"\r\nJoss Stone and Dave Stewart are having a moment. Last year the English soul singer hired the former Eurythmics member to produce her latest solo disc, LP1. Then Stewart drafted Stone into SuperHeavy, the globe-tripping all-star outfit that also includes Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones, reggae scion Damian Marley and Bollywood film-music giant A.R. Rahman. And last night at the Troubadour in Los Angeles the pair unveiled yet another project, the More Love tour. &amp;#x201C;We wrote a film, and we wrote a soundtrack,&amp;#x201D; Stone told the capacity crowd by way of explanation. &amp;#x201C;But we never made the film.&amp;#x201D;&amp;#xA0;The duo&amp;#x2019;s new show &amp;#x2013; which hits California&amp;#x2019;s Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Saturday before a Valentine&amp;#x2019;s Day appearance on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson &amp;#x2013; does indeed contain some fresh material: bluesy acoustic tunes like &amp;#x201C;What Are We Fighting For,&amp;#x201D; &amp;#x201C;Who Are We&amp;#x201D; and &amp;#x201C;Nowhere But Your Arms,&amp;#x201D; more than one of which seemed to make a rhyme last night of &amp;#x201C;together&amp;#x201D; and &amp;#x201C;forever.&amp;#x201D; (These two are serious about increasing the peace.) But More Love also draws from both artists&amp;#x2019; back catalogs, including Stone&amp;#x2019;s 2004 hit &amp;#x201C;You Had Me,&amp;#x201D; stuff from LP1 and &amp;#x2013; perhaps most excitingly &amp;#x2013; a handful of Eurythmics&amp;#x2019; &amp;#x2019;80s-pop classics.&amp;#xA0;Like all singers not named Annie Lennox, Stone didn&amp;#x2019;t quite conjure the deep mystery of Stewart&amp;#x2019;s former partner, even as she nailed the yodel-y bit in &amp;#x201C;Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).&amp;#x201D; But the young singer did tap a convincing melancholy for &amp;#x201C;Here Comes the Rain Again&amp;#x201D; and sounded great in an appealingly stripped-down version of &amp;#x201C;Who&amp;#x2019;s That Girl?&amp;#x201D; At the end of the 70-minute gig Stewart revved up the unmistakable punk-gospel guitar riff of &amp;#x201C;Missionary Man,&amp;#x201D; for which they were joined by Michael Jackson&amp;#x2019;s former guitarist Orianthi. (Hey, it&amp;#x2019;s Grammy Week in L.A.&amp;#x2013; what do you expect?)\r\nStone cut loose during the closer, working her melisma and flailing her long blonde hair like some kind of post-hippie love child. Behind his signature sunglasses-at-night, Stewart looked pleased as punch."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
