The songs on the album 'Wake Up' and 'Underworld' I wrote ages ago, with no real plan of them going on a record. Then I met Damien Marley when we were working on the Superheavy stuff and we started writing songs in the spare time we had between the sessions. I developed such a strong love for reggae music'In 2014, Stone also worked with members Joe Broughton and Paloma Trigas, who provided string parts for the album.

Now more comfortable in the studio, she glides effortlessly around the grooves.'
He concluded with: 'As a singer who charted her own course while others faltered, hers is now a talent in full bloom.' In a three of five star review for the, Caroline Sullivan wrote: 'the pro- track Sensimilla will prompt mass eye-rolling because of her decision to sing part of it in, and Harry’s Symphony likewise (her accent – “If you want to get ‘igh, bring your own supply” etc. – turns it into Stone’s own, which probably wasn’t the intention).'

In a two of five star review for popcrush.com Matthew Scott Donnelly wrote that: 'Water for Your Soul, the artist’s 14-track ska/reggae experiment, is a risk with no reward.'

Bland and with no sense of genuine style or direction.'
