Joss Stone - The Soul Sessions, Vol. 2

Grammy award winner Joss Stone's Stone'd Records label has joined forces with the label that first signed her, S-Curve Records, for the long-awaited follow up to Stone's massive 5 million selling debut 2003 album, THE SOUL SESSIONS. Entitled THE SOUL SESSIONS VOLUME 2, the album will be released on July 31st and will be a joint release between Joss Stone's Stone'd Records label and S-Curve Records. The eleven covers on THE SOUL SESSIONS VOLUME 2 include deep cuts such as "(For God's Sake) Give More Power to the People" (originally recorded by the Chi-Lites), "The Love We Had" (The Dells), "Pillow Talk" (Sylvia), "While You're Out Looking for Sugar" (The Honey Cone), first US single "The High Road" - a stone-cold soul makeover of the Broken Bells' cult hit - and many more. Stone reunited with S-Curve's Steve Greenberg earlier this year for a series of electrifying sessions in Nashville, with a stellar cast of musicians including Ernie Isley, Delbert McClinton, original Muscle Shoals Swamper Clayton Ivey, and others. The resulting album showcases a young woman at the height of her vocal powers. Ten years on from the original album, which was recorded by Stone at the tender age of 15, there is undoubtedly a new level of maturity in evidence on this set - a stunning exercise in vocal poise, passion and power.
