Angelina Jordan - Song For A (by Nico Cartosio) | Reaction

[@mariaalicea1425]

We love you Angelina ❤❤❤

[@darlenestewart3542]

Its impossible to have a “favourite song “ with this musical genius. Seriously.

[@torunnowe8835]

I use to say my favorite song is the last one I listened to. So just now it is: Song for A🥰

[@charlespeterson7502]

Yes because they're all our favorites.

[@longhwalee4760]

What person at such a tender age could navigate this 18th Century Burns poem wrapped lovingly within the sharps and flats of a melodic cadence so perfectly, absolutely perfectly? Angelina is suited for such things as this - she's able to float and soar with breath, and range, the lows and highs, the pauses and poetry of her voice itself. Each time I hear this piece, it ends with me in the fields, mesmerized. That's Angelina. Mesmerizing.

[@susandoyle5632]

I love hearing new reactions to Angelina I believe she's the best vocalist on the planet

[@poolhallshark]

Agreed ♥♥♥

[@zeuso.1947]

The masterpiece of a 12-13 year old Angelina.

[@stillracer1]

I believe Angelina was 12 when she recorded this because the album was released a couple months after her 13th birthday,

[@BarrySowder]

Angelina was 12 or 13 here. The composers description: "Song for A is the only song on the album. It is performed by Angelina Jordan, a very young and very talented singer. I needed a bright final for my instrumental album. After the series of cold hells and Melting itself I longed for a song of a liberated soul, a soul that was set free from suffering. So, I remembered a beautiful poem by Robert Burns^ and wrote this song especially for Angelina. And she gave a sensual performance."

[@herbvillarreal]

When I was young and spent time outdoors on meadows at night at home sometimes my I would have a dream that I was in a meadow at night with the full moon floating among clouds and then a voice of a young woman would be singing just like Angelina as in this ethereal song with angels scattered among the stars and humming along from the heavens upon waking up I couldn’t remember the words that were sung or what the singer looked like but after hearing this song she must been Angelina’s angel spirit singing for the world 👨‍👨‍👦👨‍👨‍👧‍👦👨‍👧‍👦👩‍👧‍👧💁🏻‍♀️

[@ooshta]

Hi Nick 👋. Great reaction to 13 Angelina. Angie just turned 13 when recorded. This is what Nico said about the song, Back in April 2019. "Song for A" is the only song on the album. It is performed by Angelina Jordan, a very young and very talented singer. I needed a bright final for my instrumental album. After the series of cold hell's and Melting itself I longed for a song of a liberated soul, a soul that was set free from suffering. So, I remembered a beautiful poem by Robert Burns and wrote this song especially for Angelina. And she gave a sensual performance. We recorded the instrumental part on Abbey Road. Angelina recorded vocals later in Los Angeles. Angelina is awesome & enigmatic”- Nico Cartosio. Most people think that her voice is something from another world. I would urge anyone with an appreciation for good music to give her a listen.❤❤ God bless you 🙏. ❤🙂👍

[@RobertDeMartin]

Very nicely said, My Time! You incorporated everything of substance into your comment. Her articulation is stunning and for those who think she is purely of the jazz genre, think again. She can sing anything she chooses to.

[@kevingood4644]

She’s pretty much a full time professional vocal artist now..way passed the need for talent shows..from what I’ve seen and read she’s in huge demand by some of the music industry’s movers and shakers! You’re my no1 AJ reactor..what pleasure you give us..thx to you and AJ 🙏

[@Nevelepride]

So so beautiful! She’s so amazing!👌🥰❤️

[@anitaherbert1037]

that shows she doesn't need to have heavy vocal fry or rasp to blow us away with her soulful voice.

[@dielor3351]

You're right. At Angelina is no need for superlative technics, that she truly have, it' only her inner compass for doing it the way it must be done.

[@johnsonpaul1914]

Angelina makes it sound like she is a grown woman that knows first hand what she is singing about

[@geniej9093]

Beautiful composition for Angelina to sing.

[@RobertDeMartin]

Nick, yes, how can we say it? This performance came out of left field and took us by surprise when we first heard it. If there were any doubts this proves she can sing whatever she chooses to sing. We just listened to an absolute pro handling this new piece of music by Nico Cartosio. Nick, she will NEVER appear on another Talent Show. She's way beyond that.

[@jollyo9276]

Can you belive, - the instrumentals was recorded in London (Abbey Road studios BTW), and then sendt to Angelina in LA. Angelina did her vocal take for it. I`d love to be a witness to that prosess and that following conversation between London and LA. Like ; - "Was this OK ?" - "Just great. Super. Fantastic. Thank you soo so much. Love it." The versatility of Angelina and her talent, is the one thing that I feel is the biggest thing as it comes to my admiration for her. This reale make her stand out to me. Not only has she this amazing voice. Her immensely huge talent to put it to use in any kind of music, makes me burst from pure admiration. 🥴💖 👣🤗

[@MICHAELASHER.]

