37 y.o. Angie Stone is back with the follow-up for her debut album «Black Diamond». She admits that she got a colourful understanding of soul music: "I'm pretty sure that my soul has a certain colour. When I ought to tell the colour of my soul I wish it would be mahagony.

This colour is wonderful, wealthy, deep and passionate. This are the things I use to feel about my music." No question further about the title of her new album «Mahagony Soul».
The singer started her recording career long ago - just in 1979 as a member of The Sequence to be signed on the Sugarhill label. In the early 90ies she had the lead vocal part of the 4-piece-group Vertical Hold.
The first single release from «Mahagony Soul» was «Brotha» - a hommage to the Black man, which rejects the negative common stereotype which is all around. Why didn't honoured Angie the Black Sista on her new album? She told the SOUL that she believe that there will be a black brother soon who writes about his Black Sista or Soul Sista instead about bitches or hoes. "I have choosen the man also therefore, he is created earlier than the woman in a spiritual view." - Angie, are you serious with it ??? - "Yes, I'm still convinced for myself of it up to now. I could be the greatest pop star but I never would put myself above the man I have choosen as lifetime partner. He would be king in my life and I would come second in our relationship." Angie has revealed her fundamental interpretation of the bible. So the question arouses which role have gospel and religion for Mrs. Stones's music? "This is what keeps me alive. I take care that The Word is near to me always. Probably I will have a break after finishing this interview to read a bit in the Holy Scriptures. This is what I love and what I live for."
