***Angel Face*** is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Stephen Sanchez.

It officially released on 22 September 2023 by Mercury Records and Republic Records. It consists of 13 tracks and spawned 4 singles. It was praised for its concept and "nostalgic" 1950/60s sound.

It was promoted through an exclusive one night only show called *Angel Face: The Live Visual Album*, and by the tours "Stephen Sanchez And His Band Live" (2023) and "Live In Person" (2023-24); he also toured Oceania and South East Asia outside of these tours.

## Background

Sanchez explained that his album means "so much" to him, saying that he "wrote it because the world was lacking confession, and love, and deep romance, which is what this record it about". Furthermore, he revealed that he used a "15 minute rule" when writing the songs because "[he] wants the song to feel real, and coming from a place that is honest". Moreover, Sanchez said that the album actually came about quite easily.

The album's main theme is love and how "sweet" and "mushy" it is, whilst sonically pulling motifs from classic 50s love songs and counterculture 60s love songs; its other main themes are death and heartache, but also hope. The album is conceptual, saying "[I] wrote this story to satisfy this excitement over music, because I am such a fan of music; but now it is everyone else's, people are going to create whatever they want with these songs"; most of the album is dialogue in the form of songs between the characters in the world of the album.

On 21 June 2023, Sanchez sneakily revealed the name of the record in a video interview for the first time, *Angel Face*. The album was officially announced on 1 August 2023, with a release date of 22 September 2023.

Stephen says, "When you hear *Angel Face*, I want you to enter a different world and different time. I hope it inspires you to enjoy your time with the one you love. I hope it evokes a response, and you decide to tell this person, ‘I love you’. Love isn't all flowers and daisies; it can be devastating and full of dirt. You have to get a shovel and dig up the dirt first before you grow the flowers. It's okay to need and want somebody. The purpose of life is to find somebody to live with, create memories, and share them. When you hear this record, I hope you think of whoever this person is for you—or you dream of who this person could be if you're not in love already"*.*

### Album Storyline

*For the more detailed full article, please view: The Story of Angel Face*.

*Angel Face* chronicles the life and times of the fictional Stephen Sanchez persona *“The Troubadour Sanchez”*—who finds fame based on his 1958 hit "Until I Found You" only for his world to flip upside down upon meeting his love *"Evangeline"* in 1964. The idea of creating a universe populated with different characters within his music started with "Evangeline", as Sanchez explained "It's opened a world and lore I'm excited to invite fans into".

Sanchez described the album story as "a triangle between three characters [...] There’s a lot of mystery and lore and romance and heartache. It’s full of all the things that make up every single day if you decide you want to be in love with somebody. It’s that never-ending story. I’m really excited about it". Moreover, he has said that "[t]his story and these songs are so near and dear to my heart. It is the very best of myself, my entire soul in musical form".

Sanchez decided to write about fictional characters because "It's exciting for me because I like feeling like I'm on the outside of it so I can be excited about it too [...] It *is* me (as a character) but it's not *me*, you know? Like, I can separate the two and talk about this [album] as that". He continued "Telling stories that aren't entirely my own I think is a lot more fun, then I'm not having to relive like a devastating moment over and over and over again". He was inspired by "No One Knows" co-writer and producer Ben Schnieder's stories and characters in his songs, "his influence is one of the reasons this record ends in tragedy".

#### Song Chronology

Based on the story of *Angel Face*, the album songs can be put into this chronological order:
1958: "Something About Her", "I Need You Most Of All", "Until I Found You", "Shake", "No One Knows", "Caught In A Blue".
1964: "Only Girl", "High", "Evangeline", "Be More", "Doesn't Do Me Any Good", "Death Of The Troubadour", "Send My Heart With A Kiss".
1964 (Alternative Order): "Evangeline", "Only Girl", "High", "Doesn't Do Me Any Good", "Be More", "Death Of The Troubadour", "Send My Heart With A Kiss".

#### Characters

 1964

#### 1958

Songs which follow the characters *Stephen Sanchez & The Moon Crests* and *Georgia*. These songs, such as "Until I Found You", are inspired by a 1950s sound. Here, the story told through the songs is about how *Stephen* first fell into love with *Georgia* in 1958.

* 1958 songs: "Caught In A Blue", "I Need You Most Of All", "No One Knows", "Shake", "Something About Her", "Until I Found You".

Here, the story told through the songs is the creation of a continuing love affair in 1964, as both *The Troubadour Sanchez* and *Hunter* are in love with *Evangeline*; such as the lyrics in "Only Girl" acting as a dialogue for both men towards her.

