TOP 5 TRACKS
5. Bone 2 Pic (Wit U) (1999)
You don’t often hear Angie Stone sounding ready for war, but in “Bone 2 Pic (Wit U),” she’s definitely on the attack. In this track, she calls out her ex, airing out all the foul things he did to her. Instead of wallowing in sorrow, she’s determined to let him know exactly how sorry he is. I love the sly, almost playful vocal delivery she uses, while the track itself boasts an upbeat, dreamy backdrop that makes her message hit even harder.
4. Heaven Help (1999)
I would’ve loved to experience “Heaven Help” live. Backed by a soul-stirring, piano-driven instrumental that effortlessly pulls emotions to the surface, Angie Stone delivers a heartfelt message about being ready for love while hoping that the one meant for her is protected by God’s grace. The songwriting in this track is truly phenomenal, and Angie’s vocal performance—ranging from roaring power to delicate warmth to soul-clenching passion—makes it an unforgettable listening experience.
3. Brotha (2001)
As a Black man, “Brotha” is one of those songs that hits deep in the soul. Featured on Mahogany Soul, Angie Stone delivers a heartfelt tribute to her man, celebrating him as her king, provider, and ultimate support system. In an era where men and women often find themselves at odds, “Brotha” stands out as a refreshing and uplifting homage. With its beautiful lyrics, irresistibly catchy chorus, and an intoxicating rhythm that pulls you in, this track remains a powerful anthem of love and appreciation.
2. Wish I Didn’t Miss You (2001)
No matter your musical taste, “I Wish I Didn’t Miss You” from Angie Stone’s Mahogany Soul album is bound to resonate with you. The song’s powerful message is deeply relatable—Angie expresses the pain of longing for someone she’s given everything to, struggling to eat or sleep in their absence. As she waits, clinging to hope that they’ll return, her raw emotions pour through every note. This track carries even more weight now that we’ve lost Angie, making its heartfelt sorrow hit even harder.
1. No More Rain (1999)
“No More Rain (In This Cloud)” is an absolute masterpiece, radiating beauty and emotional depth. Featured on Black Diamond, the track sees Angie Stone embracing happiness after enduring hardship. Her uplifting message is perfectly complemented by a soothing, almost therapeutic instrumental, a tender yet powerful vocal performance, and stunningly soulful melodies.
