Hear the premiere of "(For God's Sake) Give More Power to the People" below: The album also includes a more recent track, a soulful take on electro/indie act Broken Bells' The High Road." "I think 'High Road' is quite a different one for me," Stone told Billboard.com. "It's still soul but it's got a darker tone to it, certainly in the beginning of the song." The new album was recorded in Nashville, with musicians including Ernie Isley, Delbert McClinton and Clayton Ivey participating. While the album finds her getting back to her roots, the singer's looking forward to starting her second decade in the industry. "I guess the word that sums it up is freedom," she said. "I've set up my own record label so that I have the freedom to create music as art as opposed to purely looking at it as a product and that's a huge difference."
