Soul superstar Joss Stone to perform in South Africa
Multi-platinum selling British soul singer Joss Stone will be performing for one night only, in the Carnival City Big Top Arena, on Wednesday, April 2.
With six albums and over 14 million in sales worldwide under her belt, Stone has made an impression on fans of soul music.
With her latest release, The Soul Sessions Volume Two, Stone shows why she is so highly acclaimed in her genre.
Her new album has been described as “vocal poise, passion and power with some great songs and an artist at the peak of her powers”.
Her childhood musical influences were Dusty Springfield and Aretha Franklin, and she has emulated their soulful style of singing.
Joss enjoyed early success when, in 2001, at the age of 13, she won the BBC Television talent show Star for a Night, and also won Steps to the Stars.
In 2003 she signed a recording contract with S-Curve Records and released The Soul Sessions, her multi-platinum debut album, which reached the Top Five in the UK Album charts and the Top 40 of the US Billboard 200 chart.
To date, Joss has won numerous accolades, including a Grammy and two Brit awards.
Her decade in showbiz has been characterised by her intuitive and freeform approach to music, and by hard-earned experience.
In her short, young life and already long career, she has performed on stage with the likes of James Brown, Gladys Knight, Solomon Burke, Blondie, Smokey Robinson and Melissa Etheridge among others, and has also enjoyed collaborations with Mick Jagger and Dave Stewart.
The show begins at 8pm.
