How Joss Stone uses that range
Grit is the organizing principle: Stone adds rasp by compressing at the cords, then releases into clean warmth mid-phrase for contrast. Her low range near C3 keeps a cool, smoky cover, while belts toward G5 open into a wide, gospel-shaped vowel with fast vibrato arriving late. Runs are loose and behind the beat, more sung speech than drill. Copying her rasp with throat squeeze causes fatigue; the distortion rides on steady airflow and a released jaw.
