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, AllMusic Review

 

 

"Rich Girl" oferuje nam wyważony mix szybszych, zahaczających o funk numerów z klasycznymi neo-soulowymi balladami. SOUL w pełnym tego słowa znaczeniu, przywołujący na myśl złote lata 70. Nie znajdziemy tu zaskakujących eksperymentów, celujących w zdobycie kapryśnej, mainstreamowej publiki, brak też wpływów hip-hopu w postaci samplowanych bitów i gościnnych zwrotek. Co ciekawe, jedynym wymienionym na trackliście gościem jest Malcolm-Jamal Warner – tak, tak, dobrze kojarzycie – słynny Theo Huxtable z "The Cosby Show". Obdarzony niskim głosem Malcolm wykonuje napisany przez siebie, minutowy spoken word, stanowiący klimatyczny przerywnik między utworami.

Pełno natomiast na "Rich Girl" żywych instrumentów: płynących basów, subtelnych klawiszy i gitar oraz okazjonalnych, dopełniających i odświeżających brzmienie syntezatorów. Do tego dochodzą klasyczne, niewybijające się na pierwszy plan a nadające odpowiedni vibe bębny i hand-clapy. To płyta świetnie, profesjonalnie wyprodukowana, zaaranżowana i zmiksowana – ta muzyka żyje, rozbrzmiewa, a wspierana przez chórki różnych mniej lub bardziej (pamiętacie Tweet?) znanych wokalistek Angie czuje się tu jak przysłowiowa "ryba w wodzie". Jeśli szukacie dojrzałego, eleganckiego soulu, który wywoła uśmiech na waszych twarzach oraz umili wam odpoczynek po ciężkim dniu, bądź też da porządny zastrzyk pozytywnej energii, trafiliście idealnie. Dobra robota, Pani Stone! --- Marcin Natali, popkiller.pl
