Advantages: good songs are great Disadvantages: a couple of weird ones.
I had heard a lot about Joss Stone way before i heard a lot of her music. Months before she began appearing on tv and radio, she was appearing in the newspaper and magazines, because there was a huge amount of publicity surrounding her. People couldnt believe that she was a white girl singing soul music and sounded so mature at the age of 16.
So when I heard her on the radio, i was very unaware that I was listening to Joss Stone. Probably a good thing as I appreciated her music for what it is, not for all the pubicity infuencing me.
It was her fusion of soul, jazz and a strikingly powerful voice that made her sttyle of music grow on me, as initially I hadnt been all that keen on it. However, her album contains a collection of songs that, when you first hear them, they all sound alike, but eventually you begin to pick out the best ...
Advantages: some wonderful and uniqu interpretations of older songs Disadvantages: Mika, excellent as a single CD with the creme dela creme of the tracks

However I do buy the occasional compilation if it has something unique to offer such as live tracks.

Advantages: Its just totally original and cool Disadvantages: None- unless you don't like soul music then that would be a disadvantage
Joss Stone’s got it all really, for aside from being rather gorgeous she’s got a unique voice that’s created an album in the soulsessions that’s really rather good. This is an album with a completely different sound to the bubblegum pop that the music market perpetually produces and is instantly recognisable as hers simply because of the originality of her voice. The first single released "Fell in love with a boy" is quite simply just plain cool. So cool in fact that the White Stripes changed their original version of "Fell in love with a girl" to fit in line with Stone’s tempo and phrasing. The followup "Super Duper Love" is a real feel good summer song, which is most pleasant on the ear and will undoubtedly bring a smile to your face. The rest of the album ranges from the beautiful "the choking kind" to ...
