Strange Angels is the fifth album overall and fourth studio album by performance artist and singer Laurie Anderson, released by Warner Bros. Records in 1989. With this release, Anderson attempted to move away from her previous image as a performance artist into a more musical realm. Although music had always been part of her performance, it was never brought to the fore as much as it was on Strange Angels. Anderson did more singing on this album than she did on previous albums. As a result, completion of this album was delayed for nearly a year when Anderson decided that she needed to take singing lessons; in the process she discovered that she was a soprano. rdf:langString

Although music had always been part of her performance, it was never brought to the fore as much as it was on Strange Angels. Anderson did more singing on this album than she did on previous albums. As a result, completion of this album was delayed for nearly a year when Anderson decided that she needed to take singing lessons; in the process she discovered that she was a soprano. The album includes contributions from vocal artist Bobby McFerrin. Its cover photo was shot by Robert Mapplethorpe, who died several months before the album's release. One of the songs on this album, "The Dream Before" (also known as "Hansel and Gretel Are Alive and Well") had been introduced several years earlier in her short film What You Mean We? while she had performed "Babydoll" and "The Day the Devil" years previously on Saturday Night Live. Reaction to Anderson's new direction was mixed, with some critics praising her new style, while some accused her of abandoning her performance art roots, even though Anderson soon began work on a major piece titled The Nerve Bible. Her next album would not be released for five years. Strange Angels received a nomination for a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album. "Beautiful Red Dress" was covered in Portuguese by the Brazilian singer Marina Lima, on her 2006 album La nos Primordios, titled "Vestidinho Vermelho" ("Little Red Dress"). "The Dream Before" contains the iconic phrase "history is an angel being blown backwards into the future" and further references and quotes Walter Benjamin's musing on Paul Klee's painting Angelus Novus, the ninth of Benjamin's Theses on the Philosophy of History.
rdf:langString Strange Angels è il quinto album di Laurie Anderson, pubblicato nel 1989. Tutte le musiche e i testi sono di Laurie Anderson ad eccezione di The Day of the Devil (che è scritta insieme con Peter Laurence Gordon). Laurie Anderson in questo album attenua il suo ruolo di performance artist e cerca una propria dimensione come musicista. Benché la musica sia sempre stata parte delle sue performance, è con questo album che viene per la prima volta messa in primo piano. A differenza dei lavori precedenti, l'album è quasi completamente cantato; l'uscita fu posticipata di un anno a seguito della decisione della Anderson di prendere lezioni di canto, in cui scoprì di avere una voce da mezzo-soprano. Alle voci dell'album partecipa Bobby McFerrin. La copertina è di Robert Mapplethorpe, morto alcuni mesi prima dell'uscita dell'album. L'album ha ricevuto una nomination ai Grammy Award come miglior album di musica alternativa. Del brano "Beautiful Red Dress" è stata fatta una cover in portoghese dalla cantante brasiliana Marina Lima, intitolata "Vestidinho Vermelho" e pubblicata nel 2006.