Cartosio, produced an incredible album called melting, all beautiful music, he reserved only one singing piece( that he said, was to be a song of redemption.) He felt Angelina, at ten years old( almost 11, incase someone makes issue) could sing this, Thus " Song for A."

[@terryfelton2208]

Cartosio wrote this for Angelina; thus the title. The text is a poem from the 1700's by Robert Burns.

[@dojoswitzer]

The title probably has double meaning, since the song’s character is Annie.

[@terryfelton2208]

@@dojoswitzer I agree, but feel that if he had just meant Annie, he would have used that instead of the initial.

[@dojoswitzer]

@@terryfelton2208 …Then it could not have a double meaning.

Es magistralmente interpretado y magicamente enviado para abrir todos los sentimientos positivos para sentir un relax sin precedentes !! Es simplemente Angelina Jordan nuestro Angel que nos canta con su corazon !!

[@ewelina8b]

Beautiful song, beautiful voice. ❤❤❤

[@cathymckee1255]

This song was written for Angelina by Nico❤

[@CarlD70]

Thanks Nick. Love this song and sung so stunningly beautiful by Angelina. His album "Melting" was released in 2019 so we can probably assume Angelina recorded this at around age 12-13. Here is what Nico had to say: The composers description: "Song for A is the only song on the album. It is performed by Angelina Jordan, a very young and very talented singer. I needed a bright final for my instrumental album. After the series of cold hells and Melting itself I longed for a song of a liberated soul, a soul that was set free from suffering. So, I remembered a beautiful poem by Robert Burns^ and wrote this song especially for Angelina. And she gave a sensual performance."

[@jonathanfielding7387]

Well said.

[@jeffreyyenior9757]

She was actually 10 years old when she recorded this.

[@alberttenfoot]

@@jeffreyyenior9757 I'd be interested to learn how you come to that conclusion. That would suggest that Nico Cartosio wrote the song and recorded the melody and sent it to Angelina over two years before he released "Melting" in 2019.

[@jeffreyyenior9757]

​@@alberttenfoothave you listened to the album? Full orchestra with extremely complicated composition, who also had other obligations? 2+ years doesn't surprise me at all. It would surprise me if it didn't. I looked at his channel for the comments but they're shut off.

[@alberttenfoot]

@@jeffreyyenior9757 Yes, I have listened to the album on many occasions and agree it is a very complex piece, but am not convinced that that is sufficient to put Angelina's age at 10.

[@tomcollins9805]

This is a lovely, soothing song and. It could not have been done any better. I have listened to the album Nico released with this song on it. With the exception of this song the album is all instrumental. It’s pleasant listen, and when this comes on it’s quite the treat.

[@lesbrunswick5137]

Angelina's artistry in this performance, what she chooses to do with her voice and how well she does it, is just astounding, it is beyond belief.

[@ClaudioMarcucci7756]

This is poetry transformed into music, Angelina's voice is so eclectic that it captivates you in every situation. She is absolutely my favorite daily company and you are never bored. 💛🧡❤

[@rosiesullivan2604]

Wow❤😂 this was both unusual and smooth fantastic never heard her sing like this before usually is jazzy blues Billie Etta soul Adele Elvis MJ Whitney Roberta for a split second I heard also in this slow moody style Debbie Reynolds and Doris Day she can sing more than 1000 faces over 100 years 😊😊❤ well done Angelina !!!

[@andyschnell58]

Nick, I wonder how many times you have said "this is my favorite from Angelina". I believe Angelina was 13 when she recorded this song. Nico Cartosio wrote this song, based on 1783 poem by Scottish poet Robert Burns, specifically for Angelina to sing. That is why Nico titled the song, "Song for A" with the "A" referring to Angelina. Nick I look forward to my other patreon request, "La Boheme" kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4TdpqRmn9eSd9k Happy June to everyone. I get a new Patreon request and we believe we will get a EP from Angelina this month with new original songs.

[@dhamma58]

@Andy Nice to see that among the multitude of possible songs the ones that I usually request are here...often with Wicked Game as well. Keep bringing Nick back to the fold and maybe he will also hit the new stuff coming up!

[@rickrack4812]

He should hear the traditional Scottish Ale Pub rowdy version !!!! Contrast.

[@rickrack4812]

Andy, I often wondered, A for Annie, or A for Angelina?... Fits both ways, but I prefer to think the latter.

[@andyschnell58]

@@rickrack4812 As far as I know the "A" stands for Angelina since he wrote the song for her to sing.

[@lesgray8709]

The instrumental was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, with Angelina recording the vocal in LA. She certainly connect to the music and gave us this magically smooth rendition. Somehow I feel that the word versatile does not go far enough in describing her range of talent... But Nick, every time you hear a new performance you say that it's the best ever - how much better do you think it can get? Just keep reacting to Angelina and find out!(don't forget to have something to wave ready yo hand).

