Mahogany Soul’ perfectly describes the rich, deep, and lived-in music Angie Stone makes. This veteran singer/songwriter, who was one-third of rap trio ‘Sequence’, led acid-jazz combo ‘Vertical Hold’, and she had a major hand in creating DAngelos ‘Brown Sugar’ album. Just as India Arie delivers in Acoustic Soul, so does Ms. Stone invoke memories of Marvin Gaye and Donny Hathaway, so smooth, so rich, so velvet. “The Ingredients Of Love” with Musiq Soulchild is a tight song and a nice collaboration between Neo Soul artists and “Wish I Didnt Miss You”, which takes the beat from The O Jays “Backstabbers” and Angie ripping it with her vocals. Angie Stone has finally started to gain the recognition she has deserved for so long. 1. Soul Insurance 2. Brotha 3. Pissed Off 4. More Than a Woman 5. Snowflakes 6. Wish I Didnt Miss You 7.
