“After what I’ve done in music, I’m looking to transform and focus as much on theatre and film work. I have such a passion for performing and I get a real excitement from working in that arena, it’s quite different to singing and is such a different form of expression.” – Angie Stone.

About Angie Stone
Angie Stone, who went by the name Angela Laverne Brown, was a singer, songwriter, actor, and record producer who was born in the United States on December 18, 1961. Her estimated net worth is $4 million. Angie started singing gospel music when she was a little child while growing up in Columbia, South Carolina.
Her father would take his only kid to see gospel performers like the Singing Angels and the Gospel Keynotes perform because he was a member of a neighborhood gospel quartet. She wrote poems, participated in athletics, and had scholarship offers to play collegiate basketball after graduating from high school. Stone started accumulating money while working pointless jobs so she could record her own demos at a nearby studio.
born in 1961 as Angela Laverne Brown. was brought up in Columbia, South Carolina.
Earlier Years
The Sequence, a rap group that recorded for the Sugarhill label, included singer Angie (also known as Angie B), self-taught keyboardist Cheryl Cook, and Gwendolyn Chisolm. Later, Angie helped form the Neo-Soul group Vertical Hold. As the lead vocalist on Vertical Hold’s urban dance song “Seems You’re Much Too Busy,” which became an R&B Top 40 hit during the summer of 1993, she experienced her first significant commercial success. Angie later became a solo artist as a result of her popularity.
Solo Career
Black Diamond, her first solo album, was made available in 1999 by Arista. For her second album, Mahogany Soul, she switched to J Records in 2001. Thanks to the pop/R&B smash “Brotha.” the album debuted in the Top 40. Her third album, Stone Love, which peaked at number 14 on the charts in 2004, became her biggest hit. Stone Hits: The Best of Angie Stone, a greatest hits collection, was released in 2005. In addition to singing the show’s theme song, Stone guest starred on a 2002 episode of the UPN comedy Girlfriends.
The “The Art of Love & War”
Finally, Angie Stone’s producers have done it correctly. Angie’s previous albums featured breakbeats, samples, and other song components that seemed to contrast with her old school Soul atmosphere and her mature, occasionally gruff vocals. However, in her third album, The Art of Love & War, lush, mature, mid-tempo background tracks support her voice and her songs much more than those repetitive beats and faux-hip hop material ever did. Things have come together now that she is singing over the appropriate instrumentals. One of Angie’s most cohesive and soulful R&B albums to date is this one.
Assurance and maturity
Angie Stone’s voice can wrap you and provide you a lot of warmth and joy. It’s like a thick, warm blanket. She is still one of the more skilled R&B/Soul singers currently active, as evidenced by her fourth album, The Art of Love & War, which confirms that fact despite the fact that she has never experienced the tremendous success in America that some singers with half as much vocal prowess have.
Angie’s sophisticated, yet casual, singing style may not be to everyone’s taste, but if you’re in her target demographic (those in their mid-40s to early 50s), you’ll love her semi-retro, yet up-to-date, style. The debut single, “Baby,” which includes the legendary Gospel vocalist Betty Wright, is among the album’s strongest songs. As they sing about a man who leaves his honey after achieving success, the two women’ voices blend beautifully.
Angie sings about her problems in The Art of Love & War in a mature, self-assured manner that’s comparatively short on histrionics and features zero over-the-top drama, despite the album’s theme and the most of the songs being about the ups and downs of love and life. There is a level of class and dignity that is lacking in most of today’s music, R&B and otherwise, even on the achingly intimate relationship ballads “Make It Last” and “Go Back to Your Life,”
The lively “Play With It” and the jubilant “Pop Pop” are overly repetitious and don’t quite blend in with the other 12 tracks on the CD. The Art of Love & War is likely Angie’s best album, albeit it does have a few minor problems.
On stage and in films
Angie has performed in both a performance of the play “Chicago.” and in several movies. She has two kids, one of whom was fathered by Stone’s 1990s boyfriend, the Neo-Soul musician D’Angelo. TAngie made an appearance on the fourth season of the well-liked VH1 reality show “Celebrity Fit Club,” which chronicles the hardships of overweight celebrities trying to lose weight, in the summer of 2006.
The Whole Circular
Angie’s eighth studio album, Full Circle, was released in 2019 and was distributed by Cleopatra Records and Conjunction Entertainment. “Dinosaur” the album’s main single, was created by Walter Millsap III and Hallway Productionz. Angie Stone’s net worth is projected to reach $4 million as of 2023.
