Angelica Mode is the new project of songwriter Brian Hughes, formed from the ashes of previous band, Screamin’ Whisper in early 2020. Hughes takes this opportunity to take his writing in a new direction and produce work unlike that of his previous ventures. Having moved from Ireland to Scotland in 2013, Brian has spent the 7 years since honing his craft both in the studio and live, including opening for The Amazons along the way. Brian has already found support from Amazing Radio’s Jim Gellatly for Angelica Mode and has been featured on BBC Radio Scotland for his song writing. Since releasing debut single “Your Love Is All The Rage”, and receiving a place on the inaugural Ivor Novello Academy Mentorship this year, and has received national press coverage, with the Scottish Sun offering valuable support in their New Music column with a half page write up and the Scotsman “Under The Radar” column noting, “It (Your Love Is All The Rage), establishes Angelica Mode as an act to watch in 2021”. Clearly Angelica Mode is one to watch for the future, with Spotlight Music noting him as one of their “Top 45 Upstarts for 2021”. Having caught the attention of L.A based record label Sound X3, he has an E.P planned for 2021 and recently made the Semi Finals of the International Songwriting Competition with his song “Don’t Make Me Wait”.
