Little Angel is Ana Johnsson's second album, released on October 18, 2006, in Sweden and in Japan on February 14, 2007. The album had sold over 20,500 copies in Japan by April 13, 2007.

Album information

The album was recorded half in Sweden and half in Finland.[2] Two singles were released from the album; "Days of Summer" entered the Swedish singles charts at #7 and "Exception" at #10. In Japan, the album had two bonus tracks, "Falling to Pieces" (the B-side of the "Days of Summer" single) and a completely new track, "If I'm Not Dreaming". A new Japanese website by the Avex Trax record label was made for the release of Little Angel in Japan on which Johnsson said that she would be doing some promotion in Japan at the end of January.[citation needed]

The Japanese release became a CD/DVD release, with the CD containing the basic album tracks featuring, two bonus tracks and a video for "Exception".

Johnsson said of the album, "I wanted a more organic feeling this time, less of computer programming. To reach that we for instance use a lot of odd, old instruments. Some inspiration obviously comes from vintage American rock/grunge. But we still wanted to keep the Swedish 'flavour'." She continued, "We really wanted an overall album feeling this time. In the dynamics, in the song sequencing, in the cover graphics, etc. I really think we’ve fulfilled these ambitions." She linked album promotion to her skiing, saying, "This is really extraordinary since I spent all my life working the slopes. I was a semi-professional snowboarder in the Rocky Mountains in the late 90's and it was excellent that some of my promotion tours around "We Are" could be combined with skiing."[citation needed]

"Catch Me If You Can" was the official theme of the 2007 Alpine World Ski Championships. Johnsson performed in Åre on February 2 and 3, the first two days of the Championships. Skiing was also prominently shown in the music video for this song, which received lots of downloads on the official World Ski Championships site.[citation needed]

The album is dedicated to Ana Johnsson's brother; the first page of the CD jacket says "For my Brother" in white lettering on a black background.
