Angie Stone [2008] - More Betta [4847 Records]


This is a 'hard one' to find as it was only released on a 2008 compilation CD 'Shades Of A Woman: Reflections Of Love & Life', and only one has ever sold on Discogs (£40). 

Angie Stone 'burst' onto UK modern soul scene in 2000 with the wonderful 'No More Rain (In This Cloud)' (which samples Gladys Knight & The Pips' 'Neither One Of Us') from her solo debut 'Black Diamond' and she has given plenty more material since then including the 'Backstabbers' sampler 'I Wish I Didn't Miss You' in particular, from the follow up album 'Mahogany Soul', and her duet with Betty Wright 'Baby' from 'The Art Of Love And War'.  Not forgetting some of her earlier tracks with Devox on their 1996 album such as 'Tell Me', 'You Can't Hide Love', 'Tonight', 'Let It Go' (also previously recorded by Maysa and a later deep house version by Joi Cardwell in 2000). 

'More Betta' is a nice neo soul stepper.
