This wasn't supposed to be the
world's first taste of Joss Stone. We just got lucky.
As Joss was preparing to record what was supposed to
be her debut album, she was introduced to some of
the legends whose classic records she loved: The "Clean
Up Woman," Miss Betty Wright, Timmy "Why Can't We
Live Together" Thomas, Willie "Little Beaver" Hale,
and Latimore, whose single "Let's Straighten It Out"
still ranks as a peak of sultry '70's soul.
Release dates to be damned, Joss put her own songs
on hold in favor of spending some time in the studio
with those architects of the Miami Soul sound. From
there she ended up in Philadelphia with the
masterminds of
contemporary soul and R&B, The Roots. What started
out as a side project
grew into an obsession for everyone involved.
Completed in only four days, The Soul Sessions is a
collection of classics and little-known soul gems
alongside some contemporary tracks re-interpreted by
Joss and her titanic band of accomplices. We're
unveiling her spine-bending take on "Chokin' Kind"
to introduce you to her extraordinary voice, but to
see just how far she can push a song, hold your
breath until you hear her cover of 'The White
Stripes' "Fell In Love With A Boy."
The Soul Sessions will be released on September 16,
2003. While you're soul-deep in that disc, Joss will
be back at work writing and recording her "other"
first album. Later than we expected, but well worth
the delay, that "official" debut CD is due in your
stereo by early 2004. |
