Joss Stone should be mad as hell. She’s just spent a whole day in an exhausting photo shoot without even a break for lunch. In an hour, she needs to start rehearsing for tonight’s show, but before that she has to talk to me. She asks, not unreasonably, if she can grab a bowl of stew while we chat. Trouble is, the 18th-century London townhouse we’re shooting in is owned by an interior designer. His one rule: no food outside the kitchen. But the kitchen is crammed with yammering people, so there’s no way we’ll have a decent conversation in there. “That’s fine,” she shrugs with an easy grace. She tables her food and leads the way to a quieter room upstairs. Wait — a young sensation who’s not a diva? That…that can’t be.
Although she’s just 20, this Grammy winner is already on her third album. The willowy siren from a small town 200 miles west of London sings with a voice that tears up sweet soul music as if she’s lived a whole lifetime of loving and losing. Her first release, The Soul Sessions, consisted mainly of reworked classics. Her second — Mind, Body and Soul — saw her working with songwriters but delivering much of the same Stax-type sound. Her third, 2007’s Introducing Joss Stone, sounds a little bit Philly with a pinch of hip-hop and a healthy dollop of old-school funk. It debuted at number two on the Billboard charts, the highest ever for a female British artist.
But the album almost never happened. “I had to fight tooth and nail to write and record my own songs,” says Stone. She’s sitting cross-legged on a couch as she chats with me like we’re old friends, offering up a deep, husky, sexy laugh every few minutes. “They were, like, ‘No. Absolutely no way. You’re a singer. You stay a singer.’ But if I’m just a singer, then that’s kind of shit. I want to expand and do more.”
So she took off to the Bahamas to record — no cellphone, no e-mail, just her band. “I wanted to do this without outside influences,” she says, “just to see what’s actually going on in my own head. Otherwise, I’d never find out.”
She recorded the entire album without letting the people at her label hear a note. Then she brought it back, dumped it on the table, and said, “Here, release this!” They did, and the result was what she’d hoped for.
Stone manages her own life in the same way: privately. She won’t say whom she’s dating–”I’ve decided not to talk about that anymore. I’m really bad at not talking about things, and it’s gotten me into a lot of trouble recently.”
She is, however, happy to provide a description to help identify suspects: “For a man to be attractive, he has to be a man,” she says without a hint of hesitation. “It’s that simple, guys. Just be strong and make your woman feel looked after. Let her be a lady. Be the strength that a woman needs. Let me know I’m cared for and I’ll provide everything else for myself.”

Stone vented her anger as she announced she was helping “good friends” Princes William and Harry to raise money for injured servicemen and women.
She is performing at a gala event after the City Salute pageant, which the Princes are patrons of.
She said: “They can go to war and fight for our Queen and country but if they get their leg blown off they come back and are dealing with the NHS.”
Stone said the NHS is the “best thing” about the UK, but said soldiers should have a right to private treatment paid for by the Government.
Stone, who performed at last year’s Concert for Diana, said of her backing for City Salute: “I’m doing it because I support the cause and also because they (William and Harry) are good friends.
Stone said of her relationship with the Princes: “We don’t hang out at the pub or anything, but we get on well and although they are the poshest people I know, they are so down to earth. It seemed like a nice thing to do.”
The May 7 pageant will include fly-pasts and marches in front of St Paul’s Cathedral.
