soul sensation <b>Joss Stone</b> is back with her seventh studio album ‘<b>Water For Your Soul’</b>, set for release on
<b>Stone’d Records</b> on <b>July 17<sup>th</sup></b>. The follow up to 2012’s ‘The Soul Sessions Vol.2’, the LP represents a musical departure for Stone. Infused with elements of reggae, ‘world’ sounds, hip hop and of course, soul, the self-written and co-produced
‘Water For Your Soul’ sees Joss venturing into previously unexplored territory - collaborating with the likes of<b> Nitin Sawney, Damian Marley and Dennis Bovell</b>. On May 11<sup>th</sup>, the debut track “<b>Stuck On You”</b> off of her upcoming album will
be available as an instant-grat track via iTunes. (Pre-order info <b><u><a href="http://smarturl.it/waterforyoursouliT">HERE</a></u></b>)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light","sans-serif"">Joss Stone says of the album,
<b>‘Water For Your Soul’</b> is the fruits of her travels in sound, demonstrating how the teen soul prodigy has blossomed into an artist of style and substance. It is an album that pulses with the liquid groove of reggae, dazzles with the mix and match sonic
adventure of hip hop, shimmers with the exotic sounds of world music and delivers the emotional belt of R’n’B. “It’s really a combination of all the things I like,” explains Joss.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light","sans-serif"">Water For Your Soul is Joss Stone’s seventh album and will be released on Joss’s own Stone’d label, which she set up after her deal with EMI ended in 2011. Her idealistic approach shines
through her new album. “Some people play music to pay their bills, some have a story to tell, some people make music to become famous. Every reason is valid, because it’s your own personal reason, and once you’ve figured it out, you know where you’re going.
The reason I do it is because it fills me up. It’s like a drug to me. It’s like it tastes good and it smells good and it’s warm. If I’m walking down the street and I hear a busker playing, it makes my day better. And I guess I’m addicted to having that in
my life. And that’s why I do it, to share that feeling with other people.” <o:p>
