       Joscelyn Eve Stoker (born 11 April 1987), known professionally as Joss Stone, is an English singer, songwriter and actress. She rose to fame in late 2003 with her multi-platinum debut album, The Soul Sessions, which made the 2004 Mercury Prize shortlist. Her second album, the similarly multi-platinum Mind Body & Soul(2004), topped the UK Albums Chart and spawned the top-ten single "You Had Me", Stone's most successful single on the UK Singles Chart to date. Both the album and single received one nomination at the 2005 Grammy Awards, while Stone herself was nominated for Best New Artist, and in an annual BBC poll of music critics, Sound of 2004, was ranked fifth as a predicted breakthrough act of 2004. She became the youngest British female singer to top the UK Albums Chart. Stone's third album, Introducing Joss Stone, released in March 2007, achieved gold record status by the Recording Industry Association of America(RIAA) and yielded the second-ever highest debut for a British female solo artist on the Billboard 200, and became Stone's first top five album in the US.

          She released her fourth album, Colour Me Free!, in 2009, which reached the top 10 on Billboard. Stone released her fifth album, LP1, in 2011, which reached the top 10 on Billboard. Throughout her career, Stone has sold 15 million records worldwide, establishing herself as one of the best-selling soul artists of the 2000s, and the best-selling British artists of her time. Her first three albums have sold over 2,722,000 copies in the US, while her first two albums have sold over 2 million copies in the UK.

Stone has earned several awards including two Brit Awards and one Grammy Award out of five nominations. She made her film acting debut in 2006 with the fantasy adventure film Eragon, and made her television debut portraying Anne of Cleves in the Showtime series The Tudors in 2009. Stone was the youngest woman on the 2006 Sunday Times Rich List—an annual list of the UK's wealthiest people—with £6 million. In 2012, her net worth was estimated to be £10 million, making her the fifth richest British musician under 30. The Soul Sessions Vol. 2(2012) is her fourth consecutive album to reach the top 10 on the Billboard 200, with Australian producer Cam Noble.

        The Soul Sessions is the debut studio album by English singer and songwriter Joss Stone, released on 16 September 2003 by S-Curve Records. The album consists of cover versions of soul songs from the 1960s and 1970s, in addition to a cover of the White Stripes' 2001 song "Fell in Love with a Girl". In 2004, The Soul Sessions was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize and was nominated for a MOBO Award for Best Album. 

I fell in love with a boy

Fell in love once and almost completely

He's in love with the world,

But sometimes these feelings can be so misleading

He turns and he says, "Are you alright?"

Oh I must be fine 'cause my hearts still beating,

Come and kiss me by the riverside

Sarah said its cool she don't consider it cheating,

Red hair with a curl

Mellow roll for the flavor and the eyes for peeping

Can't keep away from the boy

The two sides of my brain need to have a meeting

Can't think of anything to do my left brain knows that all love is fleeting

He's just looking for something new

Yeah I said it once before but it bears repeating

(aaaaa, aaaaa, aaaaa, aaaaaaa)

Can't think of anything to do

My left brain knows that all love is fleeting

He's just looking for something new well

I said it once before but it bears repeating

Fell in love with a boy I fell in love once and almost completely

He's in love with the world

But sometimes these feelings can be so misleading

He turns and asks are you alright?

Oh I must be fine because my hearts still beating

Come and kiss me by the riverside

Sarah said it's fine she don't consider it cheating now

(aaaaaaaaa, aaaaaaaaa, aaaaaaa, aaaaa)

Can't think of anything to do

My left brain knows that all love is fleeting

He's just looking for something new

Well I've said once before but it bears repeating now.
