Angel (Gina Jeffreys album)

Angel is the fifth studio album by Australian country singer Gina Jeffreys. It was released in April 2002 and became her third album to chart on the ARIA top 50 after it debuted at No.42.

"Angel" was produced by Garth Fundis, who had worked with Alabama, Don Williams and Trisha Yearwood. He signed up for the project on the spot after hearing Gina's third album, ‘Somebody’s Daughter’. Whilst discussing the album, Jeffreys said; "I feel I've evolved since ‘Somebody's Daughter’, and now have a more diverse range of musical influences. But I also believe my fans are evolving and maturing with me, and I'm looking forward to performing the new songs for them."

The album was nominated for the 'ARIA Award for Best Country Album' at the 2001 ceremony. It lost out to "Looking Forward, Looking Back " by Slim Dusty.

The lead single and title track, "Angel" received significant airplay on music video shows including rage and Video Hits and peaked at No.57 on the ARIA singles chart.

At the APRA Awards of 2002, it won ‘Most Performed Country Work’. "Angel" won Jeffreys her fifth Golden guitar award at the Tamworth Country Music Awards of Australia in 2002 for ‘Video Clip of the Year’. The song was a finalist in the Australian Animation Awards of 2001.
