Recap
TV appearances
The Best FIFA Awards 2022
In late February Angelina performed "We're the Best" (in FIFA livestream↗) with RedOne at the The Best FIFA Awards 2022 in front of world famous association football stars. Unfortunately, there had been audio issues in the broadcast.
A clip showing her with stars like Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé went viral and gathered many million views, becomming her most sucessful TikTok video as of early 2026.[1]
Germany's Next Top Model
In May she appeared in an episode of Heidi Klum's Germany's Next Top Model TV show. She performed Valerie, Love on the Brain, and One Moment in Time. None of the songs was played in full length, and from the latter only a brief section from the end was used. However, Heidi Klum posted at least the "Valerie" 🞂 ↗ performance in full length on Instagram.
SoFi ads
Starting in October, SoFi used Angelina's original song "Our Time" 🞂 ↗, which was then also released as a digital single, for TV commercials 🞂 ↗.
Nobel Peace Prize event
In December she performed "Unchained Melody" 🞂 ↗ with KORK at the NRK A tribute to Narges Mohammadi TV show for the honor of the Nobel Peace Prize recipiant Narges Mohammadi. As Mohammadi was imprisoned in Iran, her children were instead present. Angelina also performed her original song "Love Don't Let Me Go" with KORK at the event, but that was not aired, but posted by Angelina 🞂 ↗ about a year later.
Recording
In early May her third original song with Republic Records, "Love Don't Let Me Go" 🞂 ↗, was released, together with a simple music video, called a "visualizer".
In June, her six-track Old Enough+ EP was released, containing "Love Don't Let Me Go", and five more new original songs. For the second track on the EP, "Now I'm the Fool" 🞂 ↗, a music video was released, showing her performing the song in the studio. The rest of the songs ("Fire and Rain" 🞂 ↗, "All My Fault" 🞂 ↗, "Good in Goodbyes" 🞂 ↗, and "Diamond" 🞂 ↗, ) received only very simple visualizer videos.
As mentioned above, her original "Our Time" was released as a single in October, without being further promoted.
In early December her five-track digital Christmas EP Driving Home for Christmas was released. It contained a cover of the title giving song 🞂 ↗ by Chris Rea, and four recordings from her 2021 Online Christmas Show ("Let It Snow" 🞂 ↗, "Jingle Bell Rock" 🞂 ↗, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" 🞂 ↗, and "The Christmas Song" 🞂 ↗).
Headlining Concert
In September she had her first big US headling concert in Portsmouth, New Hamshire. Here she performed all six original songs from her new EP for the first time in public (and for some titles apparently the only time), some originals and covers she had done before, and performed for the first time live the George Michael cover "Careless Whisper". As there is no good recording of that performance available, here is a short version recorded at her Republic Records studio 🞂 ↗, which she had posted earlier in June.
Le Bal des Débutantes 2023
In late November she participated as débutante at Le Bal des Débutantes 2023 in Paris, and performed "Can't Help Falling in Love" 🞂 ↗.[2][3]
