Description

Author: Jill Scott

Release Date: 31-08-2004

Details: Amazon.ca While most neo-soulsters crank out albums like their hip-hop counterparts, Jill Scott takes a more traditional approach to her craft. Four years after the release of her debut, Who Is Jill Scott, Words & Sounds Vol. 1, Scott returns with the masterful Beautifully Human: Words & Sounds Vol. 2. The album features a collection of lush and hypnotic songs that will make you want to fall in love, live life, and be a better person all at the same time. Lead single « Golden » is a prime example of this. Set to a midtempo groove made for the dance floor, « Golden » is a shiny, beautifully-written narrative about living life to its fullest. The old-school R&B ballad vibe of « Petition » is reminiscent of Minnie Ripperton or early Chaka Khan. However, « Bedda at Home » is anything but laid back. Combining elements of jazz, soul, and old-school hip-hop breakbeats, Scott extols the greatness of her man with a swagger that can only be described as cool. Other highlights include « Family Reunion » and the socially conscious « Rasool. » The album’s only flaw may be that it ends too soon, but then again it’s always better to leave a listener wanting more. For Scott, being « Beautifully Human » means just that–finding the allure in all that life has to offer and that’s well worth the wait. –Rashaun Hall Product Description Long awaited follow up to double platinum « Who Is Jill Scott: Words & Sounds Vol.1 », released in 2000, features 16 songs (CD will have a hidden track not listed in credits).
