"Tell Me 'bout It" is a song by English soul singer and songwriter Joss Stone from her third studio album, ''Introducing Joss Stone'' (2007). Written by Stone, Raphael Saadiq and Robert Ozuna (half of the duo Jake and the Phatman), the Saadiq-produced track was released in March 2007 as the album's lead single. It received its first play on BBC Radio 1's ''The Jo Whiley Show'' on 22 January 2007. The single debuted at number twenty-eight on the UK Singles Chart on 11 March 2007, but it fell to number forty the week after, staying on the chart for three weeks only. Having previously topped the U.S. Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, "Tell Me 'bout It" debuted on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 at number eighty-three in late March, becoming Stone's first solo single to enter the U.S. chart. The song was used in the second episode of the premiere season of The CW's series ''Gossip Girl'', entitled "The Wild Brunch", which originally aired on 25 September 2007. It was also used in the soundtrack to the 2007 EA Sports video game ''NBA Live 08''. It was later included on the 2011 compilation album ''The Best of Joss Stone 2003–2009''. ==Music video== The music video for "Tell Me 'bout It" was directed by Bryan Barber and filmed on location at 5 Pointz, an industrial building used as a graffiti space located in Queens, New York City. In December 2006, the place's owner, graffiti artist Jonathan "Meres" Cohen, received a phone call from a representative for Stone, asking him to use 5 Pointz as the backdrop for the single's video. He was initially unaware of who Stone was, but he eventually gave permission to her crew after speaking to her. Cohen would later be in charge of Stone's body painting for the cover art and the photo shoot of ''Introducing Joss Stone''. Accompanying its setting, the video is noted for its hip hop-related elements such as graffiti and breakdancers. It features cameo appearances by Saadiq, who appears at the beginning playing the bass, and Cohen, who is shown at the end doing a mural of Stone's face (reminiscent of her face on the cover of 2004's ''Mind Body & Soul''). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tell Me 'bout It」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
