Drawing influence from the likes of Marvin Gaye, Mahogany Soul is Angie Stone’s fusion opus – the smooth blend of country, R&B, jazzy pop that would become some of her most successful work. Spanning over an hour long, although singles like “Brotha” and “Bottles & Can’s” would hit the net-soul radio stations, the album’s turnout was more natural and genuine than ever before. Mahogany Soul is certified gold in both the UK and the United States, originally peaking at #4 on the US R&B/Soul charts.
