Recap
Social media activities early in the year
On 2016-01-24, Angelina celebrated reaching 100k subscribers on Facebook with a livestream, where she performed "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye" 🞂 ↗. And three weeks later, on 2016-02-14 Valentine's day, she had an Instagram live, singing "My Funny Valentine" 🞂 ↗. At the time, her earlier performances from the 2015 live events had not yet been uploaded to YouTube yet, so these were basically the Internet premieres of these two titles.
Angelina Jordan – The EP activities
On 2016-04-22, she recorded with musician's from KORK (NRK's radio orchestra) a cover of "Back to Black" 🞂 ↗, though with her own, improvised lyrics. The performance was broadcast and uploaded to her YouTube channel the next day. Which makes the song the last title she recorded for her later EP, and the first which was published.
She released two more covers from the upcoming EP that year: "I Put a Spell on You" as a music video 🞂 ↗ in late September, and "What a Diff'rence a Day Made" as a lyrics video 🞂 ↗ in December, just before Christmas.
International travel
