Published Wednesday, Apr 4 2007, 16:28 BST | By Nick Levine
DJ/producer Mark Ronson has criticised Joss Stone for having a "really annoying attitude".
Ronson, who has produced hits for Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen and Robbie Williams over the last year, was left speechless by the 7,000-word list of thank yous that Stone prepared for her Introducing Joss Stone album.
He told the NME: "Those Joss Stone sleevenotes, man... I've been around white singers who've been told they're soulful since a young age and they feel they have carte blanche to be 'I'm a down groovy soul chick' - this really annoying attitude that permeates everything.
"Part of me thinks, 'Well, she's 19, I did so many stupid things when I was 19,' but she's being rammed down my throat, so I'm allowed to have an opinion."
