HOTT NEWS!

Singer JOSS STONE was so sure that her new record Color Me Free would be a hit, she was willing to do anything to get it out the door. When parent company EMI began to hedge its bets, worried about the commerical appeal of the material on the record, Stone went so far as to offer up her own home as a way making sure the record saw the light of day.

Says Stone, “It got to the point where I said, ‘Take my house and release the record’. The thing is, I just made an album and I wanted people to like it. I did not think anything of it. Why did it have to be a big deal? Why does it have to focus on being a number one song? F— that, I can’t be bothered.”

EMI eventually agreed to release Color Me Free, but refused to release any of their budget to promote the release. Despite the setbacks, Joss remains positive about her chances of the LP doing well.

She added: “EMI were running a business. It’s not about you having a lovely time in the studio… so it’s got a low budget? That’s fine by me. I just wanted to have artistic freedom. I’m tired of all the silliness. We will cross our fingers and see what we can muster. We’ll maybe see what we can do ourselves.”
