ANGIE STONE 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: This is an album of cover versions by Angie Stone, an American singer and songwriter widely known for her soul and r&b originals. The 12 tracks hear Stone pay honorific tribute to her many influences and favourites - such as Neil Diamond, Carole King, Adele and The O'Jays - in an intriguingly contemporary electro-soul style borrowing from everything from trap, to dub, to ballads. Watch out for an especially twinkly 'O-o-h Child' cover, as well as a suspenseful and production-heavy new take on 'Is This Love'.

Review: Oooh! Angie Stone's "Wish I Didn't Miss You" definitely belongs in the canon of all time modern soul classics. Taken from her 2001 second album Mahogany Soul, the Swizz Beats produced track made optimum usage of an O' Jays sample and was instrumental in that LP going gold and propelling the former D'Angelo collaborator to stardom. It also inspired countless official and under the counter remixes with Blaze's perhaps the most recognisable. So yes this reissue on 7" from Outta Sight is worthy if you don't have the original in your collection and features a housed up remix from Hex Hector on the flip.

Review: Angie Stone's 'Wish I Didn't Miss You' is a gold standard R&B and neo-soul gem from the genres' heyday. It's actually an interpolated composition that draws on The O'Jays's 1972 tune 'Back Stabbers' and was, quite famously, the last ever record played by Carl Cox at the last ever party at Ibiza super club Space when it closed at the end of summer 2016. The aching vocal is perfect, the yearning bass and the tumbling, woody drums irresistible, the whole thing a stone cold classic. The flip of this reissue features a raw and steamy house mix from Hex Hector.
