I must admit that I probably would never have even looked twice at this album were it not for Amy Winehouse's Back to Black and the comparisons drawn between this, that and some others (notably Lily Allen's pitiful attempt). And yet, here I am, pleasantly surprised by this artist that I don't know much about. She has thick vocal range with deep soul and feel and I am genuinely pleased with the sound she pulls off. I will check out her other works for sure. All the songs are at least good, but the standout is, by far, "Tell Me What We're Gonna Do Now". I haven't heard such sweet soul since Gladys Knight belted out "Midnight Train to Georgia" or Etta James crooned "At Last". I AM IMPRESSED!!!!! Love the album. Highly recommended.
I love Joss Stone's voice and her combination of jazz, blues and pop, which is why I bought her newest album without even listening to it. I like it, but it has a completely different vibe then the first two. It is very hip hop and pop and she has apparently thrown the blues ballads that I appreciated so much out the window. This is a good dance CD, but not one to jam out to for singing practice, like the other two. Also the lyrics are a bit superficial and weak- her first album that she wrote songs for was deep and fantastic- this one is a bit too pop for my style.
The opening oration is pretentious, self-important, and self-contradictory. The album then launches into a series of songs where Joss effectively sings backup to the bass and drum lines. And they aren't even very creative or musical bass and drum lines. Whoever composed them did a workmanlike job, and it shows. It isn't until the 11th track, "Bruised But Not Broken", that the music takes the background and one can start to appreciate the talent of her voice. The last 4 tracks allow the nuances of her voice to be heard. It is a pity the rest of the album didn't consider that a goal as well.
My 3rd Cd from this artist. I really enjoy her music. Sort of a modern soul/ R&B style. Besides my personal listening pleasure, I used this as the background music in bridal shower I recently had. Has great personality and soul for a party!
She is Hot and has a powerful soulful voice that really expresses the words of each song. This is an incredible Cd and if it wasn't for this first one I wouldn't of known how powerful of a singer she really is. I am buying more of her CD's.
