Liner Note Author: Angie Stone. Recording information: Speights House Studios, Atlanta, GA; Studiohouse North, Deale, MD; Unsung STudios, Sherman Oaks, CA. Photographer: Kevin Goolsby. Those who have found something to enjoy in each one of Angie Stone's albums might be confused by the singer's liner notes for Rich Girl, the singer's first album for Saguaro Road. She alludes to having done too much collaborative work in the recent past, declaring "I shaved a lot of my originality off when merging with so many other people." Her outside projects haven't been all that numerous, and she is joined here by around two dozen fellow songwriters and roughly half as many co-producers. On one hand, who's to argue with an artist who says her new work is more herself than the material from her recent past? On the other, this album doesn't offer as many high points as her two previous Stax albums, and it's as scattered quality-wise as it is stylistically diverse. Stone's beaming, easygoing nature and typically excellent vocals save the majority of the substandard material. Some fans will be dismayed by the shortage of throwbacks to classic soul, but "U Lit My Fire" is a knockout, one that begins with a sly Taana Gardner fake-out before settling into one of her most seductive numbers. If Stone really wanted to get back to basics, she could have made a whole album with the terminally undervalued Mike City. His smacking but smoothened grooves are a great fit, heard on the synthesizer-laced disco funk of "Backup Plan" and the stout hip-hop bounce of "Right in Front of Me" (the latter something like Donell Jones' "Spend the Night" on weight gainer). ~ Andy Kellman

3年ぶりとなるアンジー・ストーンの新作は、スタックスを離れて準メジャーから。これまで裏方のフックアップばかりして自分自身のことは疎かだったかも……と我に返って自分らしく振る舞ったせいなのか、先行曲“Do WhatU Gotta Do”をはじめ、気取らず気張らずの歌唱で母性溢れるタフなアンジー節を深いグルーヴに溶け込ませていく様に劇的な変化こそないものの、聴き手との距離はいつも以上に近い。やっぱり面倒見のいい姐御ぶりを発揮して起用した複数の新鋭による楽曲も素朴で温か。一方で、マイク・シティ製のシック風ディスコ・ダンサーや旧知のCo-Tによるモータウン調ビート曲がもたらす華やぎもまた良し。トゥイートらを招いた女性競演曲で飾る優雅なラストにもウットリな充実作だ。
