ANGELICA BOVE

Her debut album cuts like a blade of melancholy: stripped back, beautifully understated, just under half an hour long, with no forced features or unnecessary fillers. Exactly how great singer-songwriter pop should be. Angelica Bove stepped into the world of recorded music wearing a pair of white wings and a cigarette between her lips, framed by a sparse, almost vintage setting.

There’s something timeless about the way her voice breaks just as each song reaches its emotional peak. It’s a devastating gesture—one that leans on remarkable technical control only to let it fall apart, because at the heart of every great song, the soul has to shine through.

On September 11, Angelica Bove will make her Poplar debut, turning Doss into a place entirely her own.
