Real talk.
17/Jill Scott/The Light of the Sun
Jill Scott's The Light of the Sun is an open and refreshing rhythm & blues showcase for the wants, needs, and desires of a "real woman", a GROWN woman, "who's been down this road before". Jill Scott. "Friend to pen, lover of a strong woman, Diamond to men", utilizing everything inside of she, her mind, her heart, her voice, to speak on and understand this here game we play call love, and all of the accompanying rules of relations/attraction. A largely improvisational piece from a lioness fully in control of her instrument. "Thick. Not just just from bone dense and eat"; "Dickmatized"; "Missing You" and "Making You Wait"; In search of "something fit for a Queen". In The Light of the Sun, she is "all of this, and indeed, 'the shit'." We may have pondered "Who is Jill Scott?" three albums prior, but here, no such question lingers.
