Joss Stone - “Mind, Body and Soul”

General Description
Artist/Band: Joss Stone
Album Title: Mind, Body and Soul
Year: 2004

This young lady has a voice.
 
How I Got Into This Music
Well.. Not really, I noticed the hype around this lass when the “Soul Sessions“ album and after hearing her voice I really had to agree with the compliments concerning hear vocal qualities. Now, her first real solo album has come out and I thought I’d give it a listen.

Tracks that got my attention:

Right To Be Wrong
Hmm.. Scary, imagine this voice with a layer of alcohol and cigarette experience: even better!

You Had Me
Current single: annoying the living hell out of me, also because of the overkill airplay 

Spoiled 
Nice song, nice vocals

Understand 
Again, great vocals
  

Conclusion
Joss Stone is a natural, an unbelievably talented vocalist that will keep amazing people with the fact that she’s an 17 year old, white girl from England. The problem? Well, for such a deep, warm and emotional voice, the whole album just seems to be lacking of just those things: there is nothing of what you’d want to hear that voice to bring to your ears, just a slickly produced collection of almost generic songs. The album’s crap, but her talent is something I will be monitoring for the coming years. 

Rating: ★½☆☆☆ (and a bit)
