ANGEL ITO SHARES MORE.

♪ [ MUSIC ] ♪ ♪ [ MUSIC ] ♪ >> I BEGGED YOU ♪ >> I'M VERY -- INTERGALACTICAL.

ALL THE THINGS THAT CAN'T REALLY BE DEFINED.

>> WHILE THE SOUND CAN'T NECESSARILY BE DEFINED, THE INTENTION IS ALWAYS CLEAR.

SOUND.

>> I THINK THE MUSIC WE CONSUME DEFINITELY CHANGES OUR DNA.

IT ALSO TRIGGERS DIFFERENT THINGS WITHIN OUR BRAINS SO I'M IN A PLACE WHERE I AM TRYING TO MAKE MUSIC THAT IS EXPANSIVE, THAT IS ROOTED IN LIBERATION.

>> MUSIC IS ENERGY WORKS.

SO WHAT WE CONSUME IS ULTIMATELY WHAT WE -- YOU KNOW, WHAT COMES OUT OF OUR PORES.

WHAT COMES OUT AGAIN.

WHEN YOU ARE DRINKING WATER, YOU SWEAT REAL GOOD.

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE DETOXIFYING.

AND I WANT TO BE TOXIFIED.

♪ [ MUSIC ] ♪ ♪ EVERYTHING IS BACK INSIDE ♪ >> THE WAY THAT I SORT OF SEE THE WORLD IS THROUGH THE LENS OF COMMUNITY.

AND I FEEL LIKE WHEN I PERFORM -- OR IF I'M ON STAGE, OR IF I'M HAVING A CONVERSATION, THAT'S JUST ME EXPANDING MY COMMUNITY.

MUSIC IS, LIKE -- COMMUNITY IS SUCH AN INTEGRAL PART OF MUSIC.

>> NOW THAT, COMMUNITY HELPED HER CULTIVATE HER FIRST STUDIO ALBUM.

MOODY UMBRA.

>> THERE'S A SONG THERE FOR EVERYBODY.

LIKE THERE'S A SONG FOR EVERY, LIKE OCCASION.

IT'S LIKE, DO YOU WANT TO TURN UP?

DO YOU WANT TO LAY DOWN?

DO YOU WANT TO TURN DOWN, MEDICATE?

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

I FEEL LIKE THAT RANGE OF TIME I WAS ABLE TO DELIVER LIKE SOMETHING SO VAST AND NOT HAVE THIS LIKE OVERLY COHESIVE PROJECT.

I THINK IT'S COHESIVE, BUT EVERY SONG DOESN'T SOUND THE SAME.

BUT THEY ARE IN THE SAME WORLD.

>> CELEBRATING THE RECORD RELEASE WITH A LIVE CONCERT, WHICH INCLUDES A COMMUNITY JAM SESSION, FEATURING A RANGE OF ARTISTS, WHO HAVE BECOME HER COMMUNITY THROUGH THE YEARS.

>> SO IT WILL BE LIKE A REALLY BIG -- JUST LIKE CHICAGO MUSIC MOMENT.

MUCH BEYOND, YOU KNOW, JUST THE MOODY UM BER RELEASE SHOW.

BUT REALLY OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO JUST ALL GET FREE TOGETHER.

I'M REALLY PROUD OF WHERE I COME FROM.

I'M JUST EXCITED AND THANKFUL BE TO ABLE TO SHARE A GIFT WITH PEOPLE.

THERE'S NOTHING MORE I WANT TO DO.
