About Time is the debut solo studio album released by British R&B singer Angel. The album was released in Ireland on 12 April 2013 and in the UK on 15 April via Island and Universal Republic.
The release of the album was announced in January 2013, a month after the release of the single "Time After Time". On 16 March 2013, the release date of 15 April 2013 was confirmed via Facebook. The album includes guest appearances from the likes of British rapper Wretch 32, British DJ Trevor Nelson, American rapper Notorious B.I.G., Finnish band H.I.M, rapper Wizkid, and British soul singer Shakka. The album produced five singles: including four before the release, and one after. The track "Julie", released as Angel's debut single and initially due to appear on the album, was cut in favour of new material. The album debuted at #33 on the UK Albums Chart. A total of fifteen non-album tracks were released to the iTunes Store prior to the album's release, contained within three EPs, and B-sides to the album's singles.
