Angie Stone wears her soul on the outside like a spiritual armor that protects or a warm embrace that invites. Some have accepted her with open arms as evidenced by three Grammy Award nominations, two Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards, four Top 10 R&B albums and growing buzz surrounding her new release, Rich Girl. Yet some have neglected her soulful croons, down-to-earth wit charm, versatile music skills (from songwriting to production to playing saxophone) and have left her feeling like an outcast. Luckily for fans, she is a solid and virtually unbreakable force striving ahead with a host of projects, planning her wedding and overseeing her daughter’s aspiring singing career. This Stone just keeps on rolling, whatever may come.
