Sooooo, we already know Joss will release a solo album in July, but now, we’re going to get even more new material from her just months later as well!

Joss, along with Dave Stewart (who co-produced Joss’ upcoming album), Mick Jagger, Damian Marley and Indian film composer A.R. Rahman, have been recording on the down low as “Super Heavy” and will release a full studio album in September!

In an interview with RollingStone magazine, Mick Jagger revealed that the group has been recording for the past 18th months and their sound can be described as follows:

“It’s different from anything else I’ve ever been involved in. The music is very wide-ranging – from reggae to ballads to Indian songs in Urdu.”

What a great group of musicians! Can’t wait to hear what Super Heavy has come up with!

On Monday night, PBS aired American Experience “Soundtrack For a Revolution”, chronicling “the story of the American civil rights movement through its powerful music.”

Joss contributed “Keep Your Eyes on the Prize” to the program. Watch the segment below! (Sorry for the delay!)

She also participated in a group number of “We Shall Overcome”.

The Sunday Times has come out with it’s annual Music Rich List and Joss Stone makes the Top 5 of the Young Music Millionaires List at #5 with an estimated net worth of £9 million ($15M USD).

Top 5 are: Katherine Jenkins, Cheryl Cole, Leona Lewis, & Katie Melua (tie), Joss Stone. Love that the Top 5 is 100% female! Make that money, girls!

Overall, Clive Calder, “who co-founded Zomba Records and its subsidiary Jive”, tops the list with £1.3 billion ($2.1 billlion).

The rest of the overall Top 10: Sir Cameron Mackintosh (£675m), Sir Paul McCartney (£495m), Simon Fuller (£375m), Simon Cowell (£200m), Sir Elton John (£195m), Sir Mick Jagger (£190m), Sting (£180m) and Keith Richards (£175m).

Yowza, that’s a lot of money!

The full list will be released this weekend.

PRESS RELEASE:

Stone’d Records & Surfdog Records are proud to announce their partnership to release Joss Stone‘s next album, LP1 on July 26, 2011. As a world-renowned soul singer who Smokey Robinson calls “Aretha Joplin,” Joss has sold over 11 million records globally. Having just turned 24, Joss has already amassed a career’s worth of successes. She is a Grammy winner, five-time Grammy nominee, and the recipient of several Brit Awards.

Stone recently established her own label, Stone’d Records, and has partnered with Surfdog to release LP1. This is the first album Joss has recorded with total creative freedom. She co-wrote and co -produced it with super-producer and Eurythmics co-founder, Dave Stewart. Together they immersed themselves into a rock n’ soul musical odyssey in Nashville, Tennessee, finishing LP1 in only six days.

“This is the most fun I’ve ever had making a record with Crazy Dave Stewart at the helm, and yes the players in Nashville are unbelievable!!!” says Stone. “This album captures a specific moment in time that was spontaneous and full of creativity.”

“Joss can sing with the ferocity of a lioness and dynamically switch to the most delicate whisper in the same phrase,” says Stewart. “She is always honest and full of real emotion. It is an honor to work alongside a true artist who understands so much at such a young age.”

Note: Just think about this… I opened this site when Joss was 16! Dedication!

Eeeep! Can’t wait!

Well, actually afterwards, but you can see what she was wearing. Looked gorgeous as always!
