Editor's note

Angela McCluskey's voice in trip hop and dance

A distinctive singer who moved from Wild Colonials to solo work and electronic collaborations.

For her early sound, check Wild Colonials. For the dance floor, 'You Could Be Happy' still holds up.

Her voice first caught attention with the British trip hop band Wild Colonials in the early 1990s. She became recognizable through dance hits like 'You Could Be Happy' with Paul Oakenfold and 'Breathe' with Telepopmusik. That track 'Love Can Damage Your Health' with Télépopmusik shows her staying power in electronic circles.

She started as a vocalist for Wild Colonials before her 1999 collaboration with Paul Oakenfold broke through. Solo albums like 'The Things We Do' and 'The World Outside' found her moving between pop, jazz, and electronic sounds. She earned an Ivor Novello Award and maintained an outspoken reputation without chasing mainstream fame.

Archive material and source history

Angela McCluskey first appeared as a vocalist for the British trip hop band Wild Colonials in the early 1990s. Her voice had a distinctive quality that caught attention, though she didn't become widely known until later in the decade.

In 1999, she worked with Paul Oakenfold on 'You Could Be Happy,' which became a global dance hit. That track, along with collaborations like 'Breathe' with Telepopmusik and 'The Little Things' with Big Gigantic, established her as a recognizable voice in electronic music circles.

She released her first solo album 'The Things We Do' in 2001, followed by 'The World Outside' in 2005 and 'Eclecticism' in 2010. These records showed her moving between pop, jazz, and electronic sounds without settling into one category.

Her work earned an Ivor Novello Award for contribution to British music, and she developed a reputation for being outspoken in interviews, though she never became a mainstream celebrity.
