Joss stone - The Soul Sessions (2003) Relentless-S Curve - Soul (FLAC)+ Booklet

One of the most unlikely Soulful voices to come out of the UK is Devon born Joss Stone. She joins Dusty Springfield & Amy Winehouse in the minority club of white English Soul singers that were born with a wonderful unique set of vocal chords that turned the heads of lovers of Soulful music. Grammy & Brit Award-winning singer-songwriter Joss Stone is without question among the most iconic soul singers of the modern era, with a remarkable career that now spans two decades.  Here is her Debut album,long overdue for posting on the blog.
Joscelyn Eve Stoker was born in 1987, known professionally as Joss Stone, she also is a songwriter and actress. She rose to fame in late 2003 with her multi-platinum debut album, "The Soul Sessions"(FEATURED HERE), which made the 2004 Mercury Prize shortlist. Her second album, the similarly multi-platinum "Mind Body & Soul" (2004), topped the UK Albums Chart and spawned the top ten hit "You Had Me", Stone's most successful single on the UK Singles Chart to date. Both the album and single received one nomination at the 2005 Grammy Awards, while Stone herself was nominated for Best New Artist, and in an annual BBC poll of music critics, Sound of 2004,was ranked fifth as a predicted breakthrough act of 2004. She became the youngest British female singer to top the UK Albums Chart. Stone's third album, "Introducing Joss Stone", released in March 2007, achieved gold record status by the RIAA and yielded the second-ever highest debut for a British female solo artist on the Billboard 200, and became Stone's first top five album in the US. She released her fourth album, "Colour Me Free!", in 2009, which reached the top 10 on Billboard. Stone released her fifth album, "LP1", in 2011, which reached the top 10 on Billboard. Throughout her career, Stone has sold 15 million records worldwide, establishing herself as one of the best-selling soul artists of the 2000s, and the best-selling British artists of her time. Her first three albums have sold over 2,722,000 copies in the US, while her first two albums have sold over 2 million copies in the UK. Stone has earned several awards including two Brit Awards and one Grammy Award out of five nominations. She made her film acting debut in 2006 with the fantasy adventure film" Eragon", and made her television debut portraying Anne of Cleves in the Showtime series "The Tudors" in 2009. Stone was the youngest woman on the 2006 Sunday Times Rich List,an annual list of the UK's wealthiest people,with £6 million. In 2012, her net worth was estimated to be £10 million, making her the fifth richest British musician under 30.
