Wings of Desire is the fifth studio album by American singer Jennifer Rush, released in November 1989.
After working mainly with American writers and producers for her last two albums, Rush decided to bring her music back to Europe and collaborated with producers Christopher Neil, Phil Ramone and others, including a song ("Angel") co-written by ABBA affiliate Tomas Ledin.
Wings of Desire failed to sell as well as Rush's earlier albums, although it did make the top 20 in Germany, Sweden and Switzerland. In her biggest market, Germany, the album remained in the chart for 20 weeks. [1] In the UK the album was released in April 1990 with the lead single "Higher Ground". It failed to chart highly in the UK despite her scoring a hit with "Till I Loved You" the previous year. [2]
The title track "Wings of Desire" was released as a second single in 1990. [3]
