In Philadelphia singer/songwriter Jill Scott, the R&B world may have the ultimate independent woman. Scott bares her soul elegantly and passionately, her heightened sense of self-possession allowing her to skirt the pitfalls of pretension. She follows up her groundbreaking 2000 debut (and a mostly live album) with an equally robust 2004 offering, BEAUTIFULLY HUMAN.
Although Scott started out in public performance as a poet, her true skill lies somewhere between poetry and prose. She's a gifted storyteller who knows the value of every word and syllable, and she unfolds her tales effortlessly, spellbindingly, whether the topic is a family picnic, a lost love, or a night of passion. Scott is aware of her every vulnerability, unafraid to admit her flaws through her expertly crafted yet wholly organic songs. Her singing is tough and sweet, like a latter-day Billie Holiday, over lush music as unique as her lyrics, drawing on everything from torch jazz to 1970s Philly soul. On BEAUTIFULLY HUMAN, Scott builds on the promise of her first release with a mature, knowing record--an essential neo-soul album.

'04年発表。まだアルバム1枚だったのか……とその貫禄、実力、そして破格のオーラに背筋を正した(ライブ盤を挟んでの)2nd。黒い太陽や蒼い炎を思わせるホットなのにフラットでスムースな肌触り。メロウな部分はより密に、密な部分はより濃密に煮込まれ、ここに至高のオーガニック・ソウルが誕生。料理でいえばアワビ粥。もうトロトロです。
