Product Description
Product Description
As a world-renowned soul singer who Smokey Robinson calls "Aretha Joplin," Joss has sold over 11 million records globally. She has also a Grammy winner, five-time Grammy nominee, and the recipient of two Brit Awards. Stone has established her own label, Stone d Records, hence the title of the first album to come out on the label, LP1. It 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.
Product Description
Songs, sweet soul, sometimes funky, or balladesque with blue notes and plenty of intensity. Beautiful. - Digipak w/ booklet & lyrics.

When she came out, Joss was about 15 years old and that made her be seen as another teen pop singer even if she had that extraordinary and soulful voice and covered White Stripes and Aretha Franklin. To this day a lot of people still think she's a product of the music business but they couldn't be more wrong. In every record post-Mind Body and Soul, she tries to tell us she wants to be free and LP1 may be the one she really meant to make since the beginning. It sounds unpolished and it's obvious that it was made very quickly but that is exactly what Joss wanted. No record label would let her be this free. She oversings, she is corny at times but most of all, through every single second of this album, she does what she wants and she likes it. I wish every album was this heartfelt. I still prefer Colour Me Free (her 2009 release) though but this one is a summer record that may not be massive or a chart-topper but it's definetely worth listening to. Best tracks for me: Drive All Night, Somehow, Karma.

Joss is boss on this album and she pulls it out of he bag and ends her streak of banal albums with this perfect lp which i can listen to every song without skipping! She's back and i like it

To be honest I approached 'LP1' with extreme caution. Her last
album 2009's 'Colour Me Free' left me cold and I was not terribly
complimentary about it within the context of these virtual pages.
Time to think again Mr Wolf.
This is the album which I think I've been waiting for since her 2003
debut 'The Soul Sessions' gave me good reason to sit up and listen.
Very suddenly the voice (and it always held the potential to be one of
the very finest) seems to have taken a great leap forward stylistically,
technically and emotionally. This is incredibly good singing. Vibrant,
raw and wholly alive. There is a spontaneity running through these ten
songs (captured vividly by producer David A. Stewart) which pulls you
in and shakes you around; demanding to be heard and deserving respect.
Listen to Ms Stone's performance on 'Drive All Night' (a marvelous
number co-written with Eg White). Laid-back but totally committed.
Slick and soulful; every word intuitively weighed and delivered with
perfect timing and consummate expressive skill. The real deal!
The vibrant energy thrown out in 'Don't Start Lying To Me Now' is
wild and raw enough to strip the paint off ceilings. Suddenly
comparisons with the late, great Janis Joplin seem not so unthinkable.
No-less-so opening track 'Newborn' which Ms Stone delivers with
true grit and her larynx and lungs on fire. Truly rip-roaring stuff!
There is nowhere to hide in the stripped-down acoustic guitar arrangement
of 'Landlord'. The voice is fully exposed in this thrilling blues masterclass.
Arguably the finest recorded performance of Ms Stone's career so-far!
(For sheer upbeat exuberance, however, single 'Somehow' takes a bit of beating).
It's good to be made to think again. I'd come very close to believing that
this young woman no-longer had a GREAT album in her. WRONG! This is it!!
Highly Recommended.

LP1 Joss Stone
Not necessarily the greatest MP3 I have ever downloaded as some of the songs are somewhat on the slow side for me but other than that it's not a bad album. Read more

Joss Stone
I first saw her on TV at the Glastonbury Festival several years ago and was 'wow'd' by her singing style. Now I am never disappointed with any of her albums.

Joss Stone nose what she wants.
On this, Stone's 5th first album, she proves to all the unbelievers just what vinyl is all about. Reproduced on a minuscule CD cover Miss Stone's nose appears to be sporting a... Read more
