Hola mi amigos!!! It’s your girl WestStyle Chronicles with GFM bringing you the exclusive!!! From hip hop, R&B and neo soul, Angie Stone has done it all. We had the great opportunity to catch up with Ms. Stone on the release of her upcoming album, Unexpected
She shared everything from the inspiration for her new album to her dream musical collaboration – and no, it’s not D’Angelo people. So pull yourself up a seat and join the conversation with the 3 time Grammy nominated, Stax recording artist,………….. Angie Stone.
WestStyle Chronicles: I have to say I’m really excited and glad to get a chance to talk to you. How are you doing? How you feeling?
Angie Stone: I’m feeling pretty good right now – just doing a family thing. I’m good with the anticipation of the album, I’m good with the artwork and I’m good with how we’ve structured and prepared for this project.
WStyle: Now you have a new single out on your upcoming album “Unexpected” called “I Ain’t Hearin’ You”. Now I was just talking to my partner the other day about how hard it can be to find simple “feel good” music. Was that the feeling you were going for in this song because it has that feel.
AStone: Yeah, I was actually reaching back for the Evelyn “Champagne” King days. Trying to get that music that when you heard it, “Baby, you make my love come down” (singing) – I was thinking about that time period and where everybody was mentally. You heard that record. It was a feel good record. You felt good when you heard it.
WStyle: And that’s something you don’t hear too often.
AStone: Right, and that’s exactly what I was going for.
