Joss Stone is a nineteen-year-old Brit with a huge voice that packs
grit and diva-tude beyond its years. There are a couple of moments on
Stone's third album when she clobbers a melody with enough showy vocal
oomph to make even Christina Aguilera fans squirm. But for the most part,
Stone employs her remarkable instrument with focus and nuance on
Introducing, and the result is an album full of solid pop-wise R&B. Warm
acoustic funk grooves and strong melodies are all over classic-soul-infused
cuts like "Baby Baby Baby" and big, bright stuff like "Put Your Hands
on Me." Getting cameos from Common and Lauryn Hill on an album like this
is like inviting Barbra Streisand to sing at the Democratic National
Convention: pretty frigging obvious. But those two songs are pretty good,
too.
