Joss Stone has so much soul that you sometimes can not believe that she is only 20 years old. This 20 year old has already had much success in England where she was born and raised. Joss Stone has one of those voices that was made for soul music. She told MTV news, “I kind of clicked into soul music more than anything else because of the vocals. You’ve got to have good vocals to sing soul music and I always liked it ever since I was little”.
And good vocals is what this woman has. Her voice will blow you away when she begins to sing. It is so mature and powerful. When Joss sings a song, you can hear the passion in her voice. With influences like, Gladys Knight Betty Wright, James Brown and Aretha Franklin Joss realized that she wanted to be much like her idols.
Joss Stone has sold over 10 million albums worldwide and is even a Grammy Award Winner. Her latest and third alum, “Introducing Joss Stone”, Joss decided to go with a different approach. She wanted this album to be more of a reflection of her, (compare to her last albums). Joss even changed her appearance and recruited musical genius, Raphael Sadiaqq to produce much of the album. The songs are much more “edgier”. Stone also has featured appearances from Common and Lauryn Hill.
Introducing Joss Stone is in stores now.
