Mahogany Soul

Mahogany Soul is the second studio album by American singer Angie Stone. It was first released in the United States on October 16, 2001, by J Records. Conceived after her departure from Arista, the transition allowed Stone to exert more artistic control over the album for which she enlisted a variety of producers and songwriters, including Raphael Saadiq, Warryn Campbell, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Chucky Thompson, Swizz Beatz, and others, though she co-wrote or produced on most of the material herself. The album received generally positive reviews by music critics, some of whom would call it a defining moment of the neo soul movement of the early 2000s as well as Stone's masterpiece in the years after. It debuted and peaked at number 22 on the Billboard 200, reaching Gold status in the United States, and entered the top ten in Finland and the top 20 in Belgium and the Netherlands, becoming the singer's highest-charting international success. By 2004, the album has sold more than a million copies worldwide.
