Joss Stone on music, alleged murder plot
Los Angeles (CNN) -- With her easy laugh and free-spirited manner, Joss Stone doesn't seem like the intended victim of a foiled robbery-murder plot.
But less than one month before CNN sat down with the 24-year-old English soul singer, two men were arrested outside her home in the English countryside. Police found Samurai swords and a body bag on the suspects. Stone's father begged her to "book more gigs" so she wouldn't be home alone.
"I'm just chillin' out in Devon making my cupcakes, minding my own business, and these people ... with like Samurai swords and stuff, they definitely went 'Kill Bill' on it. It's like they watched too many movies," she recalls.
The incident came on the heels of a report that claimed she was one of the wealthiest female musicians in Great Britain.
"I know, man -- that almost got me killed! S**t like that gets people killed!" she exclaims. "I am not the wealthiest woman in England!"
Even so, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter remains one of her generation's most talented artists. Her debut EP, "The Soul Sessions," hit stores in 2003 -- when Stone was just 15 -- but it was clear a star was born, with an ageless, timeless quality to her gutsy vocals. Her long, blonde locks and bohemian vibe only contributed to the public's fascination. Three more albums followed.
Then after a costly battle to free herself from her label, EMI, Stone's fifth CD, "LP1," was released July 26 on her own Stone'd Records. It's a soul album, shot through with bursts of funk, gospel and rock, and recorded in Nashville, the country music capital of the world.
"It's nice and vibey," she says with a degree of pride.
Stone produced the project with Eurythmics co-founder Dave Stewart. The pair is also two-fifths of a supergroup with Mick Jagger called SuperHeavy, which also features reggae star Damian Marley and "Slumdog Millionaire" composer A.R. Rahman. Their self-titled CD streets September 27.
"I'm in a band!," Stone squeals incredulously. "I've never been in a band before. Dave Stewart called me one day and said, 'Hey Joss, I've got a really cool idea. Mick and I are going to make a band and we wondered, 'Do you want to be in our band?' I was like, 'Aw. I felt like I was in school. 'Yeah, I want to be in your band. Of course I do!'"
In a Q & A with CNN, Stone shares her thoughts on Mick, men, maturity, the murder plot and, of course, making music.

'Twilight' Studio Takes Legal Action In 'Breaking ... - Real Lyrics
In the release, the production company said the March leak came from the town of Posadas in northern Argentina, but since there may be more people involved, the investigation is still ongoing. Specifically, Summit is identifying Daiana Santia as allegedly being involved in the group that stole the images and footage. Civil action has been filed in the U.S. and Argentina, while criminal action has also been filed in Argentina. The images released were from Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward’s (Pattinson) honeymoon scene and some of the final shots of the flick when Bella transforms into a vampire.
When MTV News caught up with Pattinson shortly after the incident occurred, he was obviously very annoyed by the whole situation. “It’s just ridiculous. I literally can’t believe that it happened,” he said. “I want the ‘Twilight’ troops to mobilize, all the good fans, and find out who these little sh–s are and just hack into their computers and destroy them. … I’m being genuinely serious, ‘Twilight’ fans.”
Summit hired law firm Keats McFarland & Wilson LLP to search four continents (North America, South America, Europe and Australia) to find the people behind what director Bill Condon called a “deeply upsetting” experience. Summit Executive Vice President David C. Friedman released a statement in the press release about the situation, saying that a strong fan community should not result in property theft.
“While we very much appreciate the legions of committed fans of the franchise and encourage them to create community online, we cannot ignore that property was stolen,” he said. “It is not fair to the majority of fans that want to see the final chapter of the ‘Twilight Saga’ film franchise fully realized by the filmmaker and dedicated cast and crew to have these images out and available on the Internet.”
In the earlier MTV News interview, Pattinson said the people involved in the incident could not even be considered fans. “It’s raw footage; it’s not even what people are going to see,” he said “Why do this maliciously? You’re not a fan. You’re just a di–.”
