Angelyne (album)

Angelyne is the debut studio album by American billboard model and singer Angelyne, released in 1982 on independent label Zenith Records. The album showcases a new wave and rock-influenced sound. It is notable for being distributed primarily through sales at local Los Angeles venues and businesses frequented by Angelyne, rather than through traditional record store channels. The album received very limited critical attention upon its release but has since gained a cult following, particularly among fans of outsider music and Los Angeles pop culture. It is considered a key part of Angelyne's self-created persona and contributes to the ongoing mystique surrounding the artist. The album's songs feature themes of love, fantasy, and self-empowerment. Despite its relative obscurity at the time, the album contributed to Angelyne's early fame and established her as a unique figure in the Los Angeles entertainment landscape.
