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 Customer Reviews

Rating: - Another speedy delivery!I love this artist and I was so thankful to receive this CD quickly! Thank you! Rating: - Lovely Kick Back MusicI love all of Jill Scott's music, it's lovely to just have playing in the back ground while your working, cleaning, just chill'n. Rating: - Everyday is a Jill Scott DayYou can pop on this CD and just sit back or you can sing along. Certainly Jill made an impression on me. Sure, she's no Ruth Brown, Chaka Khan, or Gladys Knight for that matter, but she is JILL SCOTT and she is a stone cold singer ("singa"). This woman is skillful; she can scale it up high and bring it down low (lo') and hit falsetto and she blows! (Sometimes I get a glimpse of Ella Fitzgerald when Jill sings.) I love this album. AND I love her LIVE "Experience" album, too. Thanks, Jilly from Philly!!! Rating:  - Jill ScottJill Scott gives the word Diva true meaning. I admire and appreciate her awesome vocal skills.....what a talent. |
