Joss Stone will release her first full-length album, Mind, Body & Soul, on September 28th. The British soul singer made her debut last year with the acclaimed covers EP The Soul Sessions.

Mind features an all-star lineup of guests and collaborators including Betty Wright, Lamont Dozier, Angie Stone, the Roots' ?uestlove and Portishead's Beth Gibbons.

What appears to be a quick turnaround for the seventeen-year-old singer was actually years in the making. "I was doing this album when I first met Steve [Greenburg, producer and president of S-Curve Records]," Stone says. "He was like, 'This album is gonna be cool, but we should have something to introduce your voice.' So that's why he wanted to do the covers. It was only meant to be like five tracks but then everyone was like, 'Oh, we want it,' and everything went crazy."

Unlike Sessions, much of Mind's material is written by Stone and has been mounting since her early adolescence. "I started writing it when I was like thirteen or fourteen," she says. "That's why we're re-recording some stuff. My voice is so different from years ago. I'm getting quicker at doing the recording stuff and my voice is getting stronger."

Among the album's fourteen tracks are the first single "You Had Me," the sultry "Don't Cha Wanna Ride" and "Jet Lag," which alludes to the experience of being hungover.

What would a seventeen-year-old know about drinking? "I'm English," she says, laughing. "People are so funny in this country: 'You can't drink until you're twenty-one.' I'm like, 'Please.'"
