Joss
Stone: "Naked Embrace With Saadiq is Nothing Sexual"
3/21/07
British soul star Joss Stone is racing to explain a saucy photo in the
booklet accompanying her new album - because fans think it confirms a
romance with producer Raphael Saadiq.
The sexy singer and Saadiq appear naked, in an embrace, with their
bodies painted for the eye-catching shot - but Stone insists it's supposed
to be an artistic statement, and nothing sexual.
Stone says, "It's a picture that everybody kind of looks at it
sexually, but it isn't... He (Saadiq) is from Oakland, I'm from Devon,
England; he is 40, I am 19; he is American, I'm English.
"It's, like, two completely different people. It says something
and I wanted to say something, otherwise there's no point in doing
it."
Stone has been romantically linked to Saadiq recently after producer
Dallas Austin sensationally claimed the singer had slept with her latest
collaborator while working on her new album, Introducing Joss Stone, in
the Bahamas.