* 1964 songs: "Be More", "Death Of The Troubadour", "Doesn't Do Me Any Good", "Evangeline", "High", "Only Girl", "Send My Heart With A Kiss".

## Production

Writing and production began in mid-2022 and lasted until early 2023, except "Until I Found You" which was made in 2021. During this time, *Easy On My Eyes EP* and the single "Missing You" were released.

*Angel Face* relies on the soft, slower, band-like sound of the 1950s, and the faster, edgier, rockier sound of the 1960s for its songs. These motifs of their respective eras regarding love songs are carried into the lyricism for its songs too, as the classic 50s-inspired songs are more lovey and cooey, almost ballad-like; whilst the 60s-inspired songs are more about the sultry counterculture storytelling of love.

Such as in the 1950-60s, songs were tried to be: recorded in full takes, instruments recorded all in one room together to feel "organic and live", and background vocals were recorded by huddling around one microphone.

## Reception

Gino Miguel of *UMusic New Zealand* writes "While *Angel Face* takes us for a ride with the love story between *The Troubadour* and *Evangeline*, Sanchez was able to create retro tracks that stand on their own, and with a mix of modern elements, create an album that speaks the language of music's timelessness. With his very first album, Stephen Sanchez paves a passionate path for his musicality, and it's exciting to see what next projects are in store".

Mike Wass of *Flood Magazine* opines "[L]ove in all its guises—pure, self-destructive, or doomed—is the common thread that runs through *Angel Face*. Which succeeds both as a pulpy, blood-spattered narrative and as a deeply romantic record to spin with someone you may or may not be willing to take a bullet for".

*Happy Magazine* opines that "[*Angel Face*'s] songs feel nostalgic in a way that makes you feel like you grew up listening to them on a scratched record at your grandparents' house". This was echoed by *Reuters*, saying "[*Angel Face* is] inspired by nostalgia". *uDiscoverMusic* go as far as to say it is "genre-defining".

## Promotion

*For the full articles, please view: Stephen Sanchez And His Band Live and Live In Person*.

In January 2023, several teaser videos were posted of Sanchez and the character of *Evangeline* (Frances O'Sullivan) over "Evangeline" and "Send My Heart With A Kiss" instrumentals, with subtitled dialogue detailing their love story. These videos and the album photoshoot were shot at The Dive Motel & Swim Club and The Belcourt Theatre, both in Nashville, Tennessee; which played a major role in the visual vintage aesthetics for this era. Alongside adding "Welcome to 1964!" to all social bios.

*Angel Face* was promoted through Sanchez's headlining North American "Stephen Sanchez And His Band Live" tour in early 2023 to promote "Evangeline" and upcoming songs, and then again in late 2023 for the also North American and early 2024 European "Live In Person" tour to promote the album; these tours are nicknamed the "spring tour" and the "fall tour", respectively. He also toured Europe, Oceania, and South East Asia outside of these tours throughout the year.

Moreover, a promotional mural of Sanchez, painted by Overall Murals, was officially commissioned between Amazon Music and Mercury/Republic Records, and was unveiled on 8 May 2023 at Wythe Ave & N 12th St. Williamsburg in Brooklyn, New York City.

On the day of the album's announcement, an online "The Troubadour Post" newspaper article was discovered in which Sanchez details the story of the album, alongside a comic strip promoting the upcoming single "Be More".

Exclusive pre-release album listening sessions with Q&A were held in Sydney, Australia, on 24 August 2023; and London, UK, on 7 September 2023.

The album released in 13-track standard edition, with a deluxe version at a later date.

On 3 November 2023, the second Los Angeles, CA, show at The Wiltern was livestream on Amazon Music's Twitch channel.

## Deluxe EP

On 25 July 2023, ahead of the album's official announcement, an upcoming deluxe version was first mentioned. In December, Sanchez elaborated further, saying "I think as far as new songs go, I've been playing with the idea of making an EP with that [modern rock] sound and having it kind of a little "DLC", if you will, of this album, and making it like, *Evangeline* goes crazy and hunts down *Hunter* to kill him for killing her lover [(*The Troubadour Sanchez*)], that kind of thing. But who knows? I'm just enjoying writing stories, so maybe it'll be fun with new sounds all over again!". This would be an extension to The Story of Angel Face, the album's storyline interwoven in every song this era; specifically that of the unreleased song "Howlin' At Wolves".

