“Angel” is the first single from Senegalese-American R&B singer-songwriter, rapper, record producer Akon‘s fourth studio album, Akonic. The studio album was previously going to be titled Stadium, however he has been changed it to Akonic and the second planned single is to be titled “Stadium“.

It was announced in late 2009 that Akon’s fourth studio album, Akonic, was set for release in the first quarter of 2010. However, following managerial commitments to other artists, work on the album has not been completed. It was suggested that this would push the album’s release back to 2011.

Akon also stated that the title of the album may change between now and that time. Two tracks from the album have been leaked onto the web – “Nosy Neighbour”, which was suggested for the lead single, and “Party Animal”, both of which have been produced by David Guetta. The album’s lead single, “Angel”, will be released to US radio stations on September 14, 2010.

Lyrics for Akon – Angel

I’m looking at an angel
And believe me when I say
She got that whole place blowing (x2)
She got that whole place glowing
I’m looking at an angel
And believe me when I say
She got that whole place glowing (x3)
And she’s high in the sky singing
Way above the clouds in the sky singing (x4)

She got wings she got a halo
It seems to me so unnatural
Cos that’s one thing that I just don’t know
What seems to be so incredible
She looked at me took me by surprise yeah
As if she took me by the hand to some foreign land
And had me way up
Way above the clouds in the sky singing (x4)

Singing my song yeah yeah
From dust til dawn yeah yeah
I know you got a lot on your mind
But it won’t be long yeah yeah
… always get better yeah yeah
And I may be wrong yeah yeah
… across the line before they make it home yeah yeah
Singing my song yeah yeah
From dust til dawn yeah yeah
I know you got a lot on your mind
But it won’t be long yeah yeah
… always get better yeah yeah
And I may be wrong yeah yeah
… across the line before they make it home yeah yeah

I’m looking at an angel
And believe me when I say
She got that whole place blowing (x3)
I’m looking at an angel
And believe me when I say
She got that whole place glowing (x3)
And she’s high in the sky singing
