DVD Review

A deeply souled-up and red hot Joss Stone charmed the pants off New York in September 2004.The Devon babe has been making waves over the past two years, as she embraces the American genre,adds a British twist,and throws it back in their faces-and they love it.With two platinum discs behind her,she continues to progress at an alarming rate.Swinging from the bluesy Janis Joplin to soulful Aretha Franklin,giggly sex-siren Stone is nothing short of a phenomenon.Tall,lean and stunning,she also swings from girlie giggles to serious singer in an instant.Her blonde tousled hair just adds the X-factor that her young contemporaries can only aspire to.At 14 she teamed up with soul legend and mentor Betty Wright,who steered her through her first album The Soul Sessions;a covers album.Mind Body and Soul is her breaking out as singer and songwriter-with astonishing results.Filmed at New York’s intimate Irving Plaza in September 2004,she wows the fans with a tour-de-force,and it’s all so simple for her.Multi-angled shots and superb sound recording capture every second of a young woman ever growing in confidence.On stage she’s delightful,and the crowd warmed up to her all night-they simply couldn’t get enough of her.A white woman with a black voice is a revelation in itself,but when the voice lets rip,best found on Spoiled,it’s something to behold,as she delivers like woman ten years her senior.Set wise,it’s perfectly balanced as she gently marshals her troops through a spellbinding gig.The documentary includes extra concert footage,with interview snippets here and there.Her star continues to rise and rise and rise.

Amazing.
