Former Dover schoolgirl Joss Stone's third album, "Introducing Joss Stone" seems like an odd title for the third outing by an artist who has already sold 7.5 million albums worldwide.

But the19-year-old R&B singer says the album, really does mark a new beginning.

Joss who was born Joscelyn Stoker in Dover and attended school in the town debuted with the 2003 covers collection "The Soul Sessions," which sold nearly 1 million copies in the United States, hit No. 39 on the Billboard 200 and gave her two U.K. hits, including her version of the White Stripes' "Fell in Love With a Boy."

2004's "Mind Body & Soul" topped the charts in the UK and reached No. 11 on the Billboard 200.

However, she says, it felt rushed, and in hindsight, I didn't think it was a good album.

So despite such high-profile gigs as Live 8 and a Grammy Awards salute to Janis Joplin with Melissa Etheridge, Joss felt she had something to prove.

It looks like Joss could well have another huge success on her hands.
