Angela Via is the first edition of the self-titled debut album by Angela Vía. First scheduled for release on June 6, 2000, the album was not available for purchase until 2004. The album features Vía's two singles, "Picture Perfect" and "I Don't Care", and includes material both recorded before and after Vía signed her seven-album deal with Lava/Atlantic Records.

Although the album never hit stores, several of its tracks can be found on other commercial releases. These include the two singles, "Catch Me If You Can" which was included on the Pokémon: The First Movie soundtrack and "Best Friends" which was included on The Little Vampire movie soundtrack. "Wish We Could Be Free" was renamed to "Christmas Wish" and included on the TRL Christmas CD. In 2003, "Kissing You" could be heard in the Boat Trip movie, but the soundtrack never reached stores.

In 2004, Atlantic Records released the album through RealPlayer's music store, where it was available for download for a limited time. "Catch Me If You Can" can still be purchased via any digital music service, including iTunes.

A Spanish version of the album was also scheduled for release on June 6, 2000 but like the English version, never made it to stores. "Retrato Perfecto" was the first and only single released from this album. "Retrato Perfecto" received more videoplay on The Box TV channel than the English version of the song, "Picture Perfect".

[edit] Miscellanea

"Picture Perfect" first appeared on Angela's demo CD to Atlantic Records. Written about a high school crush, Angela found the chorus in poem form in her drawer and co-wrote the rest of the song with the songwriting duo Berny Cosgrove and Kevin Clark. On her Fox Kids TV special, On The Rise, Angela told her ex-crush that she wrote "Picture Perfect" about him.

Angela wrote "Stay Together" with Grammy Award-winner and singer-songwriter Carole King.

"Retrato Perfecto" is the Spanish version of "Picture Perfect".
