Joss Stone's secret record
Thursday, 30 October 2008
Joss Stone has recorded a secret album.
The 'Super Duper Love' singer has revealed she had undercover recording sessions earlier this year at her mother's house in Devon, UK.
She said: "I recorded the bulk of my new album in the space of a week in February this year. It was a secret. The house was like a building site at the time, so it was just me and the crew in two bare rooms with a microphone.
"Because we wrote and recorded most of the album in such a short space of time, it has a very raw feel. I'm really, really happy with it."
Joss explained why she chose the unusual location for the recording sessions, admitting she didn't want any interference from her record label, EMI.
She told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "It was like a secret - not a secret from the world but a secret from the record company because, basically, I didn't want them f***ing with it.
"EMI was going through a lot of change at the time. It's a very long story but there aren't many people left there that I know now."
No release date has been set for the new album, but the 21-year-old star promises it will be "soon".
