CD Reviews

A good compilation, but too soon for a greatest hits...
Nathaniel | NY | 10/26/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Angie Stone was one of the first neo soul artisits to hit the scene. She released three solid, if not great, albums over the course of about 5 years. Considering that she only had about one or two succesful songs per album, it's a given that this is not exactly a greatest hits, but more of a cash in compilation for the record label.



Nonetheless, this a good compilation, doing a good job at picking out the best songs from each album. So if you didn't buy all of the albums and you want the highlight, here's the album for you. Also, this album has three exclusive tracks to offer, "I Wasn't Kidding", "Little Boy" and the version of "More Than A Woman" feauturing Joe instead of Calvin Richardson. "I Wasn't Kidding" sounds like a throwout track from Stone Love. But it is still a decent track. "Little Boy" is great and the Joe version of "More Than A Woman" is great, although I prefer the album version more.



Overall, this is a good compilation that highlights the best tracks from her three albums. It is a good album to just relax to and it is pretty enjoyable. Although, it is way too early to release a greatest hits.

Enchanting and soulful

"I bought this album as an introduction to Angie Stone's music. The only familiar track was the first (I Wish I Didn't Miss You) with its luscious bass line. So the rest was a new territory, one that I became increasingly delighted to discover. Stone's style indeed belongs to another era, but what a glorious era it was. How rare it is today to find a soul/r&b singer that doesn't overdo her part or compromise her sound just to be trendy. The little rapping heard on this compilation only adds flavor to a well seasoned meal.

I only wish some songs were twice as long (they don't make 12" versions today). Little Boy is a true gem."
STONE HITS!!

"I never really heard of Angie Stone before, but the other day I was watching VH1 soul, and saw I Wanna Thank Ya video and I loved it. Then I decided to buy her greatest hits album and now I love it! I am now a huge fan of Angie Stone and I plan to buy all her previous album.

My Favorites Are:

Wish I Didn't Miss You

Brotha

No More Rain (In This Cloud)

I Wasn't Kidding

I Wanna Thank Ya

Everyday

U-Haul



People should stop giving her bad reviews just because it's Copy-Protected. I had no problem getting it on my iPod."
