Joss Stone’s seventh solo album Water for Your Soul arrives in stores today, via her label Stone’d Records, and features musical inspiration from around the globe. Stone is currently on a true world tour (a “Total World Tour,” as she calls it) with the intention of hitting every single country on Earth. She says Swaziland in southern Africa has been her favorite gig so far, and she has picked up new instruments in India and other countries, not to mention different styles of singing, sounds, scales and ways to record.

Stone’s albums have moved fluidly from different genres: she was an R&B phenom, then rock, then funk. This amalgamation of sounds—both from her tour and her past albums—is evident on the new album, which heavily encompasses, among other inspirations, roots reggae. As our Ericka Blount Dubois discovered upon speaking with the dynamic British vocalist recently, Stone has the gift of being the consummate music student, constantly bending her style, borrowing and giving back.

....I really like what I heard from it so far....but I looked on the Amazon website and saw that there is a bonus CD: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZVSPMNQ

Has anyone heard the Amazon Exclusive Deluxe Edition Bonus Disc? I saw that George Clinton is on the "Underworld (Dub)" track but that just confused me? I'm not being mean, but the track with George Clinton kinda got me confused....has anyone heard the track with George Clinton on it?

If that track is good I might cop the Target version or something....?

This interview about it might sort of help somehow?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQmyy2dvtX0

I really like "The Answer", but the track with George Clinton kind of confuses me? Do they mean George Clinton from Funkadelic? I really am just wondering about the collaboration with George Clinton?
