Golden Stone August 31, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
That Ms Stone (nee Brown) has never quite hit the BIG big time is a mystery.
Her 2006 appearance on Celebrity Fit Club would not necessarily have helped matters.
The real reason however is more likely to be a musical one.
Ms Stone's choice of material is just a little too far to the left of the mainstream to
have guaranteed her a place in the pantheon of great soul divas.
Uncompromising quality lays at the heart of her previous three releases and
'The Art Of Love And War' is no exception.
The warm, laid-back, velvety quality of her voice imbues all 14 tracks of this
splendid little album with a soft golden sheen.
Her tone, phrasing and the fluid elegance of her consummate interpretive
ability are never anything less than classy and credible.
Standout tracks include beautiful opening song 'Take Everything In' -
vintage Stone; 'Baby', a softly lilting duet with Betty Wright; 'These
Are The Reasons', with its' gorgeously layered vocal harmony arrangement;
the upbeat, short-but-sweet 'Play Wit It', an R&B barnstormer worthy of
comparison with the estimable Ms Khan; 'Wait For Me', for my money, the
sweet beating heart and soul of this fine new project.
The suberb musicianship and production skills evident on the album
are consistently slick and sympathetic throughout.
Highly recommended.
Angie does it again but BETTER! June 26, 2008
Angie Stone is a true artist and makes me weep - there is awesome power,feeling, depth and beauty in how magnificantly she sings. My two favourites are Baby and Sometimes.
WOW! Does not express how truly great this lady is. For the true soul connoisseurs.

Soul & Music Fans PERIOD this album is FIREEEEEEE!!
Angie Stone isn't an artist to put aside and i must say ALL her albums have great elements but this 4me is a complete Angie Stone Album no song on the album is skippable(IMO).
This album is like a journey through her past albums to this point and i was more than impressed.
I have my ultra favs from the album but i find myself playing the whole album be4 i go back to those favs.
All i can say to sum this up as is Soul(Smooth Groove) music at its best and a must to be in the collection of classic CD's
Oh yes, this is a soul album...... November 13, 2007

.....of the highst caliber. Angie comes back on a new label with her most complete album since Black Diamond, if not her best ever.....not that the others have lacked quality but this is soul and then some. There are three top drawer uptempo tracks in the form of 'Baby'(with the wonderful clean up woman Betty Wright), 'Play Wit It' & 'My People' featuring James Ingram. The grooves get no better then the soothing 'Pop Pop' & 'Here We Go Again' whilst 'Happy Being Me' finishes off the album simply with Angie's voice as a clear as the sky on a winter's night.
Angie's Best Album Yet !! November 13, 2007
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
Angie has produced some cracking albums in the past, but this goes straight to the top of the list in my view. Stand outs for me are the sublime "Baby", the awesome "My people" with the much loved vocals of James Ingram and "Pop pop". However, I do feel guilty picking out just these because this is the real deal... all killer no filler. This set works on every level and I think is a must for an soul music fan. Just buy it and look forward to the gigs early in 2008 (as promised at the recent Jazz Cafe shows).
