Joss Stone has revealed that she began recording her forthcoming new album in secret to stop her label, EMI, from interfering with it.
Stone told The Daily Star: "I recorded the bulk of my new album in the space of a week in February this year. But 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 fucking 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. I recorded the album at my mum's house in Devon. It was like a building site at the time, so it was just me and a crew in two bare rooms with a mic".
It was in February that I was in Devon for my Grandmother's funeral and my sister saw Joss Stone open the passenger door of a car into a wall, which she also kept secret, from the driver that is. She's a secretive girl, that Joss Stone.
