I was shocked by the crappy revuew Rolling Stone gave Joss Stone's latest album, Soul Sessions 2, saying she "steamrolled" all the songs. Maybe people just aren't used to such a powerful voice. Caitlin Rose's voice is good already, and I think it has a lot of room to mature, and it will only get better as she gains more experience. As for Grace Potter, I highly recommend the albums "This is Somewhere" and "Nothing But the Water."
Tbh i only heard "Nick of time" and "Slipstream", and surprisingly i preferred "Slipstream". I know that doesn't make sense, "Nick of time" is a landmark...
I need to listen to Joss Stone's latest album. I don't read Rolling Stone anymore, they are full of crap. i only trust allmusic (http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-so...2-mw0002392823).
I will listen to Grace Potter, you're not the first who recommends it .

I had legit conversations over twitter (@brittkeating) and surprisingly a long conversation texting as well. My friend was over and we decided to just try it..not thinking it was the right number or that we would get a response. But Este was great! And seriously seemed like she wants to try to have a dance party and hang after their show. I'm down. Lol.
I just followed you (MY TWITTER BACKGROUND IS A JOKE don't take that seriously, a friend of mine did that.) (i'm @tatjana_us).
Never seen anyone as outgoing as Este. But she's also really smart and has great taste. I usually prefer the shy ones but she is just great and if you want to party with her, she'll be up for it for sure. But you probably know her better than i do honestly. I only had a 5 minutes conversation with her.
