In the City of Angels is the fifth solo album by Yes lead singer Jon Anderson, released in 1988.

Unlike most of Anderson's previous solo works, this album contains many additional songwriters. Consequently, it is the most commercial sounding album in his catalog. Members of the band Toto perform on several songs. Jon reciprocated the favor by performing on their album The Seventh One (recorded about the same time as In the City of Angels).

Two songs from the album ("Hold on to Love" and "In a Lifetime") were co-written by Lamont Dozier, of Motown records.

A music video for "Hold on to Love" aired on TV. In the video, the album is titled In the City of Lost Angels. Chris Squire has a cameo appearance in the video as acoustic bass player.

Personnel

Reception

Paul Robicheau of The Boston Globe wrote a mixed review, referring to the album as "Jon goes to Hollywood". He criticized Anderson's "smarmy lyrics" and the album's commercial production, likening the album's sound to Toto. Robicheau singled out the track "Hold On To Love" as having a "perky appeal" and noted the "interesting rhythm" on "Sundancing". Robicheau concluded his review by writing "this is a record you can both love and hate."[3]
