The Passion Jill

Twelve years without a single comment, it borders on contempt, so where to start?
Maybe just by the cover, in riddle form: guess who is the only whose shiny lips are visible, observe details as soft hat hiding his eyes or luxurious fabric of his jacket ... So many attires suggesting the understated elegance of the lady and the delicacy of this first game.
These "words and sounds" exactly who could have formed yet another nu-soul chimera, with growls whiny and forced poses, actually reflect the vision of a multifaceted woman. Tower Tower rapper and singer jazz, both poet and modern diva ("Do You Remember?"), The miss has a thousand ways to chant his burning texts. For it is the law of genre, the stories narrated here often give the lovers register or downright erotic ("Love Rain")! One is almost embarrassed listening to this intimacy spread in the open, if there was this haughty attitude, inseparable from the great tradition and Soul corollary of the African American emancipation. This is the subtlety of this music inherited from both the Gospel and Rhythm & Blues (as the founding principles of Ray Charles and others) capable to raise awareness with sensual and carnal fireworks.
A recipe that works well throughout the album, to the point that it is not necessary to wait for the hidden title (with Mos Def!) To answer the original question: we now know that is Jill Scott and there is a good chance that it will become difficult to dispense with his contagious enthusiasm.
