Mind Body & Soul by Joss Stone

Pros: Lyrics, music, and oh yes Joss Stone’s beautiful, sultry, spirit-laden.

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: Mind, Body & Soul is a soulful sophomoric release for Joss Stone. R&B lives within this young lady from Devon England and I for one am glad it does.

Review: One of my favorite genres of music Rhythm & Blues (R&B) is going through a revival of sorts. When I was going through my teens in the 70’s, groups like The Commodores, Ohio Players, and my beloved Earth, Wind & Fire—a group I still ...

Pros: Great voice doing something different, some excellent songs

Cons: A few songs sound alike, the hidden track is personal but a little overwrought

The Bottom Line: Joss Stone is a singer gaining momentum and by the time she reaches her third album she will be unavoidable. She has lots of talent and a big future

Review: Joss Stone just might have been one of the most surprising artists in 2003. While her other good-looking, blonde hair blue eye contemporaries were lining up to fall in their perspective niches or categories Joss Stone bucked the sorting system and came ...

Pros: finally co-writes, awesomely mature vocals, gorgeous production, some real soul

Cons: long winded, could turn off fans of her debut, not much lyrical substance

The Bottom Line: Soul is in the eye of the beholder.

Review: Despite what some people say to the contrary, teenagers don’t get any respect in most fields one can think of. Either they’re considered to be poor decision makers, they’re told they don’t have enough life experience to know about anything or they’re ...

Pros: Joss's talent is still there, the songs are catchy, soulful, and have substance

Cons: it's too much like every other R&B release

The Bottom Line: I recommend this album because it's some of the best R&B music to come out recently.

Review: On her debut album, THE SOUL SESSIONS, British teen Joss Stone recorded an album of scorching R&B classics. On her follow up "MIND, BODY, & SOUL", she retreats to the same formulaic contemporary R&B that she was originally an alternative to. I ...

Pros: Stone's voice and individuality; LP offers good a variety

Cons: No major cons... additional tracks maybe.

The Bottom Line: Stone is surely a talent that can only expand and offer the music world some of the substance it's missing.

Review: S-Curve Records releases Joss Stone’s "sophomore" album Mind, Body, & Soul after her surpassing debut cover The Soul Sessions. The LP is slated with esteemed production contributions, Stone's co-written lyrics, and an undefined ...

Pros: A lot of understatement, good lyrics, beautiful melodies, good flow of the album

Cons: Her voice could still be better used, too much similarity in instruments

The Bottom Line: A very good investment in soul enrichment

Review: My initial reaction to the whole 'Joss Stone hype' was sceptism (as is always with any new 'movement'). But I really couldn't deny her unique and authentic take on the White Stripes 'Fell In Love With A Boy'. The follow up single 'Supa Dupa Love' grew ...

Pros: The girl can sing. And "Less is More" is the hotness.

Cons: Do not operate machinery when parts of this album are playing. May cause drowsiness.

The Bottom Line: Better-than-average voice. Less-than-average material at times. Yeah, I guess it works out to be a total average experience. Recommended with caution.

Review: You can definitely say that Joss Stone is an anomaly. How many 17 year old British girls would have the balls to tackle an Aretha song? Her debut EP, "The Soul Sessions" was a left-field success, selling 3/4 of a million copies with no radio play. The ...

Pros: first half is excellent; her soulful voice; songwriting's not half-bad

Cons: loses momentum fast; fillers; the usual 'neo-soul' album

The Bottom Line: ...

Review: Joss Stone is one of those young artists that you watch for because of her very soulful voice. I knew this girl had something when I woke up one morning hearing Fell In Love With A Boy. She released a cover album that was somewhat-successful. So ...

Pros: Right To Be Wrong, You Had Me, a couple of other great tracks.

Cons: A little unbalanced. Not a lot of replayability. More could be done with this voice.

The Bottom Line: Great voice, mediocre album.

Review: This is the first entry into my Bro ken Format W/O. This review will be written in the form of a letter to the artist. Dear Ms Stone, Firstly, my apologies. When you first came onto the music scene in early ...
