special song.
“I wrote it during the time I did because it felt right, and the writing process just came out naturally. I usually always write my songs when I’m feeling something very deeply, some kind of emotion or I get inspired by something. The lyrics came first because I was thinking about how I truly felt about Christmas and especially during the pandemic. I was trying to portray a song that was happy and hopeful yet sad at the same time,” Monique Angele explains.
The song is being released alongside a powerful and stunning film clip, which features Monique singing the track in front of a magnificent natural scene. The contrast between the cool green of the nature and the vibrant red of Monique’s dress sets the scene for the Christmas theme of the song. The clip is a perfect complement to the beautiful, vulnerable, and emotional sound of the song.
Likened to the sounds of Kate Bush, Evanescence, and Queen, Monique Angele is a Canadian-Australian operatic pop singer-songwriter and pianist who takes her listeners on a journey of vulnerability and openness. Her music is drawn from her personal life experiences, and the lyrics explore deep emotions that are felt by the greater human experience. She blends classical and pop sounds to create a beautifully unique signature sound, capturing the attention of the room with her resounding, soaring vocals and pianistic finesse.
Monique’s performance history is extensive, and she is no stranger to the stage. With a background in solo piano and voice repertoire, opera, and musical theater, Monique honed her vocal skills in classical opera before deciding that performing her own music was her calling. Her live performances of her original music always convey a charismatic and elegant response from audiences and have won rave reviews wherever she performs. She has performed extensively throughout Canada, Australia, and the UK.
Whether the subject is heartbreak, seduction, anger, or light-hearted themes, Monique Angele delivers honest emotions to her listeners. Her songs range from complex instrumentals and virtuosic vocals to simple and refined moments of bliss. With her new single ‘Sing Together on Christmas’, she brings a message of hope and joy to those who need it most this holiday season, reminding us all to love one another and care for each other.
