Album Description

Glam Sam And His Combo, the Swedish groove-jazz mastermind, joins forces with the powerful UK singer-songwriter Angelina on their striking new album “Talkin’ In Colour”. The record blends jazz, soul, funk, and storytelling into a bold and cinematic collaboration. This interesting and deeply personal album will be released on 19 June by Lemon Jazz Records. Check out the first singles now!

Think smoky jazz clubs, bohemian poetry, and deep funk grooves colliding on the same late-night dancefloor, where Angelina’s voice cuts through the haze – intense, remarkable, roaring with mighty emotion. The chemistry between groove and voice feels like pure alchemy.

The partnership began in the summer of 2025 when producer Mats Samuelsson (aka Glam Sam And His Combo) discovered Angelina’s voice on the track “Golden Day” from the Monks Road Social project’s debut album “Down The Willows”, which featured artists like Mick Talbot (The Style Council) and Dr. Robert (The Blow Monkeys).
“Her voice just knocked me over,” says Mats. “It’s so cool and unique. I had to work with her.”

What started as a simple exchange of musical ideas quickly evolved into a full creative partnership. Glam Sam initially sent a few instrumental tracks to see if Angelina connected with them lyrically and vocally. Within a handful of emails, the pair had their first songs together. They had a creative meeting in London and soon an album was born.

The result is “Talkin’ In Colour”, a record that moves effortlessly between funk-driven dance grooves, dreamy Jazz soundscapes, smoky soul, and storytelling folk-blues. The duo’s contrasting backgrounds – Glam Sam’s groove-rich productions and Angelina’s raw, poetic songwriting and her spellbinding voice – create a sound that is both intimate and expansive.

Tracks like “Fingertips” showcase this dynamic. This hypnotic and atmospheric piece became a deeply personal tribute to Angelina’s late father, artist Johnny Grimshaw, known as the “Oil Paint Poet”. Blending spoken word, sultry grooves, and psychedelic guitar energy, the track invites listeners into the immersive world of art and memory, where sound, colour, and emotion intertwine.

Another anthem is “I Talk In Colour”, which dips into groove-heavy jazz, funk, and soul, layered with poetic storytelling and vintage bohemian atmosphere. Inspired by the dizzy intensity of new love, the song unfolds like a late-night film scene in a smoky 1970s attic apartment. Two versions appear on the album – the cinematic “Brixton Jazz Edit” and the freer, dancefloor-ready “Disco Jazz Explosion”.

And a track like the beautiful “Runaway Trains” has already earned airplay on Jazz FM, Solar Radio and other tastemaker stations across the UK.

“It’s about breaking free from a rut, taking a chance, and believing in something better,” says Angelina. “Let’s be runaway trains and get out of here!”

About the artwork:

The album artwork features a stunning oil painting by Johnny Grimshaw, Angelina’s father, adding a personal touch to the project. The painting reflects the emotive themes explored in the music – raw, intimate and beautifully crafted. Talkin’ In Colour, for sure.
