JOSS STONE’S ‘INTRODUCING JOSS STONE’ TO BE FEATURED ON VH1’S VSPOT

VH1 takes Joss Stone's third album release, Introducing Joss Stone, apart -- cover to cover -- with the launch of its new made-for-broadband music series "Album Autopsy." Launching on VSPOT today, "Album Autopsy: Introducing Joss Stone," takes an in-depth look at the entire album process -- from creating her album cover art, to Joss' song writing process, no stone is left unturned in this revealing new series. VSPOT guides the viewer through every step of the process, providing a snapshot of each track with exclusive clips and new interviews of those that were involved first-hand in the album's production.

"Album Autopsy: Introducing Joss Stone" provides viewers with a fly-on-the-wall look at key moments in the recording process, which are brought to life with intriguing never-before-seen footage including Joss at her recording studio in the Bahamas, recording with Common, live performances of the new album and an inside look at how Joss unwinds while recording. Also included are new interviews with Joss and those who played integral roles in the album, including Raphael Saadiq, Common, and others.

While albums are a joy to listen to, the album-making process is anything but easy. It takes a team of skilled professionals, long hours to make the tough decisions it takes to get the right vision across at that moment in time. “Album Autopsy" traces an artist's journey from the earliest steps of the album making process to the final product, through the eyes of the artist and those who participated at each step of the way.

Joss Stone has sold more than 7.5 million albums worldwide; been nominated for four Grammy Awards; appeared onstage with James Brown, The Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Patti Labelle, Mavis Staples, Donna Summer, and Smokey Robinson -- all before reaching the ripe old age of 19. With the upcoming third album release, Introducing Joss Stone (Virgin) on March 20, Joss has shown that she is a force to be reckoned with. Only now, on her third album, Introducing Joss Stone, does the British soul singer and songwriter feel she is expressing her true musical vision. "This is the first album I've made that is truly me," she says. "That's why I'm calling it Introducing Joss Stone. These are my words, and this is who I am as an artist."
