Toronto singer-songwriter Angela Saini captivates audiences with instantly-memorable country roots pop, celebrating courage and finding joy in surprising places. With several Canadian tours under her belt, as well as treks across Germany, England and The Netherlands, the positive and upbeat songstress has been called “massively talented” by BBC Radio. A 2020 Independent Music Award Finalist for “Best Alt Country” and 2017 Toronto Independent Music Award winner, she uplifts and inspires audiences with songs that make you want to take a leap of faith and trust in the process.
Her empathic and upbeat new single, “Wanna Be You,” blends mandolin with acoustic guitar and warm production to strip back and interrogate the patterns of comparison we engage in far too easily thanks to social media. As the song develops, she recognizes the value of herself and her own individuality, with a singalong refrain which emphasizes the importance of finding the courage to love oneself.
“Wanna Be You” is an empowering anthem encouraging self-love with the courage to be yourself, in an age of comparison, competition, and not feeling good enough. – Angela Saini
