Colour Me Free is the forthcoming fourth studio album by English soul singer–songwriter Joss Stone. Originally scheduled for an April 2009 release, Stone's label, EMI, pushed back the album's release to July;[1] it was ultimately confirmed to be released on October 20, 2009.[2] The lead single will be "Free Me".[3], which Stone said on German radio "is about being free in every sense especially in music senses." [4]
Producton and promotion
Stone stated that the album was written and recorded in about a week in Devon in early 2008, along with musicians and writers.[5] It was recorded at Mama Stone's—a music venue in Wellington, Somerset, owned by her mother, Wendy Joseph, which also enjoys recording studios and writing facilities—, where Stone also kicked off a promotional tour of concerts in several cities across the United Kingdom, including Bristol, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, and Dover.[6] Her only U.S. performances to support the release were at the 2009 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California, on 18 April and at Club Nokia in Los Angeles on 23 April.[7]
Conflict with record label
It has been reported that Stone is willing to forfeit £2 million to terminate her four-album deal with EMI due to her discontentment with the label after it was taken over by private equity firm Terra Firma in 2007, stating that they have "no working relationship." EMI refused to free her and is taking legal action in return, claiming she is in breach of contract by failing to deliver the master tapes for Colour Me Free. Stone expected to deliver the album in late 2008 so that it could be released in February 2009. "They were supposed to be launching the album in April but now they've postponed it until July. I just don't know what's happening with it. "They really need to pull their finger out. I've worked very hard on this record and I don't know what the plans are until EMI confirm a release date", she went on to say in March 2009.[8]
