Angie Stone On Feeling Unloved and Being Influenced by Amy Winehouse
Entertainment
Angie Stone has no problem calling herself a “has-been,” even though that term might as well be a relic itself. In music at least, it’s much easier for veteran singers to reclaim their former fame (Madonna, Janet Jackson and Missy Elliott recently), as long as the music is good. Still, when it was time to consider giving up recording altogether, Stone, now 53 years old, says, “I didn’t know whether I should do another album. I had in my own mind said, No, I’m done. I’m going back with my grown self and live with my mom.” Some divine intervention came along that led to her seventh album, Dream.
