I stil haven't given y'all my promised pop concert review so, here it is! On the first of February I made a trip to the Paradiso in Amsterdam to see the amazing Joss Stone. This concert was one I will never forget and I could just not stop dancing. This music is straight up groovy soul and makes you feel so good. The first thing that amazed me was what a great person Joss is. She gives of so much positive energy and she really feeds the crowd. She is a very special presence and a singer of a unique caliber. Her voice is so powerful and so musical! The feel she has and the way she phrases her lines and places her vibrato is simply out of this world. Next to the very pretty Joss Stone most of my attention was geared towards the drummer. This cat was so good I could believe what I was looking at. His grooves where so solid and his fills where so tasty! I do not care how "hot" Joss Stone is, this drummer was just one of a kind. I must give my compliments to the whole band. She tours with one of the best session musicians from the UK and this could definitely be heard. The whole band just played tight and in the pocket and this is really what you should do when playing soul/funk/r&b. Every band member took their liberties when allowed and for the rest they just kept pocket and grooved and served as an extension of Joss Stone's fantastic talent! If you ever get the chance to check out this girl life just take it because you will be amazed.
Cheers and thanks for reading,
Drew
