"City of Angels" is a song by American rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars (pictured), featured on their fourth studio album Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams (2013). Written by lead vocalist Jared Leto, who also produced the song with Steve Lillywhite, "City of Angels" was inspired by Leto's experience of living in Los Angeles with his family and was influenced by the city's culture. Imbued with elements of arena rock as well as music from the 1980s, the track was cited as an example of the album's variety and experimentation. It received general acclaim from music critics, who commended the composition, the lyrics, and Leto's vocal performance. The song was released in October 2013 as the third single from the album, reaching number eight on the US Alternative Songs. An accompanying music video that features several personalities sharing their visions about Los Angeles was positively reviewed by critics, resulting in various accolades. Thirty Seconds to Mars performed "City of Angels" on their major concert tours from 2013 through 2015. (Full article...)
