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.

U Make My Sun Shine
"U Make My Sun Shine" is a song by Prince, released on April 10, 2001. The ballad is a duet with guest vocalist Angie Stone, and along with the B-side was reportedly one of the tracks from Prince's canceled ''High'' album. "When Will We B Paid?" is a cover version of the 1969 song by the Staple Singers, originally titled "When Will We Be Paid". While the Staple Singers' version is somewhat upbeat musically, Prince's take is a sparse number with lyrics delivered with sadness and anger. The music is almost dirge-like, but features a searing guitar solo to further emphasize the anger. The song concerns the mistreatment and lack of appreciation for black people in the United States.
