Austin says Joss Stone uses sex to get on

Producer Dallas Austin has made unpleasant claims about Joss Stone in an interview with rowdy.tv, saying she slept with collaborators to get ahead.

No, not the whole of SXSW, but music producer Dallas Austin. He has said some pretty unpleasant things about Joss Stone in an interview with rowdy.tv, claiming that the singer has been "fucking for tracks" - ie, sleeping with her collaborators to get as much as possible out of them.

Referring to musician Novel and producer Raphael Saadiq, both of whom worked on her new album, Austin said: "It's not my problem that she fucked Novel and then she fucked Saadiq. You go in the studio and girls like Joss are just trying to get as much attention as they can from producers: "The girls in studios and producers are known to have relationships. Novel rang me every five minutes saying she was the most wonderful girl in the world, I said, 'Don't fall for that shit!' If you want to do that kind of shit then keep it in its place".
