In the early 1980s, Stone (as 'Angie B'), was a member of The Sequence, the first major female hip-hop group. They had a hit in 1980 with "Funk You Up". She then worked with Mantronix, before teaming up and performing vocals and saxophone for Lenny Kravitz.
Angie Stone emerged during the 1990's as part of hip-hop/R&B trio Vertical Hold which released the popular single "Seems You're Much Too Busy" as well as two albums: A Matter Of Time (June 1993) and Head First (1995).
In 1996, she teamed up with Gerry Deveaux (Lenny Kravitz's cousin from The Bahamas) and together with Charlie Mole they formed Devox. One album received a Japanese-only release including Stone-penned or co-written material.
Angie Stone shared song-writing credits on D'Angelo's first two studio album's (1995 - Brown Sugar and 2000 - Voodoo) as well as providing backing vocals on tour with him.
She released her first solo album, Black Diamond, released on 28 September 1999 via Arista Records. She has since also released, via Clive Davis' J Records, Mahogany Soul on October 16, 2001 and Stone Love on July 6, 2004.
Much of Angie Stone's solo material has a significant hip-hop influence and features notable samples. For example, her first solo single, 1999's "No More Rain (In This Cloud)" samples Gladys Knight & the Pips' 1972 "Neither One Of Us (Want To Be The First To Say Goodbye)", and 2002 "Wish I Didn't Miss You" samples The O'Jays' 1972 "Back Stabbers".
Angie Stone sings the theme song for the UPN sitcom Girlfriends.
She has two children, a daughter and a son. The son is the child of neo-soul singer D'Angelo, whom she dated during the 1990's.

Here We Go Again
Angie Stone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So with love, my best regards
I'm giving you the time and the space
Yes, you need just a little more faith
If you're gonna grow, then you need to know
When it's time to just let go
Cause life is too short to be pretend
We're in the beginning when it's the end
Oh oh, here we go again
Trying to make it right
When it don't make sense, no
Oh oh, here we go a-gain
Trying to make it right
When it don't make sense, no
Now we're both knowing what the problem is
Instead of letting go, trying to make it fit
Making a fool out of love
Ending up in the same predicament
If we're gonna grow, then we need to know
When it's time to just let go
Life is too short to pretend
We're in the beginning when it's the end
Oh oh, here we go a-gain
Trying to make it right
When it don't make sense, no
Oh oh, here we go a-gain
Trying to make it right
When it don't make sense, no
I trusted you with everything
Gave you my all to make you stay
You took, but never understood my pain
Now I gotta leave you
Love I'm on my way
Oh oh, here we go a-gain
Trying to make it right
When it don't make sense, no
Oh oh, here we go a-gain
Trying to make it right
When it don't make sense, no
Time to let it go now
Wherever we would go from here
I'm praying
Sweet blessings
Nothing but joy, happiness
Baby don't regret it
It's all good
Said we learned so much from each other
"Here We Go Again" by Angie Stone is a song about a couple who have been attempting to fix their relationship, but despite their efforts, it seems like they are back to square one. The first verse talks about the journey they’ve traveled together and how the singer is willing to give the other person some space and time to figure things out on their own. The lyrics emphasize the importance of having faith and knowing when it's time to let go. The chorus is a repeated line of the song and highlights how they have been trying to make things right, but it doesn't make sense to start over again.
The second verse talks about how they both know what their problem is, but instead of letting go, they try to make it work. The lyrics suggest that they are making a fool out of love and ending up in the same predicament. Again, the importance of letting go is emphasized. The third verse is a more personal one. The singer has trusted their partner with everything but feels like they have been taken for granted. The lyrics suggest that it's time to leave and move on. The bridge of the song talks about the need to let go. The song ends on a high note, with the singer wishing the other person luck and expressing gratitude for the lessons learned.

Ending up in the same predicament
We keep ending up in the same situation and not making progress
I trusted you with everything
I trusted you completely with my heart and my love

You took, but never understood my pain
You took everything I had to offer, but never understood how much you were hurting me
Now I gotta leave you
It's time for me to walk away from this relationship
Love I'm on my way
I'm leaving with love in my heart
Time to let it go now
It's time to let go of this relationship
Wherever we would go from here
Whatever happens next in our lives
I'm praying
I'm hoping and wishing for the best
Sweet blessings
I hope only good things come your way
Nothing but joy, happiness
I hope you find nothing but joy and happiness in the future

Don't have any regrets about our relationship
It's all good
Everything will work out in the end
Said we learned so much from each other
We learned a lot from our time together, even if it didn't work out
