I noticed she doesn't really breathe.. It's like she sings a line, then the next, then the next, without really giving enough space to the musicians/background vocalists. But other than that, she's very talented. I'm tempted to check this album out. I might, or might not. TMBI is kind of catchy. I wouldn't say it's very representative of the album, but it's a solid album. Are you familiar with her previous album?

Billboard.com:
Joss Stone's third album, "Introducing Joss Stone" (Virgin), enters at No. 2, moving 118,000 units, also a career best for charting and sales. Stone's last album, 2004's "Mind, Body & Soul" peaked at No. 11.

That's interesting because I don't know if it's that she doesn't breathe or not, but I have noticed the way she sings is good but it's certainly unique and a different approach to singing.

"Baby, Baby, Baby" grew on me ALOT. Same with "Arms Of My Baby"... I love the end of the songs where she sings her a$$ off.
"Put Your hands On Me" "Headturner" "Tell me 'Bout It" "music" and "bad habit" are still my favs though. "What Were We thinking" is also very beautiful.

Arms Of My Baby and her collabo with Common are my shit. Gotta love 'em. Music is a bit disappointing only because it's a Lauryn duet, but it's still good.

I think TELL ME WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO NOW is one of Joss's best songs yet...it's a perfect pop-rap collaboration :)

Joss slams Christina Milian!!! :o
While Stone had some harsh criticism for today’s crop of R&B singers, her most scathing words were saved specifically for singer-actress Christina Milian, who just so happens to be the ex-girlfriend of her ex-boyfriend, Beau Dozier.
Stone describes most singers today as “just highly paid strippers.” When told she may have just insulted a large swath of singers, she cocked her head to the side, flashed an innocent smile and said, “What? It’s not like I’m not telling the truth.”
When Christina Milian’s name came up in conversation, Stone, according to writer Aliya S. King, “doesn’t bother to hide her disdain for the woman who Dozier, now Stone’s ex-boyfriend, once dated.”
Stone told King: "I could tell you some stories about her... ," then launched into a “profanity-laced tirade against the pop star.”
King writes: “After I point to my tape recorder, reminding her that she's on record, Stone doesn't quit. Instead, she continues to go off on Milian and, even worse, Milian's mother. ‘I’m just honest,’ Stone concludes with a shrug.”
"Christina has never met Joss," Milan’s publicist responds. "She can’t imagine what this is all about."

The album is ok.... it sounds very similar to her previous work. I don't see how she's "introducing" herself. I was hoping she'd update her style... she's too young to be singing this old school style. I was expecting the album to use her voice to do something fresh... kind of like how Kelly Clarkson took her voice and put it to more pop-rock tracks such as Since U Been Gone and Because of You. I thought she might take it more in a pop or rock or maybe even dance direction instead of old school R&B / jazz (whcih she was already doing). The album is good, but predictable. I guess I was led to believe that she was going to come up with something completely new. If she doesn't change her style, she may fade away. Many artists who stick to one style often do. The more successful ones re-invent themselves with the times (Madonna, Mariah).

#1 on the United World Chart, 191 000 copies sold this week. She must be around 220k worldwide now.

^Wow, the world loves her!
I can see this easily passsing her debut of 2 million, but it might be hard to pass her 2nd album.

MIND,BODY&SOUL is around 3 million sold :) p.s:lol@a Christina Milian fan thinking about buying Joss's album before reading about what Joss SUPPOSEDLY said about Milian and then not thinking about buying it anymore...typical!

Christina posted that Joss called her and apologized. I wonder how much of this true, if at all.

I've never paid much attention to Joss Stone before, but after hearing the first single, I really want to check this new album out.
On a side note, I think she looks better than ever with the red/purple/pink hair.

It's hard to pay attention to her music because she doesn't get any radio play. Tell Me Bout It already flopped in the UK and it's not getting any spins here.

Everything Joss does is flopping here... it's really annoying. Shes #70 in the UK mid-weeks after 4 weeks of release :(
