Well damn, it looks like she followed in Lionel Richie's footsteps afterwards. lol

Not really. She may have started making mid-tempo songs, but at least she stayed a true r&b/soul artist. She didn't attempt to do the pop thing.

She recorded a couple of excellent albums with Vertical Hold back in the 90's. I thought her first U.S. solo, "Black Diamond", was exceptional. But, it all seemed to go downhill after that. Every album has gotten progressively worse.

I know thats your opinion. But I strongly disagree. All of her albums contain good material and are performed to excellence by Miss Stone.


Her first release for Stax was damn good. This one she didn't do
it quite right but still a hell of a lot better than the crap that's
on the market now.

She said on Brian McKnight's show that this was the hardest project she's ever done. Especially since her father died while she was recording it.

omg I did NOT know about Angie Stone and D'Angelo!

Anyway, she's got a good voice and (more importantly) is comfortable in her own skin. That confidence is very sexy.

I was talking in terms of leaving the funk behind. As far as staying true to R&B/soul, that's fine in the early 80s when it was still good. But far as staying true to R&B/soul from the 1990s to the present, that's the last thing I want to see. Hell, even country was better than R&B by then. lol
