Rock In Rio 2024: In the age of bad taste and reproduction, Joss Stone exudes elegance and true talent


The British singer gave an impeccable show this Thursday 19th at Palco Mundo, also singing in Portuguese to tease her ex-boyfriend ‘vacilão’

It’s almost shocking to see the performance of Joss Stonewho performed on Thursday 19th at Palco Mundo do Rock in Rio. This is because, unlike most pop stars of the current generation, there is no reproduction (pre-recorded voices), hypersexualization or concerns extraneous to the musical content. Instead, English offers elegance and real talent.

The 37-year-old singer differs, for example, from her colleagues Karol G, Katy Perry, Zara Larsson and Iza, all of whom are present at the Rio festival and who tend to abuse bad sound and aesthetic taste. Joss, in fact, seems to have come out of the ’60s or ’70s, decades in which music took precedence over everything else.

The artist, smiling and friendly, went on stage barefoot, in an exuberant floral dress, at 7 pm, and performed a show that was rushed due to the limited time (only 60 minutes), but impeccable, to represent the two decades of music she has created since her debut In The Soul Sessions (2003)at 16. Her collection of old covers quickly elevated her to the status of “New Soul Diva” and catapulted her career.

She has already shown immediately what she came for and has achieved successes such as Star, You had Me and Super stupid love. In the latter, Joss fell into the arms of the crowd, attracting a herd of security guards and photographers. A scene that showed a rare connection between an artist and the fans of this festival. “We have little time here, so we want to deliver some jams heavy!” she announced, supported by the excellent backing band – highlighting the powerful brass section, backing vocals and guitarist Steven Down.

In another unusual moment, Joscelyn Eve Stoker (her name) made the audience laugh when she changed the lyrics of Mr. Wakerman from ‘Mr. Vacilão’, in good Portuguese, to deliver a high-level jab at his ex-boyfriend.

It is clear that musical quality is no longer the focus of Rock In Rio Soon, Joss’ show, which ended with mega success The right to be wrong, Sung in unison by the audience, it is already a candidate to be remembered as one of the best of this edition of the festival.

At the end of the Brazilian tour, which still passes through Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo and Belo Horizonte, the singer will have accumulated a total of 31 performances in the country with which she said she has a “family feeling”, as she said In interview with State.
