Joss Stone Preps Third Album
by admin ·
British soul singer Joss Stone is preparing to release her third album, Introducing Joss Stone, on March 10. The set from the 19 year-old phenom comes about as a result of Stone’s growing self-awareness.
“This is the first album I’ve made that is truly me,” she says. “That’s why I’m calling it Introducing Joss Stone. These are my words, and this is who I am as an artist.”
Written primarily in the former British colony of Barbados, the set features production from Stone’s main collaborator Raphael Saadiq who then helped record the set in the Bahamas.
“Musically, I feel like he [Saadiq] reads my mind,” Stone continued. “I’ll give him a look and he’ll know exactly what I want.”
Stone’s previous two albums have sold more than 7.5 million albums worldwide. The Grammy-nominated singer was recently nominated again in the category of Best R&B Performance By A Duo or Group for her part in a cover Sly Stone’s “Family Affair” along with John Legend and Van Hunt. Introducing Joss Stone will be released via Virgin Records.

I look forward to her album release. She is unrated! I have not her a voice so fresh and raw in years.
