from RollingStone.com:

The Smoking Section caught up with blessed British soul child Joss Stone while she was busy mixing her first great album, in the bowels of New York’s Electric Lady Studios. “I made two records that are so-so — some of those songs even irritate me,” says Stone, referring to 2003’s Soul Sessions and 2004’s Mind, Body & Soul. “But in those days, it was like, ‘Just sing, honey.’ ” This time around, the nineteen-year-old Stone is writing her own songs and taking a greater role in the process. She’s also found a kindred soul in producer Raphael Saadiq. “He’s the first person to get me,” she says. “This album is me finally letting it out.” Stone told everyone around her — parents, managers, friends and even her dogs — to bugger off as she immersed herself in recording sessions in the Bahamas. The result? Dynamic and personal cuts like “Music,” which features a rap spot from Lauryn Hill; “Girl They Won’t Believe It,” where she belts as if the Isley Brothers had a long-lost sister; and the feel-good jam “Nothing Better Than.” “I was ready to go home, go to school and become a midwife,” says Stone, whose hair is now pink. “But now I finally have a record I can listen to and not cringe. And this is not some ‘Promiscuous Girl’ shit. This is real.”

I'm excited ! I love Joss Stone !!!! B)

wow, that's some great news! I love Joss Stone. Her voice is sooooo beautiful!

I personally can't stand Joss Stone.....urgh
John Legend's new single is Heaven is rocking though

all I can say is the word "bad" <_<

That is great news. I love Joss Stone.. she got a great voice.

Do someone know when her new album will be released?

It's a shame tho that lauryn only did some rap on that song... I prefer lauryns singing voice.

funny, i agree with both of those statements

I like Promiscuous Girl by Nelly Furtardo.
Theres also an incredible song on Take That's new album called I'd Wait For Life... :whisle:
currently listening to mary j Real Love

whats wrong with you....Joss Stone is hot..her voice is magic!

cant wait to hear that track with lauryn on it!

i disagree...i saw joss ages ago when she supported erykah and she's amazing...and i prefer lauryn's rapping (tho don't get me wrong, her voice is incredible as well) so i'm excited to hear this!

I just find her annoying. Her accents started to change to American and shes very squeaky and I don't think shes a great conveyer of music, emotion.

so this is the same andrew as before i guess
i come here about every week
and i was gonna start a topic but i couldnt
anyways, i got a lot of questions..

whats the latest with lauryn hill?
i mean what are her latest songs that havent been released?
like conformed to love etc.
and what was social drgus recorded for?
and are the songs possibilities for he new album?
and her new sound is acoustic right? so we shuldnt expect anything like mised?

agh i just want to know what is going on[B] :argh:

well let you know when we find out!!!!!

I don't think its acurate to say her new sound is acoustic. I predict there will be a electric instruments on the new album. I don't think any of the songs i.e conformed to love will be on the new album but there may be similar chord progressions

riiight
what about social drugs?
what was that made for? cuz it wasnt live
well atleast the version i have deff. isnt live
and what else is new since conformed to love
and does anyone ahve the mp3s for them?

Social drugs was recorded as a treat for her fans. When you bought a painting from her internet site ou were given a link to that performance.

you had to pay 15 bugs and then you were able to watch it 3 times. I also think that social drugs was just a treat for the fans.

Why is her website down ?
She should be having more treats for us, while we´re waiting for the album, lol.

I can't wait for the moment when i buy the album and take it home to listen too....no doubt have it on repeat for hours. :whisle:

I miss Lauryn Hill. Personally as a fan.

bugs ? :rolleyes:

If only....lol

Lauryn will never make an album :blink: :crying: :crying: :crying:

Thats Rubbish B)

I thought she already made two :huh:

Sorry guys it will never happen :crying: :crying: :crying: :blink: :blink: :blink: :crying: :crying: :crying:

How do you know ?

I've just thought of something. Imagine how cool it would be if Lauryn Hill did a colaboration with Michael Jackson......droooooll :wub:

Guest,

That's not a good thought. But based on everything that we now know......u might be right. :(

LOL!!!! I mean Bucks :D

The Joss Stone album is out March 06. And the song with lauryn will be called "Music". Im a bit dispointed tht lauryn is rapping not singing. But I hope the song will be the single from the album and do better than Wyclef And Shakira which wouldn't be hard.

I'm glad to hear that L'll rap

^^^agreed

I can wait for this song. I like it that L and JS are working on a song!

Love u Miss Lauryn,but GOD NO,Joss Stone is so arrogant these days,and is acting like a spoiled brat,she should just go away.I hope Lauryn only did that for money,and as far as i'm aware she wasnt even in the studio with Stone,she just sent her vocals over.
Joss was a lil girl that started out well,but has become a typical teen brat,who thinks they will last forever,and she doesnt do much but fall outta clubs these days,and there's been many comments of her looking stoned.

Where are you talking about guest? Did you found this information in a gossip magazine?

Unfortunately not,I happen to know Madame Stone,and have been less than impressed with her for some time now.
There's snippets of her new material floating round now [Joss that is,not Lauryn] and its same old rubbish,less than impressive.I hope,hope Lauryn only got involved for her own career's sake.

Yep I heard that too,lauryn was NOT in studio with her,and Lauryn wasnt actually keen to do it at all,but its biz,and that Stone chick trying to tell the world she harassed MRS HILL to talk Lauryn round!!!! I agree with u about her ego too,cos i've met her a few times [joss],and she really has turned Prima Donna,all that stuff with her saying SHE HATES PARTIES,THIS ALBUM IS REAL HER all that jazz..First up,she falls out of more clubs than Paris,she said all same crap regarding her last album,and she was supposed to have written her songs last album,but now she's admitting she wrote very little
Now she's telling us she did this album ALL herself,yeah right,thats why u hired RAPHAEL,DIANNE WARREN,LAURYN,COMMON,BEAU DOZIER,NOVEL..What are they the ppl to fan u down whilst u work?
And dont believe her rubbish about bad relationships,cos she cheated all thru her relationship with Lamont Dozier's son,she milked it for all the publicity she could get,and her peeps were responsible for the under-age sex story THEY started about him.SHE IS NO INNOCENT,NOR IS SHE THE NICE GIRL THAT U ARE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE!!!

too much gossiping people. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

What does that have to do with Joss Stone's talent ?

WHAT Joss Stone talent? Its not gossip,its fact!! Everyone with industry connections knows what she gets up too,and she talks bull,she has more writers on her songs than anyone,they shipped a load of ppl out to Barbados for her,she said all same bull about her other albums too,and the same for the next

Good news !!!
The song with lauryn will be the first single !
I'm kinda superbusy right now, but all the info is available at fugeesonline, if someone could please post it on laurynet (ddd, please :rolleyes: ), I'd really appreciate it !!! thanks

the name of the first single is "Music"(feat. Lauryn),and the single will be released on 19 of march,
