New Good Song: Backup Plan by Angie Stone

Here's a new good song -- "Backup Plan" by Angie Stone

"Backup Plan" is a retro, upbeat, tongue-in-check R&B song that could have been a Top 10 hit 15 yeasr ago but will certainly be completely ignored in 2012. It sounds like something you would have been excited to hear at the skating rink. It's not revolutionary, or even current, but it's very smooth, nicely executed, and makes you move a little.

Stone is a pretty non-comformist, slightly arrogant R&B purist whose main objective seems to be to keep it real, yo. She also looks amazing for her age, I might add. To look at this airbrushed (or animated?) MP3 art, you'd think she was 36, but the woman is 50. Her best song remains "Wish I Didn't Miss You," but "Backup Plan" is perfectly pleasant.

Enjoy!
