Joss
Stone: "Soul Lyrics Offer Love Clues for Guys" 2/29/08
Singer Joss Stone has urged men to pay attention to the lyrics of soul
classics - because the words offer tips on how to be the perfect lover.
The British soul star insists Stax and Motown standards offer clues on
how to woo a woman - and even modern singers like herself and India.Arie
know how to turn a song into a love anthem.
She says, "It's in all those household songs: 'Love me better, I
want to love you right, don't stand me up, don't disrespect me.' Soul
lyrics are the guide to the way women think.
"India.Arie wrote a song called Talk To Her. It goes, 'Don't get
smart with her, have a heart-to-heart with her, just like you would with
your daughter.'
That's good advice."
