Whereas the other records--their gold status notwithstanding--represented the fumblings of a huge-voiced kid being bossed around by experienced music-biz types, this one, she promised, would reveal the real her. Thus, the titular \"introduction.\" To which anybody who spins the 14 groovy and fully unbuttoned tracks herein will wish to reply not \"nice to meet you\"--far too lame a sentiment for so fully realized a disc--but \"Where have you been all my life?\" As good as Joss Stone's previous efforts are, Introducing Joss Stone represents a giant step forward: there's a freshness to these songs that suits her age (19 as of the album's release) and a funkiness that suits modern pop sensibilities. There's also a cross-hatching of visions with artists like Lauryn Hill and Common that will rightly advance her reputation as an artist who can sling disco, R\u0026amp;B, and rock almost as convincingly as soul. Splicing girl-group harmonies with blaxploitation-style funk with Joplin-esque and, at times, Shelby Lynne-reminiscent vocals, Stone works these Raphael Saadiq-produced beats with the stealth and steadiness of a '70s-era legend who's still going strong. \"Girl They Won't Believe It,\" she wails against the tight hoo-hoo harmonizing of talented backup singers on the opening track; get a load of how much she's accomplished in the space of three albums, and you won't believe it, either. --Tammy La Gorce\n\nAbout the Artist\n\nBritish soul singer and songwriter Joss Stone's third album, \"Introducing Joss Stone,\" is an electrifying mix of warm vintage soul, '70s-style R\u0026amp;B, Motown girl-group harmonies, and hip-hop grooves. The album is the one that Stone describes as \"truly me. That's why I'm calling it Introducing Joss Stone,\" she says. \"These are my words, and this is who I am as an artist.\" Knowing she wanted to write the album alone, Stone decamped to Barbados in April to come up with lyrics. She stayed for several months before flying to the Bahamas to hook up with her main musical collaborator and producer Raphael Saadiq (known for his work with D'Angelo, The Roots, and Macy Gray). Stone and Saadiq spent two months recording in the Bahamas, and then mixed it at the legendary Electric Lady Studios in New York City.\nOther musical collaborators include rapper\/singer\/songwriter and producer Novel, who is the grandson of soul legend Solomon Burke and has written songs for Kelis and India.Arie, as well as Beau Dozier, son of Motown legend Lamont Dozier, whom she wrote with on her last album, 2004's gold-certified Mind, Body \u0026amp; Soul. The album also features guest vocal appearances by the rapper Common on \"Tell Me What We're Going to Do,\" and reclusive singer Lauryn Hill, who lends a rap to the languid Fugees-inspired track \"Music.\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000MTPAGI\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 5ALWH0000B54_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:STONE,JOSS\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The case shows normal wear and is in good condition.

Her effortless singing on the beat-driven \"Karma\" is a wonder of sonics on this uplifting piece of pop philosophy, giving countless anxious woman hope that everything will work out as it's meant to, or on \"Samsonite Man,\" where it won't. But despite her edgy styling and jazzy vocal posturing, Keys hasn't abandoned her love for old R\u0026amp;B and travels back in time, giving Gladys Knight's \"If I Was Your Woman\" a face lift it may not have needed, then turns around and recasts the song as the winsome and dramatic \"You Don't Know My Name.\" But at its heart, The Diary of Alicia Keys is a gross misnomer. After listening to the disc, fans will know little more about the elusive diva than they did before, her lyrical style consistently more narrative than confessional. In fact, the title track doesn't delve into the singer's inner life, but instead is about a long-distance love affair, with Keys promising the object of her affection that: \"I won't tell your secrets\/Your secrets are safe with me\/I will keep your secrets\/Just think of me as the pages in your diary.\"--Jaan Uhelszki\n\nProduct description\n\nKeys,Alicia ~ Diary Of Alicia Keys\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0000DD7LC\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: HBSV.B0000DD7LC.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Keys, Alicia\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Discs is in good condition and comes in original case with original artwork.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"The Happy Book Stack ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51562221371693,"sku":"HBSV.B0000DD7LC.G","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/6799\/6205\/files\/B0000DD7LC-0.jpg?v=1760647147"},{"product_id":"genius-loves-company","title":"Genius Loves Company","description":"GENTLY USED MUCH CLOSER TO NEW CONDITION THAN USED CONDITION - MUCH LESS THAN NORMAL WEAR!
