Angie Brown was tapped to perform her breakout hit I’m Gonna Get You after a talent agent heard her performing in a club. 

The house diva rocketed into the charts in 1992 with her Bizarre Inc collaboration, which features lyrics from the Jocelyn Brown song Love’s Gonna Get You and a sample from Brass Disk by Dupree.

Speaking in Retro Pop’s August 2022 issue, Angie reveals how she lucked out and landed her big break. 

“I got a phone call from an agent, because she heard me singing live at this club in London where we went every Monday night,” she says. “She heard me singing Respect in the Aretha Franklin key, with all the ballsy, chest voice behind it.

“When she got in touch, she said, ‘There’s three guys who are called Bizarre Inc. They’ve got a deal and they want a singer. 

“It’s going to be easier and less expensive for them to get a British singer who can actually cover that sound – those notes – and emulate Jocelyn’s voice to a tee’.”

In the years that followed, Angie scored hits with another Bizarre Inc collaboration, Took My Love, and Rockin’ For Myself with Motiv8, but she remained an independent artist. 

“It wasn’t my record deal. It was Bizarre Inc’s,” she insists. “It was the three guys with their Amstrad stereo mixes that got the record deal, but they wanted to come from the underground and have the commercial hit.

“It’s a case of ‘right place, right time,’ and being as professional as you can to get the job done. And I feel like it’s taken me 30 years to get to this point with no record deal,” she adds. “Because I’m a freelance singer, that’s what I do.”
