Description
"Angelia" is a ballad recorded by Richard Marx and the third released single on his second album, Repeat Offender.
Richard Marx based the sound of "Angelia" on Def Leppard's 1983 album "Pyromania" and 1987 album "Hysteria". During recordings of "Angelia", engineer and co-producer David Cole along with Richard Marx tried to copy the sounds of the guitars and drums that Def Leppard and producer "Mutt" Lange had used on the "Hysteria" and "Pyromania" records.
Ironically, during a night out with Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen, Richard Marx was told that Def Leppard attempted to emulate Angelia for a song that was to appear on the next Def Leppard album, "Adrenalize". The song Def Leppard recorded with "Angelia" in mind was likely the hit "Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad".
The production and sound of the song "Angelia" is Richard Marx's favorite from his second album, "Repeat Offender".
