Angela Inkson’s ‘The Real You’ Is a Powerful Anthem of Authenticity
In a pop culture that often revels in superficiality and excess, Angela Inkson reminds us that sometimes, less really can be more.

Musically, The Real You hits on an emotional level. Angela’s voice has that combination of vulnerability and strength, navigating through an acoustic sound very naturally. She’s always been one of those artists who puts her all into her music. “There’s no better feeling than pouring your heart and soul into your music,” she shares.

And if you think this is just another heartbreak ballad about a bad relationship, then think again. Angela Inkson changes the script, and she transforms the pain into strength. Rather than feeling sorry for herself over the breakdown of a relationship, she gets people to own their truth. It's not just a message about romantic relationships, but also about friendships, family, and even our relationship we have with ourselves. This level of emotion is what makes The Real You an expression of the listener's own life.
For those who’d like to see Angela live, she’ll be performing at Live Aid Liverpool on July 13, followed by a show at Devafest in Cheshire. A lot of times music expresses what words can't and that's exactly the kind of experience this will be. In a world that’s always telling us to put on a mask, The Real
