Her debut album, The Soul Sessions, consists of classic soul tracks by Betty Wright, Aretha Franklin, Laura Lee and Bettye Swann and was released in late 2003. It reached the top 5 in the UK albums chart, and also made the top forty of the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart.
Joss Stone was nominated for "British Breakthrough Act", and won "British Female Solo Artist" and "British Urban Act", entering the Guinness World Records for being the youngest BRIT Award solo winner at age seventeen.
After achieving critical acclaim for The Soul Sessions, Stone recorded an album full of original songs in 2004 titled Mind, Body & Soul.
It proved to be an even bigger success than her first album, as it debuted at #1 in the UK (breaking the record for the youngest female ever to top the albums charts there, a record previously held by Avril Lavigne).
Stone began working on her third studio album, Introducing Joss Stone, at Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahamas, in May 2006.
It was released on 12 March 2007 in the UK on Virgin Records, involving production by Raphael Saadiq and collaborations with Lauryn Hill, Common and Joi.
Stone describes it as "truly me. That's why I'm calling it Introducing Joss Stone. These are my words, and this is who I am as an artist".
The album debuted and peaked at number twelve on the UK Albums Chart. It also debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 selling 118,000 copies in its first week, becoming the highest debut for a British solo female artist on the U.S. chart, surpassing the record previously held by Amy Winehouse with Back to Black. It has sold 60,000 copies in the UK since its release.
Joss Stone was nominated for the MOBO Award for "Best UK Female" in September 2007, but lost out to Amy Winehouse.
Tell Me 'Bout It, the album's lead single, debuted and peaked at number twenty-eight on the UK Singles Chart—where it stayed for three weeks only, and peaked at number eighty-three on the U.S Billboard Hot 100.
The second single, Tell Me What We're Gonna Do Now, a collaboration with rapper Common, made the top sixty-five of the U.S. Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.
Joss Stone turned its music video to a Product Red — this means that the video is available online over iTunes Store and that the gains from these sales revert to Product Red, an organisation which helps women and children in Africa affected by HIV and/or AIDS.
Joss Stone is the first artist to do this, entering the Guinness World Records once again.
On 4 October 2007, Stone's official website confirmed Baby Baby Baby as the album's third single.
Stone's fifth album, LP1 was released on 26 July 2011. The Somehow Songfacts says that the long player was the first release through Stone's own Stone'd Records and was recorded in just a week at Blackbird Studios in Nashville. Stone fought a legal battle with her record company EMI to release her from her contract and The LP1 album title signifies the fresh start the singer felt she was making.
Trivia:
Worryingly for fans of Stone, she recently confessed that singing is not a career she plans to stick to: she told a journalist recently that she would like to give it up in a few years to become a normal housewife with a husband and children.

It's been a long day and you and I are waiting
It's been a long time for us to sit and stay
It's been a long time since I saw you smiling
It's been a long while since you shed a tear

Sometimes words stay on the tip of my tongue
Gotta let them out for me boy
Sometimes words stay on the tip of my tongue
Someone help me please help me get him trough
Help me get him trough
Get him trough
It's been a long time since you and I were fighting
It's been a long while since you've shown me you care
It's been a cloudy time, no sunshine or light, it's been raining
I wanna tell those eyes it will be all right
Cause baby sometimes
Sometimes words stay on the tip of my tongue
There's an easy way but hard to let them out
Sometimes words stay on the tip of my tongue yeah

Joss Stone's song "Tip of My Tongue" is a love song that talks about the struggles of communication in a relationship, particularly when one person finds it hard to express their feelings verbally. The song's first verse talks about the long wait for communication between the two partners, who have not had a chance to sit and talk for a long while. The second verse refers to the cloudy time in their relationship, which seems to have been stuck in a rut, and the singer wishes to comfort her partner, who has shed tears in the past but has not been able to express himself lately.
The chorus talks about the difficulty in expressing one's feelings, with the words staying on the tip of the tongue. The singer desires the help of someone to let the words out, as there is an easy way but hard to let them out. The repetition of the chorus gives the impression that the singer is frustrated with the communication barrier in her relationship and wants to make things work by speaking up.
The bridge joins the chorus and talks about the need to help the partner through the problems in the relationship. The overall message of the song is that communication is vital in any relationship, and it takes effort from both partners to maintain a healthy and thriving relationship.

Such a beautiful song which the great Joss Stone has contributed to - she is greatly under-rated, and deserve more recognition - I am so glad that I discovered this awesome singer in 2003 when she was only 16 years old and, have watched and listened to her only mature in her talent and get better all the time. Nice song!!!
