Better Angels is an 11 track work, 10 of which are original compositions: (lyrics) by Erica Papillion-Posey and (music) by Erica Papillion-Posey & pianist, Solomon J. Chapman.

“Better Angels”, words first uttered by former president, Abraham Lincoln, during his 1861 inaugural address and more recently echoed by former president, Barak Obama during his 2009 inaugural address and his 2018 speech upon returning to the political scene. The term and narrators call on us to dwell in the spirit of our best, higher selves, from a space of cellular purity, when casting decisions and or judgements for ourselves and our fellow man. Simply, this IS the call and sentiment of the record, in and through the lyrics, the musical structures, instrumentation and production. My hope…that you vibrate, resonate and think high(er). ~epp
