This new release from Joss Stone is not a cover of the similarly titled Minnie Riperton tune. However, it does share some of the luxurious sensuality of Riperton’s material. Stone’s powerhouse vocals are restrained here on this romantic slow-jam, where she dwells on the early days of a romance ripe with potential. “This was a song I wrote when [my husband] Cody and I had just started dating,” Stone explains. “I thought our nights round the fire were magical and wanted to write a song about those evenings that are so enjoyable they can run into the next day without anyone noticing… There’s something truly magical about those early days of falling in love. I wanted to capture that feeling where every word and glance is filled with sweetness.”
