16 year old british soul singer who sounds like shes got 25 years of smoking, doing drugs and drinking whiskey under her belt.  An amazing soulful voice.  

Her only release right now is entirely covers, but you're not listening for the songs (which are all good songs anyways) but you are listening for her VOICE.  It's really a throw back.  Much like Norah Jones did, I think this girl could start a mini-revival.

Check out a few songs from her release 'The Soul Sessions'.

I'm already sick of hearing her current single. But she does have an amazingly soulful voice.

She has a single? Is it Fell In Love With a Boy?

I guess being a british artist, you guys get to hear her first.

I saw the video.... was thinking... damn this sounds familiar!

It's the most fuckedup cover of the White Stripes debut single.

For your first single, be original.

Just because its not all fast and stupid, and you can actually hear what she's saying.

I really like Joss Stone, i'm not sure how much stage presence she has- she's very shy and it seems weird that she's my age. But anyway, i like the single- but it has been overplayed to sheer nastiness here. I am fed up of hearing "aoooh aw oh" again and again. But she is great, and she has worked with a shitload of soul legends for her album.

I've heard her, she's so good!  Was she the girl who sang at the Kennedy Center Honors for James Brown?  I didn't hear the name when they introduced her.

Over a YEAR?!?  You are saying the CD has been out for a year?  Wow.  

I wonder why her record company waited so long to give her a push?

I just saw it on mtv! i'll definitely have to check her out sometime. they've been playing part of her video after shows as buzzworthy, it's a pretty cool cover!

I remember seeing her on the Ellen show a while back, and I was digging her. I checked out the songs on her site.. and I love her voice- she did a great job on the covers. I'm definitely going to be buying her album.. i'm gonna try today. I have never seen her video, at least not that I remember.. i'm confused on what the singles are/single is..
