Angels - XXV

Angels XXV is a re recording of Robbie Williams’ 1997 single Angels, released in 2022 to mark the twenty fifth anniversary of his solo career. The track appears on the compilation album XXV, which features newly orchestrated versions of songs spanning his catalogue.

The XXV version was recorded with the Metropole Orkest and produced by Jules Buckley, presenting the song in a fuller orchestral arrangement. While retaining the original melody and structure, the new recording expands the instrumentation with sweeping strings and dynamic crescendos, giving the ballad a more cinematic scale.

Originally written by Williams with Guy Chambers, Angels became one of the defining songs of his career. The XXV reinterpretation revisits its themes of solace and spiritual reassurance, with Williams delivering a more mature vocal performance shaped by the passage of time.

Released as a single to promote XXV, Angels XXV reaffirmed the song’s enduring place within Williams’ repertoire. The updated version reflects both the longevity of the original composition and his continued interest in reimagining key works from his catalogue.
