Relax For Yoga (The Mind Body Soul Series) - Shamindra

Advantages: Stone has a great voice
Disadvantages: But it's a predictable pop-r 'n' b sound

...was that it felt in parts as if Stone was just singing the songs she had been told to, not the songs she wanted to. Whilst they were all well performed, there were times where it didn't quite feel as if Stone was putting all her heart into it. That was enough to make me wonder how she might sound once she got into recording her own songs.

Disadvantages: May seem abit sameish to some

Advantages: some great songs if you appreciate good music, joss's voice is amazing
Disadvantages: can take a while to get into and unless you love her voice it can feel a bit repetative.

...I have always bee na fan of Joss Stone, and after seeing her perform at the brits I couldnt resist buying the album any longer, her performance at the brits was amazing, for those who missed it (heaven forbid, why would you mis it!!!! :0)!!! ) she not only gave a great performance, but later gave an even more spectacular performance with Robbie Williams, great viewing................any way lets get o the album. The title of the album which I guess is a little obviouse is Mind, Body and soul, the cover totally gives this impression, great design!, the inside of the cover shows song words and various pictures of joss for those of you who want to use your amazing voices to sing along and dont yet know every word! I didnt manage to get the first album but this one definatly makes up for that!! The tracks that are on the album are... Read review
