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!

Also updated the Tour Page.

As I posted, back in April of last year, Joss posed nude for her second PETA ad. Here’s more on the ad:

The latest PETA anti-fur campaign focuses on the practice of trapping and killing Canadian bears to provide fur hats for the Queen’s guards. Joss Stone has proposed an animal-friendly alternative.

Joss Stone and Ricky Martin’s duet, “The Best Thing About Me Is You”, is available for purchase from various music outlets such as iTunes and Amazon.com (below). Be sure to buy a copy (or two) and support Joss! As I type this, the song is #25 in the US iTunes Charts. Help send it to the top!
