<I>Mahogany Soul</I> perfectly describes the rich, deep, and lived-in music Angie Stone makes. This veteran singer/songwriter, who was one-third of rap trio Sequence, led acid-jazz combo Vertical Hold, and had a major hand in creating D'Angelo's <I>Brown Sugar</I>, follows up 1999's critically acclaimed <I>Black Diamond</I> with another collection of grown-up R&B that's sexy, satisfying, and smart. Along with (wo)manning the helm herself, Stone links up with like-minded visionaries. Chief among them are Raphael Saadiq, who produced the single "Brotha," which moves with a purposeful, rugged, old-soul swagger, and Andrea Martin, coproducer with Swizz Beatz on the vibrant and aching "Wish I Didn't Miss You," which features a dope "Backstabbers" loop and Stone's husky vocals. At 17 cuts, there's a bit of drag, but not enough to deter you from Stone's wise and determined ease, and on the gritty "Twenty Dollars," Stone gives all those R&B princesses something to really chew on. --Amy Linden

5 out of 5 stars Plan Ole good music.......2006-03-14

It is nice to have a CD you can pop in and enjoy every track. This is one such CD. I really enjoy her music. The vocals are strong, the lyrics are wonderful, and the melodies keeps me going.

5 out of 5 stars Baby making music.......2006-02-17

Again, Angie Stone remains A Rock. Music for when you're happy, sad, horny, stressed, angry, PMSin. Music for woman, man and everything in between. Angie Stone is the master of her own soulful world. The man who gave this CD to me has no idea how abolutely addicted I am to Mahogany Soul. Fabulous, just fabulous.

5 out of 5 stars ONLY GAVE 5 STARS BECAUSE ***10 STARS*** is not an option!!.......2005-12-21

THIS is the BEST R&B/NEO album... definitely the best released of the year... but it's one of the best in History... Angie Stone is a REMARKABLE talent with an AMAZING voice... I do not think this album received the level of recognition it deserved. Overall, Angie Stone is one of the strongest voices in R&B/NEO soul to date. I can't pick a Favorite because they are all equally awesome... I give two big, big, big thumbs up to this album!!!!!!!!!! Just put it in, Press play! No need to skip tracks.

4 out of 5 stars it deserves 5 stars for brotha alone.......2005-08-24

god i love that song (despite what Kosmo77 says) considering its a breath of fresh air from all the black male bashing that contemparary pop/R&B artists put out .but i also love i wish i didn't miss you anymore.angie's voice is verry old school and soothing to the heart and soul.she reminds you of the lady who had the powerfull solo during the church choir.its to bad that she doesn't get much recognition as her hip-pop/R&B counterparts like you know who.eitherway this is a great cd and i hope she sticks around unlike other great artists that get snubbed,and shelved by their record labels because they don't know what to do with them.in short get this cd if you like good R&b soul music.

5 out of 5 stars Strictly for the ladies-GET THIS!!!!.......2005-08-08

With the exception of the song "Brotha", this album is strictly for the ladies. There is a song for all times of the day, week, MONTH, you name it, its here. This is my way of incorporating some of the titles of the tracks alone as they pertain to me. I'm "more than a woman" but I get so "pissed off" because I get "mad issues" during that "time of the month". I want "soul insurance" but its "easier said than done". "I wish I didn't miss you" but "life goes on".
