The highly anticipated new CD by the neo-soul diva is, simply put, her best album ever. Includes the new hit single "Baby" featuring the legendary BETTY WRIGHT and "My People" with the incomparable JAMES INGRAM.
From Amazon.com:
Angie Stone has soul to burn, as hordes of breathless fans who stand by the excellence of 2004's Stone Love know, and despite a change in record labels and hairdos, her mighty reserves haven't dwindled--The Art of Love and War, on the re-launched Stax label, is as full-bodied an affair as this old-school-leaning, incessantly self-exploring diva has delivered. The comparisons to Jill Scott should dead-end here: Songs like "Baby," with the gospel great Betty Wright, and "Sometimes," with backing singers who strut right through the beat and into the part of the brain that makes swaying happen, are all Angie. Which is to say their edges are never going to need sharpening, but they're also porous enough to let in softness and a sense of hard-won maturity. A couple of late-disc numbers pull off the excellent feat of also letting the funk in--"Play Wit It" captures a Lauryn Hill kind of cool, groovy but substantial, and "Pop Pop" goes for (and achieves) full-on fizziness with an undercurrent of sophistication. --Tammy La Gorce

Helping You Get Through that thing called Love -  |
The Art of Love and War Review |
|
I have always loved Angie Stone, but when I heard "Sometimes" it was like the words just hit my emotions like, if you aint sang'ing the truth girl! If anyone is trying to get over, move on, or just want to celebrate the highs and lows of love this CD is so on point for each and every emotion you could possibly be having. Great Job Ms. Stone! |

The Art of Love and War Review |
|
Where to begin? I will say this is the first album from angie that I actually have on disc(I know where the hell have I been) but I've heard her in the past and while I wouldnt call her a lost act from the 70s, she does seem to have show some growth this time around. The so called "neo-soul" genre is quickly becoming generic. However, angie shows a balance of different production(using more live instruments) and her lyrics have matured. I guess she used that hiatus that she took wisely. The album as a whole is about the good and bad of love and life.
Now to talk about the tracks. Track one was a good intro track that kind of gives us an idea how she has grown mentally. I never cared for track 2. However, I do like that she used Betty Wright in the song. But it's just the chorus has been used countless times before. She has a few tracks that talk about arguing("here we go again", "make it last") My people is a song dedicated to the greats in the African-American race. Even going as far as to name possibly every black minister and activist for past and present. And yes, this at the end of the song included Bill Clinton. Pop pop and sit down get much play in my car when I'm driving from work. In my opinion, happy being me was the best on the lp. The production is just right and the lyrics are from her experience. If you are an angie stone fan, give the CD a shot. 82% B |

The Art of Love and War Review |

This is a good cd, but there's no originality. Some of the songs sound alike, making it hard to decipher what track you are listening to. Angie has a beautiful voice, but she needs to change it up a little. |

This is the first CD I've ever purchased by Angie Stone and I must say, I am indeed impressed.
I've always liked her music, but just never purchased anything and this is well worth it! My favs are Here we go Again, These are the Reasons, Sit down and Happy Being me. A must have to any collection |
