Two Wings is the third studio album by Australia vocal duo Vika & Linda Bull. The album was released in August 1999 and debuted and peaked at number 34 on the Australian ARIA Charts in September 1999.

Australian music journalist Ian McFarlane described the album as an "inspired song selection ranging from blues and gospel to reggae and soul."[1]

At the ARIA Music Awards of 2000, the album was nominated for ARIA Award for Best Adult Contemporary Album, but lost to Into the Land of Promise by Karma County.[2]

Reception

Billboard magazine said the song choices were exquisite and praised the harmonies calling them "luscious" on "God's Little Birds". Adding ""Feel the Spirit" is a traditional stomper".[3]
