Angel is officially back, and he’s coming with intention. The West London R&B talent just released a fresh RNG Session titled “How Cud U?”, showcasing the timeless vocal quality and heartfelt writing that made his name ring in the first place. Smooth, soulful, and stripped back.
This follows his recent cover of Kehlani’s “Folded,” which has fans talking on social media. The rendition was raw and emotional, reminding everyone of the depth in Angel’s voice and how naturally he can reinterpret a record while still making it feel like his own. For many listeners, that cover felt like the soft launch of something bigger.
And the timing makes sense. After keeping things low for a while, Angel has been locked in the studio working on new music — with talk of a new project on the way. Those close to the process say he’s creating with clarity and purpose, aiming to bring back the same energy that defined classics like About Time but with new maturity and perspective.
Angel came up at a pivotal moment for UK R&B — before playlists, before the scene had the structure it has now — and he helped set the tone. From “Wonderful” to collaborations with the likes of Giggs, Stefflon Don, Davido, and Swizz Beatz, his influence in shaping the sound has always been greater than what meets the eye. Even when quiet publicly, his pen has still been active behind the scenes.
This new RNG Session feels like a message: Angel hasn’t just returned, he’s re-centered. Confident, focused, and ready to speak to the moment.
With the Kehlani cover already gaining attention and more drops hinted at, one thing is clear — Angel season is loading, and UK R&B needed this.
