Joss Stone defiantly titled her third album Introducing Joss Stone, dismissing her first two albums with one smooth stroke. Stone claims those records were made under record label pressure, but as a young adult of 19, she's free to pursue her muse in her own fashion. However, Introducing Joss Stone isn't radically different from what Stone has done before. The professional in-the-pocket grooves have been replaced by drum loops, the warm burnished sound has been ditched in favor of crisp, bright sonics, Harlan Howard covers are pushed aside for cameos by Common and Lauryn Hill. It's a cosmetic change that works: Introducing does sound brighter, fresher than her other two albums, pitched partway between Amy Winehouse and Christina Aguilera, yet sounding very much like Texas at their prime. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Joss Stone is an amazing young artist with a throaty, mature voice! She is extreemly talented and her lyrics are so incredibly true to life. I love this album SO MUCH! I bought it for my eighteen year old daughter because I knew she would love it too! I can't WAIT to hear Joss' next work! I am ready to climb her Star with her as a devoted fan!!
