In the run-up to this, her third album, Joss Stone told a phalanx of glossy magazines that the difference between this disc and the two that preceded it was a newfound clarity of vision. Whereas the other records--their gold status notwithstanding--represented the fumblings of a huge-voiced kid being bossed around by experienced music-biz types, this one, she promised, would reveal the real her. Thus, the titular "introduction." To which anybody who spins the 14 groovy and fully unbuttoned tracks herein will wish to reply not "nice to meet you"--far too lame a sentiment for so fully realized a disc--but "Where have you been all my life?" As good as Joss Stone's previous efforts are, Introducing Joss Stone represents a giant step forward: there's a freshness to these songs that suits her age (19 as of the album's release) and a funkiness that suits modern pop sensibilities. There's also a cross-hatching of visions with artists like Lauryn Hill and Common that will rightly advance her reputation as an artist who can sling disco, R&B, and rock almost as convincingly as soul. Splicing girl-group harmonies with blaxploitation-style funk with Joplin-esque and, at times, Shelby Lynne-reminiscent vocals, Stone works these Raphael Saadiq-produced beats with the stealth and steadiness of a '70s-era legend who's still going strong. "Girl They Won't Believe It," she wails against the tight hoo-hoo harmonizing of talented backup singers on the opening track; get a load of how much she's accomplished in the space of three albums, and you won't believe it, either. --Tammy La Gorce

 My girl Joss... February 8, 2010
Richard Campbell (USA)
Ever since i heard "You Had Me" I've been a Joss Stone fan. As soon as I heard the song i went straight to the store to buy her cd, problem was I didnt know off what album the song came from so I bought Soul Sessions by mistake. One thing about Joss Stone is she has that one song on each album that stands out more than any song on the whole album. On Soul Session it was "The Chokin Kind" on Mind, Body, & Soul there was a couple but my favorite was "Spoiled". On Introducing...Joss Stone it was "What Were We Thinking". But on Color Me Free I'm finding it hard to find that stand out song. I read the other reviews and listen to there opinion and I dont hear it. Governmentalist with Nas is cool but I dont think this CD is better than Mind,Body,& Soul, but its a quality cd.

Produced by Raphael Saddiq, a current darling of independent radio for his derivative and evocative 60's soul mash-ups. Joss can really sing soul and has a low-throaty range, like Alana Davis and many others. The 11 selections sound great in the car, since you'll need a three-way speaker to appreciate the "wall o' sound" arrangements...lots of horns and slammin' beats.

I realize this review is a couple of years overdue but I think everyone should know about the copy restriction on this CD. I had heard some of Ms. Stone's previous work on the radio and from friends. After seeing Stone being interviewed on every talk show imaginable I bought this CD with the intent of listening to it on my IPOD as I do every CD I own. I guess the joke was on me because there is software on the CD which prevents the CD from being loaded into Itunes. This infuriated me to the point that I've never actually listened to CD. Sorry, Ms. Stone and Virgin records, but this is unacceptable to me. As a librarian and a consumer I believe in the right to make a backup copy of anything I buy as long as it is for my own use. You've violated my rights. I am done with you.

Joss is a very strong female singer. She can sing some blues and used some good music on her introduction CD

Not as good as I hoped but still worthwhile. She's much better live than in the studio.
