Background


City of Angels is Vanessa's first self-produced album.[6] In speaking with Sydney Sentinel, Amorosi said she considers it the "most Vanessa Amorosi album", saying: "This is going to make people understand who I am."[6] On TV program Sunrise, Amorosi added, "This is the album that I've always wanted to get to people, so it's an exciting time,” and one she describes as 'one hundred percent me." Amorsi said she hopes her fans "feel something" and "go through a journey" when they listen to her latest material.[7]


Reception


Danny Waterson from The Sydney Sentinel called the album "a sonically daring song cycle featuring lush production, exquisite musicianship and some of Amorosi's most personal lyrics to date, it's led by gospel-rock and features myriad musical styles, including Middle Eastern instrumentals."[6] Waterson said "one of the standout tracks is the '80s rock-tinged synth anthem 'Muhammad'" and highlighting "the feel[-]good sing-along song 'Take it Easy'".[6]
