Farewell to Angie Stone’s Life Celebrated in Atlanta & South Carolina with Star-Studded Memorials

HonkMagazine

The music world is preparing to say goodbye to a true legend. Angie Stone, a beloved figure in the neo-soul genre, will be honored with two memorial services that will celebrate her life, artistry, and lasting impact on R&B music. The first service is scheduled for Friday, March 14, in Atlanta, followed by a more personal ceremony in her hometown of Columbia, South Carolina, the next day. Angie Stone’s influence reached far and wide. She was a talented singer and a storyteller who inspired many artists with her powerful voice.

A number of well known figures from the music industry are expected to come together to pay their respects, including Tyler Perry, Kirk Franklin, Anthony Hamilton, Keke Wyatt, Tamela Mann, Y’Anna Crawley, Musiq Soulchild, Q. Parker, and Stout. Their presence will ensure that both memorials are filled with music, love, and heartfelt memories. The Atlanta service will be a public tribute, allowing fans and fellow artists to reflect on her legacy. The gathering in Columbia will be smaller and more intimate, reserved for her closest family and friends, those who knew her not just as a star but as a person who loved music and the people in her life. Angie Stone tragically passed away last weekend in a car accident after leaving a performance in Montgomery County, Alabama.

While others in the car survived, the loss of such an iconic artist has left a deep wound in the music community. Her voice was one of a kind, her songs are timeless, and her impact on the industry will never be forgotten. Whether through hits like “No More Rain (In This Cloud)” or her exciting collaborations that shaped R&B, Angie Stone will always be regarded as a key figure in music. As friends, family, and fans gather to celebrate her life, Angie Stone’s music and spirit will live on and continue to inspire soul lovers for years to come. Rest in peace, Angie. Though your voice may be silent now, your music will always resonate.

Jonathan Zogbi reaches new heights with new release “Sky High”

Jonathan Zogbi

Jonathan Zogbi’s latest release, “Sky High,” is a turning point in his career as a musician. It turns personal problems into a message of hope and growth. The track has a catchy beat and a modern, sleek production style, but it also has a deeper meaning and purpose.

“Sky High” draws on modern pop music and gives it a spiritual boost. The production is bright, which makes it easy to get into, but it doesn’t take away from the song’s emotional core. On the other hand, Zogbi walks a fine line between being popular and telling a good story.

The story behind this release is what makes it so cool. After getting a diagnosis that changed his life, Zogbi left his job as an engineer and turned inward, eventually turning to music. This started as a personal outlet, but it has clearly grown into something more purposeful: a place for realness, connection, and art rooted in a message. Jonathan Zogbi’s new song “Sky High” is also a statement about an artistic path defined by purpose, showing that you can rise even when things are tough.

Knux Burgandy rejects being average on new release “Mediocre”

Honk Magazine Default

Knux Burgandy’s new single, “Mediocre,” sounds more like a personal statement than a song. The Boston producer-artist is all in on pain rap, and the song hits hard and with purpose. It’s based on raw feelings, sharpened by what you’ve been through.

“Mediocre” is a hard-hitting trap record, but what really sets it apart is its heart. Burgandy doesn’t just rap, he also talks about how he feels, thinks, and fights against settling for less. It’s easy to chant the hook, and it stays in your head after just one listen. The message, on the other hand, lasts a lot longer, no matter what happens, don’t settle for an average life.

Knux Burgandy is becoming well-known in a way that seems real and important. His community is increasingly supporting him, and he is clearly dedicated to his work. The word “mediocre” isn’t just a word, it’s a reminder that being average was never the goal.
