“Wish I Didn't Miss You” – Angie Stone “Wish I Didn't Miss You” Artist: Angie Stone Album: Mahogany Soul Genre: Neo-Soul / R&B Year: 2001 Listen on Spotify: “Wish I Didn't Miss You” is the crown jewel of Angie Stone’s 2001 album Mahogany Soul and one of the defining neo-soul singles of the early 2000s.
