"There is no real ingenuity or innovation to it."
An eclectic release to say the least, Water For Your Soul draws its influence from a multitude of areas. Stone has taken components from her usual haunts as well as a decidedly Caribbean influence, and a helping of world-music vibrations. With such a healthy melting pot of motivations, Stone does a great job tying it together without the album coming across as scattered. That being said, the album lacks anything new and exciting. It is a solid release, however there is no real ingenuity or innovation to it.
