Album Description
Available in:
The Soul Sessions Volume 2 is the sixth studio album by English recording artist Joss Stone, released on 23 July 2012. Recorded over two live recording sessions in New York and Nashville, the album consists of 11 cover versions and is a follow-up to Stone's highly successful debut album The Soul Sessions (2003). It was announced that the album will be released as a collaboration between Stone's own independent label Stone'd Records and the label she released her first two albums under, S-Curve Records.
User Album Review
Joss Stone was only 16 years old when she debuted with The Soul Sessions in 2003. Britain and the United States quickly fell for her barefoot innocence and worldly, earthy soul voice, a voice well beyond her years.
Since then, Stone’s resolutely followed her own path. Mostly self-penned albums have yielded diminishing artistic and commercial returns, while her recordings with SuperHeavy failed to attract many plaudits. Film, television and videogame roles have met with comparable indifference.
With her career curveballs never engaging with the public as successfully as her debut, perhaps retreat to the comforting cocoon of what made Stone’s name was inevitable. And album six is just that: a second set of soul-infused covers, released on her original label S-Curve, helmed by her original producer Steve Greenberg.
To complete the similarities, Stone is not merely rehashing some old soul fare. Where the Soul Sessions grappled manfully with The White Stripes’ Fell in Love With a Girl, here she gives Broken Bells’ The High Road a heroic, no-holds barred makeover that’s as sensual as it is spiritual. It is, you suspect, how Stone was always meant to sound.
Elsewhere she dips into more conventional soul territory, although only Womack & Womack’s majestic Teardrops was a major hit (Stone’s take builds imperiously and brims with rue). Her funk-fuelled crack at Stoned Out of My Mind owes more to the ever-underrated Chi-Lites original than The Jam’s blunderbuss assault on it.
But while Stone can bawl with the best of them, she can do restraint too. John D. Loudermilk’s corny weepie Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye has a string arrangement that avoids the saccharine trap (although it’s a close call), but Stone radiates pain with a conviction and believability she’s never quite summoned before.
There’s another trap too: it may have been conceived as a time-buying stopgap, but The Soul Sessions Vol 2 is Stone’s most focused and rewarding album since Vol 1. When she starts writing for herself again, she'll have to really up her game.
