2021 recap
2021 is the year Angelina turned 15. This year she resumed for the first time since signing with Republic Records uploading cover videos on her YouTube Angelina Jordan CoverChannel, and she started to post on TikTok.
Recap
No concerts & TV appearances
At least partially due to the COVID-19+ pandemic, there were no public concerts and no TV appearances this year.
Recording
Besides the already mentioned release of the music video for "Million Miles" in late January, her second single with Republic Records, the song "7th Heaven" (which was also co-written with Stargate) got released in March. Similar to "Million Milles", it was first shortly followed by a lyrics video 🞂 ↗, then augmented by an "Official Studio Performance 🞂 ↗, and later in July also a music video 🞂 ↗ was released.
She might have recorded her cover of "Mercy" 🞂 ↗ this year (or the year before), which was used in the The Hating Game movie soundtrack that premiered later the year.
Likely she had a lot more of unknown recording related background activities this year. Glimpses of that could be seen on her social media, e.g. like an Instagram post↗ from November where she was meeting Jimmy Z in the studio.
Other activities
Cover channel
Angelina reactived her Angelina Jordan CoverChannel in early spring, after an 18 months break, starting with Adele's "All I Ask" 🞂 ↗. She uploaded several cover songs with videos of professional production quality over the course of six months, but then finally quit uploaded to it in October. These include a jazzy version of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" 🞂 ↗, and a cover of Adele's "Easy on Me" 🞂 ↗, which she pubished only 11 days after the original song was released. This was the last video she published on this channel – later covers were uploaded to her Angelina Jordan Official channnel.
Virtual Royal Visit
In one of those uploads we get to see her contribution of "Heal the World" 🞂 ↗ to the first Virtual Royal Visit from Norway to California by Prince Haakon of Norway, which took place in late April.
Republic Records "Switch Hit"
A cover of "When You Believe" 🞂 ↗ was uploaded to Republic Records' YouTube channel, with an akward intro which we try to skip... Though this might have been planned as series featuring also other artists by Republic, there were no other songs released in this format.
New TikTok account
In late spring she started to post on TikTok.
The Hating Game movie soundtrack
In December the movie The Hating Game and its soundtrack premiered, where her recording of "Mercy" was used in the opening scene 🞂 ↗.
Online Christmas Show
In December, just before Christmas, she had an Online Christmas Show from the Republic Records studio, performing in total seven songs joinded by renown musicians, including Jimmy Z. Here she premiered "Jingle Bell Rock" 🞂 ↗ and "You Say" 🞂 ↗ (though the latter one to a backing track). Recordings of four of the song performances were later used on her 2023 Christmas EP.
