Free Music Notes for The Art of Love and War
Free Music Review: I'm so happy she's not trying to cross over - This CD is WONDERFUL
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is great. This woman is the reason that Maxwell had some hits once upon a time. You can hear her influence in his biggest hits. This woman isn't trying to cross over to boring pop. This is the rhythm, the blues, the NEO SOUL at its best.
I love every track except PEOPLE and it is solid - I just don't like it. The girl is BAAAAD. Thank you for not trying to win over hip hop fans with gratuitous rap. Thank you for being you. Thank you for a wonderful gift. We'll see you at the BET Music Awards.
Mega Kudos to the clean up woman, Betty Wright.
Free Music Review: I expected more...
Hit: 3 Stars
I was not as pleased with this CD. Maybe she should have released it before Chaka, Chrisette, Jill and Ledisi...
I am going to give it another chance but so far she can't touch these last few female R&B CD's
Even Latifah's is better than this to me..
Free Music Review: Great Music
Hit: 5 Stars
Angie Stones CD is a welcome suprise. I didn't know what to expect; but this is a great CD. I love the CD and have it in replay in my car...Way to go AngieFree Music Review: Sweeping soul!
Hit: 5 Stars
There are few singers who are able to release consistently fabulous albums, but Angie Stone is one of them. "The art of love and war" is her fourth studio release and features earthy soul/funk sounds like the uptempo horn peppered "Play with it", "Take everything in" (nice piano), the retro sounding "Baby" (with Betty Wright), and the simply outstanding stomping "My people" (with James Ingram) with lyrics about her "people", Quincy Jones, Mandela, Oprah, Tiger Woods, Rosa Parks, Obama and King among those hailed in the black hall of fame. Its bouncy bassline dares you not to dance while thinking on the message.
Like her previous efforts, the sound is more mid-to-downtempo; songs like the lovely piano sprinkled "Half a chance" (featuring John Legend), the harmonious accapella "Go back to your life", "Make it last", the sweeping "Pop pop", and the lush semi-acoustic closing ballad "Happy being me" (with Paulette Washington), sounding like a seventies classic a-la Stevie Wonder or Marvin Gaye.
Her singing is fantastic (as usual) and the sound rich and well played/produced. Hopefully, this will be the album to finally put Ms Stone up where she belongs, alongside the Jill Scotts and John Legends, people who are doing great things with soul music.
Free Music Review: Real Sangin'!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
There are certain voices you can't wait to hear: Jill Scott, Luther Vandross, Aretha Franklin, Anthony Hamilton and ANGIE STONE! This is real soul music. Real Sangin'!!! Great music! 'These Are My Reasons,' 'Half a Chance,' 'Baby' (of course), 'Sometimes,' and 'Make It Last' are my favorites but I don't skip a song.
Thanks Angie for showing up when we needed you.
