Why is she lip syncing? I was so confused at the first video I saw. I was thinking she was like Bessie Smith, rather than Blondie.

They lip sync in most music videos. The way they're dancing around outside, in cars, and the CGI add-ins make it impossible to always be mic'd in any quality way. Huge disparity between her voice and her looks...

I thought it was a someone pretending to sing along, rather than the actual singer.
Then I saw all the official videos had the same girl before the dim light bulb clicked on.
Like you said, trying to wrap your head around the voice and the expectation.
Bad Brains had the same thing happen at punk shows, some people didn't know they were black, always a hoot to see the confused faces.

That's cool life would be boring if we all liked the same things. I saw Joss Stone at the Ottawa jazz festival... also thought she was Black lol. She's an old soul and it shows. I don't dislike her music but I would really have to be in the mood for it otherwise it's too slow.

She sounds a lot like Joan Jett

Everything old is new again. Kinda like Greta Van Fleet sounding so much like Led Zeppelin.

To me she sounds like a more refined version of Janis Joplin. I haven't had a lot of exposure to Blues, mainly Colin James and BB King. I a big fan of Oscar Peterson for piano jazz, it's great for dinner parties or if you're trying to make an intimate atmosphere. My musical tastes are all over the place. I can listen to almost anything but gangster rap, country or classic rock.

Yeah, she's gorgeous, but I don't dig her voice. I sure would like to see you guys do some stuff to each other, though. Do you fuck with Joss Stone? Absolute best voice in contemporary music, imo. I fell in love with her from the first album, and I really thought she was an obese older black woman. After a couple of years of listening to her, I saw the she was actually a young, hot white girl from the UK!

In the UK they don't have black radio, they just play what is popular, no matter the genre, so Joss was raised on all the classics. She is a real deal R&B singer like we had in the 60's.

Pretty neat outfit, using falling water to pressure air. Quite a bit later than my area of expertise in water power. When I was writing I learned far more about the drivers of machinery in the early 18th century than anyone needs to know. Being limited by the geography of Chicod Creek in Northern Carolina, I used an undershot mill in my story.