He continued, explaining "I think with this little tiny EP, I would like to release this literally an extended play of this record. I already have a title for it and everything, and I know what I wanna do with these characters. It's more about the music, even exploring a bit of new sound, because I want *Angel Face* to stand on its own and be special for what it is. I think if there's an extension to that, I think it needs to be something that has a little bit more of a different feel with elements of that flavor, because I will always love that sound and I'll always implement flavorings of that into my music from here on out. But almost like Arctic Monkeys' "Piledriver Waltz" or *Suck It And See* album vibe or something like that, where there's trinkles of the '60s. Yeah, I’m not sure just yet, but I'm really looking forward to exploring that. I think [its story will] definitely come written before [the songs], which would be exciting to try".

Confirmed unreleased songs for the possible *Angel Face (Deluxe EP)* include: "Emotional Vacation", "Fame Or Fortune", and "Howlin' At Wolves". A list of other unreleased songs this era can be found here.

## Trivia

* *Angel Face* follows different stories of love told through the lens of two different personas of Sanchez between two distinct eras of music.
	+ 1958: Songs told by *Stephen Sanchez & The Moon Crests* and the character of *Georgia*.
	+ 1964: Songs told by *Troubadour Sanchez* and the characters of *Evangeline* and *Hunter*.

* The name of the album, *Angel Face*, comes from the lore behind the album. When the character *The Troubadour Sanchez* is dying he says "Don't cry new angel face, send my heart with a kiss" to his love *Evangeline*.
	+ Which in turn was inspired by the song that sparked the whole album concept, "Evangeline".
	+ Sharing its title with a classic 1953 American noir film.
	+ The non-album single "Missing You (with Ashe)" contains a similarly worded lyric "I think you're an angel with the face of my children".

* The Story of Angel Face details the full lore behind the album and its songs.
	+ The album story is similar to the lyrics of Barry Manilow's 1978 international hit "Copacabana".
	+ Originally, the album story was meant to end with *The Troubadour Sanchez* and *Evangeline* running off into the sunset together, happily in love. Once Sanchez got in the studio with collaborator Ben Schneider, he started feeling like its finale was "lame".
		- He recalls Schneider telling him, "Devastation is what makes love worth it. It makes the story true. This doesn't sound true". So, they decided the album's narrative should conclude with *The Troubadour* getting murdered by *Hunter* with a shot to the chest.
* The album's main themes are: love, hope, death, and heartache.

* "Be More" was the first song written for *Angel Face*, setting the stage for the rest on the songs. In contrast, "High" was the final song written and recorded.

* "High" was supposed to be the fourth official single; however, it was superseded by "Be More" due to overwhelming fan reception of its teaser snippet, with one receiving over 6 million views in just as many days.
	+ Ultimately, "High" remained as an album track.

* "Something About Her", though canonically set in 1958, is the only *Angel Face* song not about any of the main characters. Instead, it was written about Sanchez's current girlfriend.
	+ As is the unreleased track "Fame Or Fortune".

* "Only Girl" and "Shake" are rated "E" for "Explicit" on *Amazon Music*, but not on *Apple Music* nor *Spotify*.

* In early 2023, Sanchez originally mentioned that the album consisted of 12 tracks. However, months later whilst performing at The Metro in Sydney, Australia on 6 June 2023, he revealed the album was made up of 13 tracks.
	+ The newly added song was "High" as it was recorded in 2023, in contrast to the rest of the album recorded in 2022; except "Until I Found You" which was made in 2021, and "No One Knows" which was made earlier in 2023.
	+ On 25 July 2023, a deluxe version was first mentioned, before the album's official announcement.
		- In December 2023, Sanchez mentioned it is an accompanying EP.
* After "Be More", the possibility of having two more singles before the album released was mentioned. However, this did not come to fruition, though visualiser/lyric videos for the remaining 9 album tracks were posted on release day.

* The album photoshoot took place on 17-19 January 2023, all photographs taken by Luke Rogers at The Dive Motel & Swim Club and The Belcourt Theatre, both in Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
	+ With additional and "Behind The Scenes" photographs taken by Penny Kapa and Connor Petersen.
	+ The album cover was designed by Wyatt Knowles, whom also designed both tour posters, and this era's merch.

* All singles released belong to the 1964 half of the album; with exception of "Until I Found You" which belongs to 1958.

* The day before the album released, Sanchez created *Spotify* playlists for the characters of: *The Troubadour Sanchez*, *Evangeline*, and *Hunter*.

* His favourite lyric off the album is "Love's a dog and it's tail I'm chasing / I'm pulling down the moon for us" from "Only Girl".

* The song Sanchez is most excited for his fans to hear is "No One Knows", and is most excited to play "Shake" live.

* Curiously, all three bodies of work Sanchez has released to date contain a song which begins with the word "until".
	+ These are: "Until We Meet Again" from *What Was, Not Now EP*; and "Until I Found You" from *Easy On My Eyes EP* and *Angel Face*.
