Joss Stone is an English singer-songwriter who's music styles include soul, R&B and blues. Her music is reminiscent of r&b and funk music and some songs have a more rock influenced sound to them I think.
The branding of Joss Stone shows influences from 60s and 70s funk and jazz music as shown through the swirly colourful designs and the typeface styles used. One cover depicts Joss Stone covered in hippy-like paintings and lines, e.g.- the piece symbol and a love heart. However the album covers definately have a more contemporary feel about them. This swirly floral style is similar to the floral imagery used in Corinne Bailey Rae's album covers. Joss Stone's album covers are bright and colourful with lots of reds, purples and greens and yellows.
Bright colourful designs seem to be a common visual theme running through all the artists I've looked at so far and I can see now what my client meant by 'bright imagery with a retro feel'.
