When the Angels Swing is a live album by German girl group No Angels. It was released by Cheyenne Records and Polydor on 29 November 2002 and recorded in promotion of a special one-off big band concert at the Berlin Tränenpalast on 2 October 2002. Musicians Jens Kuphal and Till Brönner were consulted to re-arrange songs from the group's first two albums Elle'ments (2001) and Now... Us! (2002) for the album which was inspired by the New York City Stork Club and several 1940s swing standards.
The album earned mixed to positive reviews from music critics who noted that it differed highly from the group's previous, mainstream pop releases. While the album failed to chart on the Swiss Albums Chart, When the Angels Swing peaked at number 9 on the German Albums Chart and reached number 22 in Austria. In promotion of the album, "All Cried out," a cover of the same-titled 1984 song by English singer Alison Moyet was issued as a single and became a top 20 success in Germany.
