[edit] Album information

The album did not chart in the Swedish albums chart, despite both singles debuting in the ten of the country's singles chart. The album is to be released in Japan on February 14, 2007, containing two bonus tracks. The first one is "Falling to Pieces," the B-side of the "Days of Summer" single. The second is a completely new track "If I'm Not Dreaming." A completely new Japanese official website has been released for the forthcoming release of Little Angel in Japan. In a message on the official website, Ana states that she will be doing some promotion in Japan in the last days of January. The Japanese release became a CD/DVD release, with the CD containing the basic album track listing featuring two bonus tracks and the DVD will feature the video for "Exception" and more.

Ana said about the album:

I wanted a more organic feeling this time, less of computer programming. To reach that we for instance use a lot of odd, old instruments. Some inspiration obviously comes from vintage American rock/grunge. But we still wanted to keep the Swedish "flavour."

We really wanted an overall album feeling this time. In the dynamics, in the song sequencing, in the cover graphics, etc. I really think we’ve fulfilled these ambitions.

This is really extraordinary since I spent all my life working the slopes. I was a semi-professional snowboarder in the Rocky Mountains in the late 90's and it was excellent that some of my promotion tours around "We Are" could be combined with skiing.
