Joss Stone

Thursday, September 6, 2007 • 7:30 p.m.

Joss Stone has sold more than 7.5 million albums worldwide; been nominated for four Grammy Awards; appeared onstage with James Brown, The Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Patti Labelle, Mavis Staples, Donna Summer and Smokey Robinson; sat for an interview with Oprah Winfrey; starred in two major ad campaigns for the Gap; and performed for more than 200,000 people at the 2005 Live 8 Concert in London—all before the ripe age of 19.

Only now, on her third album, Introducing Joss Stone, does the British soul singer and songwriter feel she is expressing her true musical vision. The album is an electrifying mix of warm vintage soul, '70s-style R&B, Motown girl-group harmonies and jazzy grooves.

In 2003, Stone released The Soul Sessions, an album of covers and obscure soul tracks, hit the road for a year, then recorded 2004's Mind, Body & Soul, her first album of original material.

Critics have called her a singer who possesses a "rich, deep, soulfull belt," as the New York Post put it, and "unlike any singer of her generation."
