Angelique Sabrina On Rihanna Comparisons, ‘Pull Up’ & Her Sound
Angelique Sabrina sat down with Hollywire recently, discuss her single ‘Pull Up’, her upcoming debut album, being compared to Rihanna, how the music industry has treated her, what she hopes listeners will get from her music and more.
“I’m very honored by that. Rihanna is amazing,” Angelique said about comparisons to the ‘Umbrella’ singer.
As for how the industry has been for the 14-year-old, she said, “Amazing so far. I am so young and everybody seems to be embracing my music so well, and that sort of surprised me, but I don’t think there’s really anybody my age right now in the game. So the fact that people are excited about my project makes me excited.”
On her R&B, pop and Caribbean sound, she remarked, “It’s not very hard on the ears. It’s very easy to listen to and sing along with and very catchy.”
Talking about her single ‘Pull Up’, Angelique said, “That’s a song that my dad actually first started off on. I was at school one day and he had probably been in the studio all day, and when I got home, he had this little thing he was working on that he wanted me to try out, so we got in the studio and I sang, and we left it alone for awhile, but after coming back at it and fixing it and perfecting it, we came up with the concept of the dance, the ‘Pull Up’, that’s when I got with the choreographer in the Bahamas and we came up with the whole routine together.”
Asked what she hopes fans will bring from her music, Angelique said, “I am kind of young, and I hope that people my age can look at what I’m doing and feel inspired to do whatever they want to do. Whether you want to be a chef or whatever you want to be. You don’t have to be an artist to be inspired by one. I hope that it can inspire people.”
