Who else can infuse Jazz, R&B, Hip Hop and spoken word into one track and still manage to achieve lyrical symphony and a spellbinding sound? None other than the one and only poetic gem, Jill Scott.
Well known for her timeless sounds and hypnotic voice, she shot to stardom when she released her first album “Who is Jill Scott?”, which featured enchanting tracks such as “A Long Walk” and “Getting’ in the way”.
From then on Ms Scott only managed to go from strength to strength, walking away with a Grammy in 2005 for her melodious opus, “Cross My Mind”. In 2006, she released, “Collaborations”, an album summing up some of her previous works featuring highly talented artists such as Common, Mos Def, Kirk Franklin and many more.
Now she’s graced us with yet another comeback. With the release of “The real Thing. Words and sounds. Vol.3”, the bubbly songstress has blessed us once more with her eccentric sounds and awe-inspiring rhymes.
When listening to this album, I found myself melting in a string of euphonious sounds, something that I had never experienced before. These mind blowing tracks are unlike anything Jill Scott has ever done in the past. In this set, she serves us explosive tunes such as, “The real thing”, “Hate on me” and “Come see me” with straight-to-the-point lyrics and piercing tunes that take you to a place I can guarantee, you have yet to encounter.
However, if you are a true Jill Scott fan and have found yourself adapting stubbornly to her previous style, then this album could very well take some time before it grows on you. Nevertheless, once you fall in love with these songs, there is no way out.
“The Real Thing” is, without doubt, an Album that deserves to go into your music collection!
