Editorial Review: Amazon.com's Best of 2000: Jill Scott's debut, Who Is Jill Scott?, is a luscious portrait of the artist as a grown woman. In R&B, black femininity has often been reduced to two dimensions: sex and materialism. But Scott lives in 3-D, and it shows in her voluptuous songwriting. She combines a beautiful voice with an extreme generosity of spirit, making her music a dreamy, soulful delight. Lizz Mendez Berry Amazon.com: Jill Scott is the singer-songwriter who wrote the unforgettable hook on the Roots' 'You Got Me.' Jill Scott is a better singer than the garble-mouthed Erykah Badu, who mangled those lines (albeit prettily) on the Roots' single. If Scott had sung them (which she does, and marvelously so, on the group's live album, The Roots Come Alive), we would have known what the hell the words were. Thankfully, Jill Scott has put out her own album, which exceeds all hook-derived expectations. She is, in fact, a wonder--a magically soulful tunesmith who writes tunes like 'The Way' and 'Watching Me' that feel as comfortable, warm, and sexy as Al Green on a cold day. And then she rips into the songs' haunting melodies with a gorgeous honey-crisp alto that'll leave you wanting more. --Sylvia W. Chan Average Rating:
 Rating: - I know who Jill Scott is?If you enjoy the sultry sounds of Floetry, Sade, Erika Badu, and other sexy poetic songs---you'll love this album by Jill Scott. After listening, you will definitely know who she is. Rating: - Ya betta chillJill Scott may not be known by the mainstream now, but trust me, in about 10 or 20 years, it won't be strange to hear her name in the same company of Minnie Ripperton, Sarah Vaughan, or Billie Holiday. Hell, her name fits now. She can coo and hit the whistle register like Minnie and take you to church like Mahalia or reach operatic highs and lows like Sarah and Leontyne Price. Amazing she is. She has unbelievable range, but even better restraint (Hello, a call for Christina Aguilera, please). Her ... Read More Rating: - Jill Scott's Debut I remember this album when I was 13. I love this album. It's soulful and consistent. This is an honestly erotic and animatedly sweet album, enigmatic unto question itself. Her articulation is clear and patient, toying with space and time. This album seeks to establish a multifaceted artist with real, feeling stories on paper. This album went 2x Platinum. Remember, this was 2000-2001. Rating: - B-E-A-UTIFUL!!!!As usual, Jill always delivers!! Each song, each melody! Her way of giving music that you can truly feel!! Gotta love her!! Gotta purchase this!! Enjoy! I still enjoy it!! Rating: - Another speedy delivery!I love this artist and I was so thankful to receive this CD quickly! Thank you! |
