Free Music Review: Jill is the real thing!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Jill Scott was introduced to the world on her aptly titled brilliant neo soul debut "Who is Jill Scott? (words and sounds Vol.1)" with it's jazz/soul/hip hop/poetry style, and here on her third studio release proper, she continues the trend, but with more jazzy flourishes. She co-wrote the classic Grammy winning "You got me" performed by The Roots with Erykah Badu, and we've been discovering more of her ever since.
Having experienced the vagaries of fame, as well as a brief marriage in the last few years, her lyrics as ever are cathartic, and the sound more mellow.
Opening things is the brief, hip hop styled "Let it be". Title track "The real thing" is full of wailing electric guitars giving a lite-rock feel, with Jill declaring she is the real thing. Lead off single "Hate on me" also guitar and horn driven set to heavy hip hop beats, is her retort to those hating on her because of her fame.
The airy, bouncy, bass heavy "Whenever you're around" belies the lyrics of the song; "cause I'm lonely/whenever you're around". Other standouts are the quiet storm feel of "Come see me", the brooding, spoken "Epiphany", "Only you" (with its deep bassline), and "Celibacy blues" (as its name implies, heavily blues styled).
Another classic from Ms Scott who always gives her fans the real thing!!
