Destiny (No Angels album)

Destiny is the fourth regular studio album by all-female German pop group No Angels, released by Polydor Records and Universal Music Domestic on 13 April 2007 in German-speaking Europe. A comeback release, it marked the return of No Angels after the group had gone into hiatus in autumn 2003, which allowed each member to launch solo careers. Primarily produced by production duo Twin, with additional contribution from Jiant, Max Martin, Adrian Newman, and Thorsten Brötzmann as well as several new producers, it was the first album to feature No Angels's third lineup, excluding original band member Vanessa Petruo.

Recorded at the Sound Studio N in Cologne within a period of a few weeks only, Destiny is composed of uptempo songs and ballads that are subsequent continuations of the band's previous material such as Now... Us! (2002) and Pure (2003). A pop album, it combines pop rock with elements of contemporary R&B and dance music. Lyrically, it includes themes of friendship, monogamous love and relationship issues. Destiny was released to generally mixed to negative reviews from music critics, many of whom praised the band for their vocal performances but found the material too generic and cliché-addled.

Destiny became the band's first album to miss the top of the German Albums Chart, peaking at number four. It also reached number fourteen and number twenty-two in Austria and Switzerland respectively, barely selling 30,000 copies within the first three months of release. Altogether, the album spawned five singles, including "Goodbye to Yesterday" and "Maybe", the ballad "Amaze Me", the Womack & Womack cover "Teardrops" and the German ESC entry "Disappear". Previously unreleased, latter two appeared on a re-release edition of the album, branded Destiny Reloaded and released on 14 March 2008.
