In the late 1990s , Arista Records then A&R manager Peter Edge brought Stone to label head Clive Davis 's attention . He offered her a solo recording contract with the label and in September 1999 , her debut solo album , '' Black Diamond '' , was released . Named after her then-teenage daughter Diamond Ti'ara , it was released to positive reviews from music critics , and reached the top ten on '' Billboard '' s US Top R&B / Hip-Hop Albums chart . '' Black Diamond '' was eventually certified gold by both the Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ) and the British Phonographic Industry ( BPI ) and spawned the Adult R&B Songs number-one hit " No More Rain ( In This Cloud ) " . The single earned Stone two nominations at the 2000 Soul Train Music Awards
