Since then, she has released seven studio albums which have sold over 15 million copies worldwide. Stone has kept the company of musical royalty, performing alongside legendary artists such as James Brown, Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Sting, Van Morrison and Melissa Etheridge. In addition, she has collaborated with and contributed to albums for many of the world’s finest musicians, including Jeff Beck, Mick Jagger, and Damien Marley. Stone has been known to experiment with different styles in her own work as well, and her albums feature an exciting patchwork of various influences, creating a catalogue characterized by the fusion of her powerhouse soul vocals with reggae, world music, and hip-hop soundscapes. Soon she will release her eighth studio album, produced by Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart and written at Bay Street Studios, Bahamas and recorded at Blackbird Studios, Nashville. Discussing the collaboration, Stone says “Dave and I have been great friends for a very long time and we have worked together on various projects. He has this calm, quiet confidence that encourages you to tell your story. He is a breath of fresh air, very young at heart. And he always wants to lift you up.” In addition to writing and recording new music, in the past year Stone has launched a successful podcast “A Cuppa Happy,” along with a weekly Facebook Live cooking show “Cooking With Joss,” and in February she won season two of the hit competition series The Masked Singer UK. In 2019 Stone completed her most audacious project to date—The Total World Tour—in which she performed and collaborated with local artists in over 200 countries around the world.
