Inspired by Aretha Franklin’s ‘Greatest Hits’, Stone began her rise to stardom in 2001 at the age of 14; she won the Star for a Night talent show on BBC, before signing to S-Curve Records and releasing her multi-platinum and critically acclaimed debut album ‘The Soul Sessions’ in 2003. Miss Stone won the Capital FM accolade of London’s Favourite UK Album with the release of ‘Mind, Body & Soul’ a year later, which featured the hit single ‘You Had Me”, charting at number nine in the UK.
Between the years of 2007 and 2009, Stone released two more albums - ‘Introducing Joss Stone’ and ‘Colour Me Free!’ - before starting up her own record label - Stone’d Records - in 2010 and releasing the album ‘LP1’ on her own label. The vintage soul-artist then recorded an album with SuperHeavy, a supergroup consisting of Mick Jagger, Damien Marley and A.R. Rahman, before releasing ‘The Soul Sessions Vol 2’ in 2012.
Stone has utilized her musical talents for various campaigns, such as the Save the Music Foundation in 2004, where she performed along the likes of Jessica Simpson and Ashanti, and Band Aid 20, recording alongside Coldplay vocalist Chris Martin and U2 singer Bono. Stone also lead a campaign for Hear The World, which focused on raising an awareness for the victims of hearing loss, and was the first non-model to feature as the Flake girl for Cadbury Schweppes in 2008.
A worldwide superstar, Joss Stone has performed at reputable events such as the Live 8 Concert in 2005 and the Best of Blues Festival in 2014, highlighting the huge following she has maintained since her early teenage years.
The set began with a roar from a barely visible Joss Stone hidden behind the wild flashing of lights. She walked out on to the stage before singing an address to the audience. ‘How are you?’ she screamed in her powerful, bluesy and soulful voice before dropping straight into ‘Power to the People’. The band were upbeat and funky and her voice is breathtaking. The bass dropping into some amazing funky riffs whilst the saxophonist would often step forward and steal the lime light with a rip roaring solo. The vibe was amazing with the people in the audience singing and dancing.
Its strange to hear Joss speak between songs; her singing voice is so powerful and confident and it was quite a shock to hear her drop in to a strong English accent as she spoke to and thanked the audience. She clearly loves performing and is wonderful whilst she sings and embraces each and every song. She seems to lack the confidence to chat and banter with the audience between songs and often the chit-chat was largely made up of pleasantries.
She performed all her big hits including Super Duper Love, You Had Me, Fell In Love With A Boy as well as a number of new tracks . She performed brilliantly throughout and this was an exciting, funky and well rehearsed show.
She has one of the most unique and powerful voices in music and I look forward to seeing her retain her star status. On this performance I have no doubt she will.
