Free Music Notes for Beautifully Human: Words and Sounds, Vol. 2
Free Music Review: My First Real Exposure To The Force Known As Jill Scott
Hit: 4 Stars
Let me say right off the bat that I have listened to a lot of Jill Scott's stuff over the years but this is the first album I have ever purchased.
The song that sold me to this album was "Golden." I personally find it very inspirational and uplifting! The rest of the album was average to above average. "Golden", in my view, is the only standout track.
Many reviews say this is Jill's weakest album. Well, if this is her weakest, then I want to hear her best because her "weakest" impressed me enough to purchase her stuff in the future!
Beautifully Human: Words and Sounds, Vol. 2 Poster
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
