Free Music Notes for Jill Scott Collaborations
Free Music Review: Smooth, silky, jazzy soul!!
Hit: 5 Stars
"Collaborations" is a stop gap release before Jill Scott's next studio CD, much like her live CD "Experience" was between her debut and sophomore studio discs.
This collection comprises collaborations with other artistes which have appeared on other artists CDs, (e.g. `Daydreamin' appeared on Lupe Fiasco's brilliant "Food & Liquor" CD, "Sometimes I wonder" appeared on Darius Rucker's debut solo disc "Back to then") or compilations ("8 minutes to sunrise" with Common appeared on the "Wild wild west" soundtrack, "Kingdom come" appeared on the "Kingdom come" soundtrack).
While there is nothing new here, it is great having all these songs in one place. The songs gently meander through a variety of styles: The jazzy- The brilliant horn/piano sprinkled "Let me" with Sergio Mendes and (Mr Ubiquitous) will.i.am, "Good morning heartache" where Jill duets with Chris Botti's excellent sax work, the trombone filled "Slide" with Jeff Bradshaw, and the more downbeat "God bless the child" with George Benson and Al Jarreau (the latter nominated for a Grammy).
The alternative tinged atmospheric "Daydreamin'" with Lupe Fiasco (which samples from the brilliant alternative rock song "Daydream in blue" by I Monster).
The Gospel tinged scat filled "Kingdom come" with Kirk Franklin.
Soothing retro soul ballads like "Sometimes I wonder" with Darius Rucker, and "One time" with Eric Robertson.
More upbeat Hip Hop like the superb "Love rain" (Head nod remix) with Mos Def, and the charming "The rain" with Will Smith.
Beautiful!!!
Jill Scott Collaborations Poster
Talent, Innovation, Style, Charisma, Passion and Versatility are just a few of the words that come to mind when people talk about the true artistry that has become Jill Scott's trademark.Jill's chameleon-like ability to passionately perform in an eclectic array of genres, from hip hop, to jazz, to urban alternative, to spoken word, to latin jazz and gospel, has led many of her fans and peers to call her "The Real Thing."
Jill Scott Collaborations is arguably the most unique set of collaborations by one artist ever assembled. The Jill Scott Collaborations CD has something for music fans of all types as it features many of Jill's collaborative efforts over the past six years including her incredible work with WILL SMITH, SERGIO MENDES AND WILL.I.AM of the Black Eyed Peas, MOS DEF, CHRIS BOTTI, AL JARREAU AND GEORGE BENSON, KIRK FRANKLIN, MOS DEF, LUPE FIASCO, and others.
At the time of its release, internet rumor had it that Collaborations was a "taster" project--that is, a sampler to whet listeners' appetites for Scott's long-awaited third solo album, due in summer of 2007. But Collaborations doesn't play like something you'd listen to once before throwing your napkin (or, more accurately, your earbuds) down. Not only does it genre-jump with the kind of precision you don't normally find in an artist pinned to a certain musical movement (in Scott's case, neo-soul), it throws the weight of its bold names around without straining or slacking under the pressure. The hit here is "Daydreamin'," a fuzz-encrusted slice of alternative hip-hop off Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor, but there's so many other full-bodied contenders for mass adoration it could easily be eclipsed as the favorite. They include the soul-soaked "Said Enough," with the unmistakable Isley Brothers; the noirish thumper "8 Minutes to Sunrise," with Common (who also gets "Funky for You" together with Bilal); and "Slide," maybe the sexiest jazz-and-R&B hybrid ever to heat up a mainstream diva's disc. On that track, credit goes to Jeff Bradshaw for brilliance with his brass. But consider it: how many other singers could pull off sultriness alongside a trombone? Scott is a shape-shifting vocal wonder; Collaborations is the latest evidence. --Tammy La Gorce
