It's Stone love. :-)
Joss Stone (born Joscelyn Stoker) is the most exciting blue-eyed soul sister to come out of Britain since Christine McVie. A child prodigy of sorts who was inspired by Dusty Springfield and Aretha Franklin, she released her debut album, The Soul Sessions, in 2003 at the age of sixteen and impressed everyone with her mature, soulful R&B vocal style. Her followup album, 2004's Mind, Body,and Soul was just as well received.
Along with her successes at home, Joss Stone has had good fortune in the States as well, with her third album, 2007's Introducing Joss Stone (so titled because she thought it marked her true debut as her own woman and her own artist), debuted at number two on the Billboard album charts, the second highest chart entrance for any British female recording artist. She's won three Grammys (including one for a collaboration with John Legend and Van Hunt). and received nominations for four more.
Her songs include "Right To Be Wrong" and "You Had Me," as well as the recontextualizing of the White Stripes's rocker "Fell In Love With a Girl" as the soul tune "Fell In Love With a Boy." She also released a fourth album, Colour Me Free.
