Stone navigates her way with confidence and prowess, passion and experimentation.
-
Thing is, Joss Stone does have an extraordinary voice, and the only misguided ploy on The Soul Sessions is a Roots-produced slo-mo cover of a White Stripes tune.
-
It's a record that benefits from the homogenous, warm feeling such an intimate set-up can make for, the tracks setting up Stone's remarkable voice rather than intentionally distracting from the singer's limitations.

Q MagazineA fine start. [Mar 2004, p.113]
-
Stones voice is remarkably authentic, and the atmosphere she conjures is smoky and sleazy, pure mid-60s Detroit.
-
Her singing is rich, mature and agile but not showy, at least until the final number.
-
Norah Jones is herself, give her that. I hate to think what this phenom will have to go through to get that far.
