[sunting] Biography
Stone was born in Dover, Kent, England, and spent her teenage years in Ashill, Devon. She grew up listening to a wide variety of music including R&B and soul music performed by such artists as Dusty Springfield and Aretha Franklin; as a result, she developed a soulful style of singing like her idols. At 14, she appeared on Star for a Night on BBC Television singing Franklin's 1967 "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman". She told MTV News, "I kind of clicked into soul music more than anything else because of the vocals. You've got to have good vocals to sing soul music and I always liked it ever since I was little."
In 2002, she decided to back her ability by flying out from England for an audition in New York City with S-Curve CEO Steve Greenberg. She also signed a global music publishing deal with BMG Music Publishing in the UK.
At one point she sang backup for Britney Spears.[1]
Since then, she has performed with such artists as Blondie and Gladys Knight. She was named as the spokesperson for the megastore Gap, although she was reportedly dropped because of rumours of her living with Beau Dozier (son of record producer, Lamont Dozier), while she was only 17 (Beau was born in 1979, thus 8 years older than her).
[sunting] The Soul Sessions
After being signed by S-Curve Records, Stone flew to Miami, Florida to start work on her debut album, The Soul Sessions, released 16 September 2003. She collaborated with people with solid credentials in the Miami soul scene such as Betty Wright, Benny Latimore, Timmy Thomas, and Little Beaver. She also worked with contemporary acts Angie Stone and The Roots.
The album consists of little known soul tracks by Wright, Franklin, Laura Lee, and Bettye Swann. Released in late 2003, it reached the top five in the UK Top 75 Albums, and also made the top forty of the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. The lead single, "Fell in Love with a Boy", which was a reworking of The White Stripes' 2001 song "Fell in Love with a Girl", reached the top twenty of the UK Top 75 Singles. The second single, "Super Duper Love", also reached the top twenty.
[sunting] Mind, Body & Soul
After achieving critical acclaim for The Soul Sessions, Stone recorded an album full of original songs and released her second album Mind, Body & Soul on 28 September 2004. It proved to be an even bigger success than her first album, as it debuted at number one in the UK (breaking the record for the youngest female ever to top the UK Top 75, a record previously held by Avril Lavigne) and just missed the top ten of the U.S. Billboard 200, after peaking at number eleven. The lead single, "You Had Me", became her first top ten hit in the UK. Follow-up singles "Right to Be Wrong" and "Spoiled" both made the top forty, and "Don't Cha Wanna Ride" the top twenty. "Spoiled" landed just outside of the top fifty of U.S. Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, peaking at number fifty-four.
On 14 November 2004, Stone joined Band Aid 20 to benefit Sudan's troubled Darfur region. The group, consisting of such luminaries as Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin and U2 lead singer Bono, re-recorded the 1984 song "Do They Know It's Christmas?", written by Band Aid organizers Bob Geldof and Midge Ure. Stone, born two years after the release of the original single, wasn't initially aware who Bob Geldof was.[2] The media gleefully reported that she repeatedly referred to him as Bob Gandalf.[3] Despite some criticism of the single, it became the UK's biggest seller of 2004 as well as the Christmas number one. [4][5]
In February 2005, Stone was nominated for three Brit Awards, of which she won two — "British Female Solo Artist" and "British Urban Act". She was also nominated three times at the 2005 Grammy Awards – "Best New Artist", "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance" for "You Had Me", and "Best Pop Vocal Album" for Mind, Body & Soul –, where she sang barefoot on stage with rock performer Melissa Etheridge, in tribute to blues-rock singer Janis Joplin. Their performance of "Cry Baby"/"Piece of My Heart" was released as a single, and, through the aid of strong digital downloads, became Stone's first top forty hit in the U.S. when it debuted at number thirty-two (where it ultimately would peak) on the Billboard Hot 100. In July 2005, she lent her vocal talents to the Fantastic Four soundtrack, singing the title song "What Ever Happened to the Heroes", written by P!nk, billymann, and Christopher Rojas.
On 2 July 2005, Stone performed at the Live 8 concert in Hyde Park, London, and did a duet with singer James Brown on British chat show Friday Night with Jonathan Ross. On 5 February 2006, she joined Stevie Wonder, India.Arie, and John Legend at the Super Bowl XL pre-game show in performing a medley of Wonder's hits and on the night of the 2006 Grammy Awards, she helped perform a medley of hits by the reclusive singer Sly Stone.
