Destiny (No Angels album)
2007 studio album by No Angels
Destiny is the fourth regular studio album by all-female German pop group No Angels, released by Polydor Records and Universal Music Domestic on 13 April 2007 across German-speaking Europe. Conceived as a comeback project, the album marked the group's return following a hiatus announced in fall 2003, during which the members pursued individual solo careers. Production on Destiny was led primarily by the duo Twin, with additional contributions from Jiant, Arnthor Birgisson, Michel Zitron, Vincent Pontare, Max Martin, Adrian Newman, and Thorsten Brötzmann, among others. It is also the first album recorded by the group's third lineup, following original member Vanessa Petruo's decision not to return to the band.
Recorded over a comparatively brief period at Sound Studio N in Cologne, Destiny comprises a mixture of uptempo tracks and ballads that continue the stylistic direction established on the group's earlier albums, Now... Us! (2002) and Pure (2003). Musically, the album is rooted in pop, incorporating elements of pop rock alongside contemporary R&B and dance influences. Its lyrics explore themes such as friendship, committed relationships, and emotional challenges within romantic partnerships. Upon release, Destiny received generally mixed to negative reviews from critics, who frequently commended the group's vocal performances but criticized the material as formulaic and reliant on familiar pop conventions.
