Let's celebrate Black History Month with another contest! Angie Stone released her new album on October 16, 2007 and there's no better giveaway to honor Black History Month with then this record. The Art of Love and War was released on the label Stax which you may recognize as being the label for Otis Redding, The Emotions and Luther Ingram (just to name a few). Of course, Concord Records, owns them now, but they have carried on the same great music.

Angie Stone feels this is her best album yet. Stone exclaims, "This is a reflection of where I am both mentally and spiritually and what I feel I've attained at this point in my life." Wiht that kind of intensity and passion put into music you just know it has to be good. Stone's previous work earned her the reputation of a modern-day Aretha; talk about getting a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T, to be compared to someone so great!

Her music is sweet and, for me, quite inspirational. The lyrics give a fresh perspective of how we should look out our lives and feel good about it. This is the type of music which could be classified as timeless and listened to for years to come. This seems to be what Stone was going for, "I think my personal favorite is 'Happy Being Me,' Stone points out. "I guess that title gives you a clue about how I'm feeling right now."
