2022 recap
2022 is the year Angelina turned 16. This year she had her first public concert performances after an almost three year long break caused by the COVID pandemic.
Recap
Recording
At some point in 2022, Angelina and songwriter Toby Gad got to work together, and reportedly recorded several songs together, including "Bad Valentine" 🞂 ↗[1].
Likely also most songs from the Old Enough EP were recorded this year, or even earlier.
As we know from examples like her collaboration with Stargate and with Toby Gad that only a fraction of songs written and recorded get published, it can be assumed that she recorded many more songs which not have surfaced yet (and likely most never will).
Summer concerts
After a pandemic induced break of almost 3 years, she again performed live in public this year. She performed twice in Sandjeford, Norway, on July 1st and July 10th.
Between that, on the 7th, she also performed at the Kongsberg Jazz Festival.
On all the occasions she performed with the same small jazz band as in 2018, except for again a different drummer, and the setlists had big overlaps. Besides her latest two original songs, she added "Bad Romance" 🞂 ↗, "Mercy" & "Killing Me Softly with His Song & "I'm Not the Only One" (three in one clip 🞂 ↗), "Love on the Brain" 🞂 ↗, "Mount Everest" 🞂 ↗, "Tears Dry on Their Own" 🞂 ↗, "The House of the Rising Sun" 🞂 ↗, "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" 🞂 ↗, "Suspicious Minds" 🞂 ↗, and "You Don't Own Me" 🞂 ↗ to her live repertoire.
TV appearances
In late June she had performed "Bohemian Rhapsody" 🞂 ↗ and "I Have Nothing" 🞂 ↗ at Allsang på Grensen.
In early August, the NRK TV show Festivalsommer aired an interview and the performances of her two original songs, "Million Miles" 🞂 ↗ and "7th Heaven" 🞂 ↗, from the earlier Kongsberg Jazz Festival concert.
Unforgetable Gala
In December Angelina performed at the 20th Unforgetable Gala, a celebration of the Asian community, performing "Bohemian Rhapsody" 🞂 ↗ and "I Have Nothing" 🞂 ↗. These were both different from earlier performances, possibly because she was apparently having a cold: in "Bohemian Rhapsody" she replaced the central belt with a head-voice run (and continued to to so in the following years), and she cut "I Have Nothing" short (which she did not repeat later).
