The Soul Sessions was the debut album. It was released in the

The album consists of a collection of cover versions of 60s and
70s soul songs, in addition to a cover of a contemporary song.
The Soul Sessions was produced by Miami soul singer Betty
Wright. She worked with veteran Miami soul musicians Benny
Latimore, Little Beaver, and Timmy Thomas. She also worked

Stone and the alternative hip hop group The Roots.
Joss Stone told MTV News that she felt intimidated by the
credentials of the musicians that worked on the album. "It was
weird because they've worked with so many great, great
singers. I'm talking the best. I kind of walked in, just like this
little girl and started singing”. By the end of the session, she
had impressed everybody with her talent.
