Smooth, groovy, and with Scott not holding back her passionate vocals. Her best song IMO, features a seductive Scott singing about meeting her lover in the park at dark.
Moreover, the version featuring Mos Def is delightful. 2 features strong tracks and jazzy influences on " Golden," " Cross My Mind," " Bedda At Home," and " Talk to Me."Ī spoken word piece about falling in love, like most of Scott's lyrical content, which deal with love or relationships in some form, the smooth, jazzy accompanying music and hip-hop attitude work excellently. In addition to this album, her subsequent release, Beautifully Human: Words and Sounds Vol. In this intro album, she fuses soul, R&B, jazz, spoken word, and hip-hop for an enjoyable "urban" listen, my favorite tracks included below. Jill Scott's first album, after attaining some degree of fame through her collaboration with The Roots on "You Got Me" and their support for her career, the spoken word artist and singer has been doing her thing ever since for the primarily R&B-oriented audiences. When I went through my first neo-soul craze and obsession (as well as discovery of The Roots) of the last 3-4 years, finding Jill Scott, D'Angelo, early Erykah Badu, Bilal's first album, and additional hip-hop artists revealed the skills of these artists as vocalists and, in some cases, instrumentalists and producers.
I never listened to the entirety of the album until about 3 years ago though, largely due to my ignorance. Matter of fact, if I remember correctly, it was probably "A Long Walk" and perhaps "The Way" that got a lot of radio play on the R&B stations. Jilly from Philly is a soulstress whose music I recall hearing on the R&B radio stations in Milwaukee several years ago.
