The Magic of Opolopo & Angela Johnson
The original Best Of Both Worlds LP was released in October 2024, and immediately showcased the dazzling synergy between Sweden’s funk-driven producer Opolopo and New York’s soul powerhouse Angela Johnson. Drawing on influences like Quincy Jones, The Isley Brothers, and Ohio Players, the album delivered a vibrant blend of classic soul, modern house, and groove-rich funk.
In these DJ-focused reworks, Opolopo flexes his production finesse with floor-ready edits that amplify the album’s energy. “Show Up, Show Out” is a true highlight – soaring horns, warm chords, and Johnson’s gospel-inflected vocals fill the room with joy. “Possibilities” gets stretched into a cosmic groove ride with tight live drums, synth flares, and infectious guitar licks. And “Outro” transforms into a peak-time funk jam with all the bounce and brightness needed to lift spirits high.
Behind The Groove
“Angie and I didn’t have any agenda when making this record other than just living in the feeling. Her vocals add so much soul and feel-good energy to the tracks. They pull everything together and take you on a journey.”
says Opolopo
“We didn’t want to make anything obvious. This album connects with real themes and emotions. Peter’s musical ideas pushed me in new directions—from uptempo soul to gospel-infused energy. We’re from different musical worlds but meet perfectly in the middle.”
Johnson adds