[@BUDSBEAU]

you do realize Angelina was on Americas Got Talent The Champions . she finished in the top 10 but she was screwed over because she refused to sign a contract with the show. she has a new album coming out soon and her first song from that album has been released with a video. its called " Love Dont Let Me Go". freaking amazing song that Angelina wrote herself !!! she had said all the songs on this album would be originals. cant wait to hear more from the new album !!!

Thanks Nick always enjoy your AJ reactions, give her anything to sing and it will belong to her, why would you want to listen to anyone else when she has a 1000 voices all the best at what ever she does , she is light years beyond compare and she's only been practicing, now about to start full time. Every time she does something new it's like Christmas, what a blessing she is for all the joy and love she gives to this world.💗

[@markkleckner3060]

Awesome reaction and her range is unmatched! You can't go by listening to just a few songs of hers, she is all over the place. I don't think there is an Artist that could do the variation she does with so much Quality, God Bless!

[@kenvo343]

another wonderful demonstration of AJ's versatility. I hope some movie directors will make some period piece and incorporate this gorgeous AJ's rendition as its theme. Timeless beauty.

[@clmenterprises08]

A song for A was written specifically to be sung by Angelina Jordan, Hince (" The Song For A" = Angelina). If I'm not mistaken I believe Angelina was 12 years of age when this was recorded. It was released April 17, 2019 after she turned 13 in the month of January.

[@larrypifer1103]

Angelina could sing the phone book and it would be a masterpiece. “Song For A” was composed for Angelina Jordan, and her alone. The original lyrics came from a poem by Robert Burns written in the 1700’s and was put to music by Nico Cartosio on his album “Melting”. “Song For A” is the only vocal on the album all other pieces are instrumentals, and they are beautiful. The song was recorded after AJ’s family moved to LA so she would have been 13 at the time. The sounds of her voice on this recording will take you places you have never been before. This is a marvelous recording. To explain it I will use the composer's description: "Song For A" from Nico Cartosio's album "Melting". "Song for A is the only song on the album. It is performed by Angelina Jordan, a very young and very talented singer. I needed a bright final for my instrumental album. After the series of cold hells and Melting itself I longed for a song of a liberated soul, a soul that was set free from suffering. So, I remembered a beautiful poem by Robert Burns and wrote this song especially for Angelina. And she gave a sensual performance." Angelina Jordan Astar is my favorite living singer, and this song is perfect for her unique voice. She is a remarkable young lady, brilliant, altruistic, and totally admirable. Her voice is something from another world. I would urge anyone with an appreciation for good music to give her a listen.

[@RachelDacusAuthor]

So happy you reacted to this awesome song! Written for Angelina to sing, with her silky and jazzy voice. Perfection!

[@jamessceeles4397]

Rigs and ridges are interchangeable; she may have chose ridges for phonetics or because ridge is more common than rig in usage. Beautiful song by Angelina none the less.

[@cherylkurucz8852]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@DonaldLancon]

Since the album this was on (Nico's) was released in mid-April 2019, I think we can be reasonably certain that she sang it when she was still 12. (Even if it was the last thing recorded for the album, which it may well have been, 3 months from recording to album release is probably an impossibly short turnaround time.)

[@OleOlson121]

[@ros8737]

This eerie melody wouldn’t be beautiful with a lesser controlled pitch of a voice. The music is like from the time of a young Judy Garland.

I think she was 10 when she sang this‼️

[@anitaherbert1037]

Yet somehow she somehow she did not make it to the final 5 of Americas Got Talent The Champions. No wonder there was outrage and controversy. Especially as we saw how many views she got compared to the others. I sometimes wondered if she wrote 7TH HEAVEN to tell herself not to waste time on bitterness.

A Song For A (This based on a poem by Robert Burns) If you want to experience a hauntingly beautiful song by Angelina Jordan that was written exclusively for her, try this one. A Song For A AJ had just moved from Norway to LA and was 13 years old, the album "Melting" was recorded in the Abby Road Studio in London, and A Song For A, written for AJ was recorded in LA. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnbYimSfYpyshLs These are not typos in the text of the words, this is1700's speak and writing.

Doris Day, Julie Andrewsr Recorded age 13... This is Nico's last track on album... THE ONLY VOCAL, he made it ONLY for AJ to sing.

Doris Day from the 50s is some one that Angelina sounds like .

[@williamarmstrong9008]

Starting at age of one and a half and she’s 17 now so she got a law practice under her belt. She’s very season you call it I am not affect your generation singer on the best thing I’ve heard all my whole lifetime of hours I was she was one and a half singing jazz which I love I like all kinds of music jazz. A great is very complicated hard thing to say but Angela has mastered it because she started it and listen to it started like if she does all her music he put ours at practice and Nick. And she’s been republic records that she was 14 years of age 17 oh January 10, 2024 should be 18 And she just now got her star on the Hollywood walk of fame

@@sliantemhaith3065 She did a collaboration with TRXD a Norwegian Electronic Dance Music group who I believe are signed with Sony. Above the Water is the song by TRXD ft Angelina Jordan. Maybe she signed a one-off contract for this TRXD song, but her label is Republic Records.
