Angels was released on DVD in 2005 as part of EMI’s series of artist focused video compilations. The release forms part of a catalogue initiative highlighting key moments from Robbie Williams’ early solo career.
The DVD centres on the single Angels, originally issued in 1997 from Life Thru a Lens. In addition to the promotional video, the disc includes supplementary material connected to the track and its wider impact within Williams’ catalogue.
The release capitalised on the enduring popularity of Angels, widely regarded as Williams’ signature ballad. By 2005, the song had become a staple of his live performances and a defining entry in his body of work.
Issued during the mid 2000s expansion of DVD formats, Angels reflects a period in which record labels repackaged key singles and video content for the home entertainment market.
