    While not a huge fan by any means, I like Stones earlier work. This offering however is horribly bland and I can't be bothered to expand this review to fill the 150 character minimum required by Metacritic.

    Experimental, cheio de personalidade, versatilidade e muito talento que nao cabe nessa mulher, esborra. Ainda bem que ela é livre pra fazer o que achar melhor sem se preocupar em agradar a degradante da melindrosa. Rainha do soul, da voz e do UK !

    An incredible album! Joss is one of the most complete artists these days... People complained on the style of the album and, guys, just stop! She's traveling the world and knowing new sounds and she did this CD as an experiment of all this. She's just amazing! The vocals are beautiful, as always and the album is a delight. Good music is rare these days... so, enjoy it! Water for our souls!

    This album gives you the feeling of freedom. Water for Your Soul gives you a positive vibe in this odd time we live in. Just sit back put on the music and enjoy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Joss Stone has grown into a vocal power house, she is exploring different sounds and its a beautiful tapestry of soul and reggae. With a very positive and uplifting vibe the album soars. I look forward to more from Miss Stone. I am sure these songs would be amazing live.… Expand

    She dives into world music on this album, with interesting results. [No. 123, p.61]

    It contains flashes of her former glories--This Ain’t Love’s soft R&B lilt; The Answer’s joyful chorus--but the rest is proficient, if hackneyed.

    The result is a great effort from a still-striving free spirit.
