"Angel Boy" is a song by Italian singer Sabrina. The song was produced by Enrico Monti, Fulvio Zafret and Sergio Portaluri. It was released in 1995 as a non-album single.
After Sabrina's comeback with "Rockawillie", she quickly moved onwards to releasing another new single: "Angel Boy", a song very much in the format of the then-current "Euro"-style of dance-music, which meant – most of all – that a song had to feature a famous rapper, Tony Dyer. [1] Once again produced by Enrico Monti, four mixes of the song were prepared. Strangely, on most TV-shows, Sabrina did not mime to the "Short Edit", but to one of the longer remixes (in most cases, the "Angel Mix"), including on Spanish TV show "En Casa Con Raffaella". This single marked the end of her contract with her manager. [4]
Although all record companies used more or less the same standard design for the picture-sleeves and the same mixes on their releases, there are some variations in details. The German CD single – released on the ZYX dance-label – bordered Sabrina's futuristic picture with smaller versions of that same picture, while the German 12" did not even have a picture-sleeve at all. The Italian CD single does not only feature the four mixes of "Angel Boy", but also one mix of "Rockawillie". In France, a new format had developed at the beginning of the 1990s, the 2-track-CD single. Consequently, the French label Atoll Music released "Angel Boy" in this format.
The song reached No. 15 on the Finnish Singles Chart. However, in France, the single failed the chart.

A CD single is a music single in the form of a compact disc. The standard in the Red Book for the term CD single is an 8 cm (3-inch) CD. It now refers to any single recorded onto a CD of any size, particularly the CD5, or 5-inch CD single. The format was introduced in the mid-1980s but did not gain its place in the market until the early 1990s. With the rise in digital downloads in the early 2010s, sales of CD singles have decreased.
