People forget what it was like to be young, the stuff I'm expressing now is for the first time.

In late August 2010 it was reported that Stone had left EMI and formed her own independent record label Stone'd Records. Stone's fourth studio album was written and recorded in about a week in Devon in early 2008. Jocelyn Eve Stoker (born 11 April 1987) better known by her stage name Joss Stone is a British soul singer songwriter and actress.

She also 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. Her second album the equally multi-platinum Mind Body & Soul topped the UK Albums Chart for one week and spawned the top ten hit "You Had Me" Stone's most successful single on the UK Singles Chart to date. Both album and single each 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.
