Album Reviews
Hear it Now
View
Soulstress Angie Stone makes well-meaning adult-geared R&B, but unlike most of her peers, she injects her music with bawdy bravado. Unfortunately, her third
album is languorous to a fault (especially when compared with her stellar 1999 disc Black Diamond). Her arrangements are minimal -- pianos and light percussion, augmented here and there with a summery guitar -- and she's thinning her voice to match. "That Kind of Love," her duet with the legendary Betty Wright, pops like the best Seventies Motown material but never explodes. Oddly, the high point comes with the lowest concept. "I Wanna Thank Ya" sports an ostentatious Jazze Pha beat and a grown-and-sexy rap by Snoop Dogg. When Stone insists, "Your love is gangsta,"
it sounds a hell of a lot better than it reads; she gasps the line like a disco diva, spent in the best sense possible.
