Angie Stone rounds out our Comeback Girl week. She’s on a newly revived label, Stax Records (second only to Motown in soul music sales), as its first artist. We all remember her on Vh-1’s Celebrity Fit club and was often characterized as slightly unmotivated (or as Harvey put it-”lazy”). I know that those reality shows get ratings by taking a character and exaggerating some flaws to make great tv and sometimes a nut job. But as Vh1 was painting its broad brush over Stone, I could still see a great artist who lives and breathes music.
Angie Stone’s myspace says she is “diva-ready”, with a great creative family, kids, and a new man.
Watch out there now Angie. We know that Comeback Girls are equally invigorated and inspired by love and loss (see Jill Scott).
“The Art Of Love And War” dropped Oct. 16. I love the single “Baby” feat. Betty Wright. Wright is best known for “The Clean Up Woman”.
