Angela Via - The Collection [2009]

Ok some of might be asking yourselves who is that lady in my banner on the right, Weeeeeell... She is non-other than Latin R&B singer Angela Via, let me tell you a little about her music.

She released a single called "Picture Perfect" back in 1999 where the love interest in the music video was non-other than a young and slim Smallville Star Tom Welling. Via performed the song live at The Rosie O'Donnell Show also having a short interview with her. Anyways, her label Atlantic Records/Lava dropped her because they asked her to do a bit too much on her then planned music video for "Girl Playa #1" which was gonna feature Lance Bass & Joey Fatone.

Angela declined on the Label's sugestions for the music video saying that it was demoralizing for her image. After that Angela continued to hunt for a new record label along with long time friend and producer Sundafu.

After years of searching, in 2006 Via snached a record label with Virgin Records signing her, with only time to release a Heater Track titled "Speakin' Spanish" an up-tempo Dance R&B with a hint of Latin and Reggaeton song that was gonna rise her to fame. Until the album was done, Via opened concerts for label-buddies such as Mexican Band RBD, which was making a crossover to the U.S. at that moment with their song "Tu Amor" which had both English and Spanish vocals.

Angela released another song titled "Baila Baila (Don't Let This Party End)", a very uptempo Dance-Pop/Latin song, but with no music video or promotion the single flopped in the charts.
Later in 2007 Virgin and Capitol Records merged to create Capitol Music Group, dropping in its way important artists such as Janet Jackson, Stacie Orrico and of course Angela Via.

In 2008 The TV Show So You Think You Can Dance? featured her song "Baila Baila" as a Samba for dancers Katee & Joshua to perform, giving them a good score, the song was later repeated by Judge Mary Murphy and Dmitry Chaplin from Season 2.

As of 2009, Via is still writing tracks for artists, her most recent is "Bombshell Panties" that was supposedly meant for the pop-quintet The Pussycat Dolls' second album "Doll Domination" but it didn't make the cut.
