Nobody's Angel is an eponymous debut studio album by American girl group Nobody's Angel. It was released on February 1, 2000, through Hollywood Records. Nobody's Angel is a pop album; two singles{{snd}}{{nowrap|If You Wanna Dance}} and "I Just Can't Help Myself"{{snd}}were released to promote the record. The lead single peaked at number 39 on the Dance Club Songs Billboard chart, and the album reached number 184 on the Billboard 200 chart. Reviews were primarily positive; some critics labeled the group a guilty pleasure and a one-hit wonder based on the album.

Background and recording

Nobody's Angel members Amy Sue Harding, Sarah Smith, Stacey Harper, and Ali Navarro first met while sharing their stories about unsuccessful Los Angeles auditions. They agreed to form a girl group due to their shared backgrounds in music and musical theatre.[1] The group's name was decided from a joke on Harper's love of the television drama Charlie's Angels.[1][2] According to Laura Harrell of the Orlando Sentinel, the group members wrote their lyrics and choreographed their dances without assistance.[2] They were one of several new acts signed by Hollywood Records.[3] Prior to their debut album, they appeared on the television sitcom Boy Meets World and the 2000 television film Model Behavior.[1][4] They also recorded a cover of "Let's Get Together" for the 1998 film The Parent Trap, which was a remake of the 1961 original.[5][6] Andrew Logan was the executive producer of the album,[7] which was recorded at A&M Studios and Cardraygee Studios in Hollywood, California.[11] The group completed it in early 1999.[6]

Composition and sound

AllMusic's MacKenzie Wilson said that the album had a "glossy pop sound".[5] Heather Phares of the same publication described the songs as "Disney-generation pop", particularly "If You Wanna Dance".[11] Harrell described the album as composed of "fast, upbeat pop rhythms as well as slow acoustic ballads".[2] MTV News' Jennifer Armstrong characterized the compositions as based on drums and other sounds effects commonly associated with teen pop.[8] Phrase wrote that the tracks, "Keep Me Away" and "I Can't Help Myself", had a "danceable, youthful style".[9] Armstrong described "Sugardaddy" as having "bopping beats", and compared the group's harmonies to those of the Jackson 5. She interpreted the cover of the Sister Sledge 1979 song "We Are Family" (1979) as inspired by the Spice Girls. The rendition includes a rap on friendship, with the chorus changed to: "I got all my angels with me."[8]

Release and promotion

Hollywood Records released Nobody's Angel on audio CD and cassette on February 1, 2000; it was also made available as a digital download.[10] The album was initially scheduled for a spring 1999 release.[6] Its cover features the group members posing in front of a pink background, with expressions that Armstrong called "almost unnaturally happy".[8] The group promoted it by performing as an opening act for AJ McLean and the headliner for the Polaroid i-Zone camera tour.[11]

"If You Wanna Dance" was released as the lead single.[23] Marcus Nispel directed the music video,[23] which featured the group ice skating at an ice rink.[1] The song was remixed by Thunderpuss 2000 for radios and clubs.[12] The single received a positive response from critics.[4][13] Bustle's Kristie Rohwedder referred to it as an "upbeat singalong-friendly pop song",[13] and Abby Devora of MTV News wrote that it "definitely had me shaking what my mama gave me as soon as I heard it".[4] Alternatively, Harrell criticized the single as a bad copy of the Spice Girls.[2] The song peaked at number 39 on the Dance Club Songs Billboard chart on March 11, 2000, and remained on the chart for seven weeks.[14] Devora considered Nobody's Angel a one-hit wonder due to the song's commercial success.[4] "I Can't Help Myself" was released as the album's second single in 2000; it was made available as a promo CD. A Billboard reviewer wrote that the ballad had "the very essence of a hit-worthy, youth-target single", and praised its melody and the group's harmonies.[11]

Reception

Harrell praised the album for its variety, and positively compared it to NSYNC and Christina Aguilera. She pointed to the group's cover of "We Are Family" as a highlight, saying that "[it] s made for dancing and has the coolest tempo".[2] Describing Nobody's Angel as a guilty pleasure, Armstrong wrote that the album had "perfectly blending voices" and "catchy tunes impossible to shake from your memory".[8] Rohwedder thought Nobody's Angel had music worthy of revisiting,[13] though Allie Funk of the same publication wrote that the group and lead single were not relevant.[15]

Nobody's Angel peaked at number 184 on the Billboard 200 chart on July 15, 2000, and remained on the chart for three weeks.[16] It reached number nine of the Heatseekers Album Billboard chart on April 1, 2000, and stayed on the chart for 22 weeks.[17] Harrell wrote that the album was a commercial success.[2]
