R&B Singer Angie Stone Releases New Single, “Do What U Gotta Do” | Album Coming in Sept. 2012

 

Atlanta,
GA (May 29, 2012) — In a triumphant return to her trademark neo-soul,
Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Angie Stone releases a new single
this week, “Do What U Gotta Do,” kicking it off with a party in Los
Angeles sponsored by legendary R&B radio station KJLH.  The first
track off of Stone’s upcoming album, Rich Girl, (due September 25^th on SRR Records), “Do What U Gotta Do” is seductive mix of groove, guitars and an irresistible sing-along chorus.

 

Written
specifically for Angie by Y’anna Crawley (winner of BET talent
competition Sunday Best), the empowering “Do What U Gotta Do” sets the
tone for the entire Rich Girl album.  “It jump-started my
brain,” says Stone, “I was excited and gave me a whole new outlook on
what I was doing. It started the record both literally and
inspirationally.”  The strong lyrics resonated deeply with Stone, who
explains, “It was telling me to keep my head up, saying ‘you can make it
and do what you gotta do,’ giving me the beginning of the new album and
the resolve to make it into something beyond anything I had ever done
before.”

 

Angie Stone has been nominated for
three Grammy Awards, two Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards, and has
released four Top 10 R&B albums (with her The Art of Love & War going
all the way to number one).  An acclaimed songwriter, her work has been
recorded by Alicia Keys, Erykah Badu, Raphael Saadiq, Musiq (Soulchild)
and many more.
