Why CocoRosie are smarter than Joss Stone
It could just be because they've got a smarter mother.
Joss canned her ma, because she wanted a "proper" manager.
Sierra and Bianca Casaday, though, put their faith in their mother...:
"We recently hired our mom to manage us," Sierra announces. "She sent us a message today to tell us she got us our first contact in the record industry, a producer."
"Rick Rubin," Bianca says, questioningly. "What records did he do?"
Several multi-million-selling albums by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Bianca screws up her face. Beastie Boys. System of a Down. Johnny Cash. She looks rather nonplussed. "Did he do anything that's not rock?" she asks. Johnny Cash? Still no reaction. Johnny Cash is apparently not "not rock" enough.
"We don't like rock," she continues. "I think the electric guitar solo thing is... a little too macho. Dudes with guitars... not our thing."
"Rick Rubin," Bianca says, questioningly. "What records did he do?"

Maybe they could pass their mother on to Joss Stone?

Has Bianca Casady apologised for her racist statements about black people yet?
Do you mean the thing in the Washington Post? About Kill Whitey parties? As far as I know, she's not commented on it at all; although the existence of the clubs in the first place is pretty depressing.
I'm not sure the WP does really nail her as makng racist statements - it's not clear if the "vastly whiter scene" came from her or, more likely, the Post writer (it's not in quote marks) which makes what otherwise would be a less controversial statement seem weighted down. ("I feel safer amongst a bunch of middle-class hipster college kids I know" isn't really such a surprising thing for a middle-class hipster kid.)
Really, it's the attendance at such a patronising, hope-killing concept as Kill Whitey parties in the first place that she should be sorry about.
There is an interesting thing here, though: if she goes to these evenings because she loves urban music so much, how come she hadn't heard of Rick Rubin?
Do you know Spleen, a black artist from Paris,France?
He's a really good friend of her.
End of story.
