In 2016, Angie Stone gifted us her own cover album with Covered In Soul, in which she performed songs from the likes of Stevie Wonder, Carole King, Phil Collins, Bob Marley, etc. Three years later, Stone, who remains a pioneer of nu-soul – along with her compatriots Erykah Badu, Maxwell and her ex, D’Angelo – goes back to the roots of her sensual R&B with a new album, Full Circle. Her approach is rather conventional, both in production and singing. But thanks to her eminently recognisable voice, Angie Stone remains a blue-chip artist for velvety groove. © Clotilde Maréchal/Qobuz
