Angel Chasez

Angel Chasez was an all-girl pop group that came together in the late 1990s. Their debut single "Because I'm a Girl" became an anthem that connected with listeners, establishing them with a sound that felt both current and personal at the time.

The group included Adrienne Bailon, Kiely Williams, Naturi Naughton, Shamari DeVoe, and Chilli. Their music, like the track "Paixão," often explored themes of female experience and relationships. They faced some criticism for lyrics that were considered too suggestive for their younger audience, but they generally stuck to their approach.

Internal disagreements over creative direction eventually led to members leaving, including Naturi Naughton. The group's catalog includes songs like "Porque Sou Uma Garota" and "Wet Kiss," which captured a particular moment in pop music.
