Visually Mesmerising Animation by Sam Chegini
Directed by award-winning Iranian filmmaker Sam Chegini, the video is a visual masterpiece. With abstract imagery and symbolic storytelling, the animation perfectly captures the song’s ethereal and introspective tone. It's their fifth collaboration—and arguably their most emotionally striking to date.

A Dream Team of Acclaimed Musicians
With production by Henry (King Thumb) Thomas—who has worked with legends like Paul Weller and Randy Crawford—and contributions from Martyn Barker, Tony Qunta, and Anders Olinder, the track delivers a sonically rich experience that blends classical finesse with modern sensitivity.
For Fans of Ethereal, Emotionally Driven Music
If you’re a fan of Kate Bush, Tori Amos, or even Florence + The Machine, Marsha Swanson will feel like a kindred spirit. Her ability to marry introspective storytelling with cinematic sound makes “Like an Angel” a must-listen for lovers of artful, evocative music.
