Mind Body & Soul

Mind Body & Soul is the second studio album by English recording artist Joss Stone. Released in the United Kingdom on 27 September 2004 by Relentless Records, it is Stone's most successful album to date in the United Kingdom, where it debuted at number one and stayed atop for one week. This made Stone became the youngest female singer to top the UK Albums Chart-a record previously held by Avril Lavigne-, while Mind Body & Soul became the first number-one album for Relentless Records. Subsequently, the album became the UK's thirty-ninth best-selling album of 2004. It also debuted and peaked at number eleven on the US Billboard 200. Despite the album's success, none of the singles released were eligible to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. However, the album's third single, "Spoiled", managed to peak at number fifty-four on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. On 9 September 2005, Mind Body & Soul was certified triple platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), with sales of 1.2 million copies in the US. Additionally, the album was nominated for the 2005 Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album. The album's hidden track, "Daniel", is about Stone's former drug addict and armed robber half-brother, Daniel Skillin, who has the same mother as her. He was sent to HM Prison Ford in Arundel, West Sussex in 2000 for attempting to hold up a post office with a hammer. In June 2003, Skillin escaped from prison two months before his scheduled release. While on the run, he stole three cars and was sentenced to an additional fifteen months in jail. When released in 2004, he returned home to his family in Devon.
