Biografía
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.
Críticas en vivo
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.
English born, America adopted songstress Joss Stone has had a varied and interesting career regarding chart success. The British audiences adored her first couple of albums however the US were also enjoying the soulful tones of Stone so she appeared to migrate to the other side of the pond meaning as her chart positions rose in America, they fell in the UK.
This does not mean that when Joss does return home, her fans do not embrace her warmly. In contrast, they flock to her elusive shows to enjoy a mixture of older material with the new sounds which are inspired by the genres of reggae and hip-hop. There is no denying that Stone can sing and she allows her pipes to shine on a cover of 'While You're Out Looking for Sugar' by Honey Cone which blows the collective audience away. She dots the set with hits such as 'You Had Me' and 'Super Duper Love' but tonight is all about the voice and she deals mainly in covers as she showcases her unarguable talent for the finale of 'First Taste of Hurt' by Willie Tee and an re-imagined 'Fall In Love With a Girl' by The White Stripes.
Great show, despite a lot of unknown songs (before the show, Joss said she was testing new things live before releasing her next album). Pop, soul, blues and, surprisingly, lots of reggae. Besides that, she played some of her hits, like "Right to Be Wrong", "Super Duper Love", "Jet Lag", "Fell In Love With a Boy", all of them praising the audience.
Lots of charisma, a great voice and, of course, her stunning looks made a perfect package.
What a treat this was for my daughter and I.
Sometime concerts are great and sometimes they are special and never to be forgotten.
This one was all of this and more.
Well done Joss and friends in putting on such a great show for such a great cause.

Joss is always amazing!
Her humanity is in every single song that she had written. Her voice is impeccable!
It's my third time and it's always an incredible experience!
How do not love this girl!?
Started a bit dull but picked up the speed afterwards. Great & flawless performance from Joss and the orchestra too. Could've been much better if she included a few more of her top songs.
It was an amazing concert, she even performed a song in spanish, called "Ojos Azules". It was my third time going to a Joss Stone's concert and she always deliver the best perfomances.
The best concert ever! Joss is adorable, amazing and gifted! She interacts with the crowd all the time! I just miss old songs such "Tell me what we gonna do" and "Baby, baby, baby".
