Full review

This is basically a good first offering which shows Joss Stone's raw talent and offers a relatively fresh sound. Unfortunately though, it was over-hyped prior to it's release and is not the musical bomb-shell we were promised. A couple of the tracks really stand out, mainly as a result of their infectious choruses. There are also several songs on the album though which, despite Joss Stone's fantastic voice, are all too forgettable. If you can buy this album and expect no more than the promising early works of an up and coming artist then do. If like me though, you have bought the hype and want nothing less than a miracle I'd guess you will be disappointed with your purchase, at least at first. Buy it, but with caution.
