"I have a new television show in the works, and that is all I can say right now"
About this Quote
Celebrity silence is its own kind of press release, and Angie Stone plays it like a hook you can’t stop replaying. “I have a new television show in the works, and that is all I can say right now” is a statement built less to inform than to calibrate attention: enough detail to signal momentum, not enough to satisfy curiosity. The phrase “in the works” does crucial labor here. It frames the project as active and inevitable, even if contracts, pilots, or networks are still unresolved. It lets Stone project forward motion without risking a headline that later becomes a “canceled” story.
The second clause is where the real music is: “that is all I can say right now.” It’s a boundary dressed up as an invitation. The “right now” implies a future reveal, a coming moment when she’ll be allowed - or choose - to speak. It also quietly acknowledges how entertainment deals operate: NDAs, negotiations, branding strategies, the whole machinery that turns a creative idea into something a platform can sell.
For a musician like Stone, TV isn’t just a side quest; it’s a career hedge and an expansion of narrative control. Artists from R&B’s era of radio dominance have had to translate legacy into visibility across new channels, where relevance is measured in formats as much as albums. The quote’s intent is simple - plant the flag - but the subtext is sharper: I’m still moving, still being courted, and you’ll hear about it on my timeline, not yours.
