Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com's Best of 2000
Jill Scott's debut, Who Is Jill Scott?, is a luscious portrait of the artist as a grown woman. In R&B, black femininity has often been reduced to two dimensions: sex and materialism. But Scott lives in 3-D, and it shows in her voluptuous songwriting. She combines a beautiful voice with an extreme generosity of spirit, making her music a dreamy, soulful delight. Lizz Mendez Berry

Jill Scott is the singer-songwriter who wrote the unforgettable hook on the Roots' "You Got Me." Jill Scott is a better singer than the garble-mouthed Erykah Badu, who mangled those lines (albeit prettily) on the Roots' single. If Scott had sung them (which she does, and marvelously so, on the group's live album, The Roots Come Alive), we would have known what the hell the words were. Thankfully, Jill Scott has put out her own album, which exceeds all hook-derived expectations. She is, in fact, a wonder--a magically soulful tunesmith who writes tunes like "The Way" and "Watching Me" that feel as comfortable, warm, and sexy as Al Green on a cold day. And then she rips into the songs' haunting melodies with a gorgeous honey-crisp alto that'll leave you wanting more. --Sylvia W. Chan

5 out of 5 stars Who Is Jill Scott? Words & Sounds, Vol. 1.......2007-07-21

I agree with previous posters that it's hard to expound further on this cd when others have so eloquently written their reviews of it but I love the artist and the cd so much that I'm going to add my two cents...

This is a disc that still gets constant play in my house, in the car & at work! There was such a huge buzz on Jill Scott prior to the release of her debut that I could not wait to get my hands on it. Every song & interlude just flows so magically into the track making this not only one of the best debuts by any artist but also one of the best "neo-soul" albums ever produced so those who still don't know who Jill Scott is but enjoy good music will not be sorry in adding this disc to their collection.

My fave tracks to this day are: THE WAY, I THINK IT'S BETTER, WATCHING ME, ONE IS THE MAGIC #, HE LOVES ME, IT'S LOVE & HONEY MOLASSES. Another honorable mention goes to LOVE RAIN (although I like this version very much, I adore how she switched it up on her live cd).

5 out of 5 stars If you didnt know...........2007-07-09

Jill Scott is a genius.Her voice is earthy, soft, powerful, flawless....mixed in with her poetic flair...this album is sexy, inspirational, and just somthing to sit back and groove to. Its mainly for mature listeners, but few young fans like myself can appreciate Jill Scott's many talents. Her music inspires your mind and turns you on, with her romantic and sexy poetry. She's the first of ther kind, with many artists following her pathway. Im not sure if she won grammy's for one but its Grammy worthy. I have all her albums and this is by far my favorite one.

5 out of 5 stars jill scott.......2007-06-30

her album is a story. each song takes you on a journey. not a lot of artist can do that.

5 out of 5 stars Jill Scott is Neo-Soul.......2007-06-27

I LOVE HER! LOVE HER! LOVE HER! This is the first cd that I played so much it started to skip. I enjoy how her similies for love, being a poet her melodic tunes and metaphorical stanzas profoundly inspire me. Buy "Jill Scott" cds and any cd she collaborates.

5 out of 5 stars OVER 500 PEOPLE TOOK TIME TO REVIEW THIS CD.... .......2007-05-18

So what more can I say except, I wish she could do it again.

    Jill, stepped on the scene and made absolutely sure that her presence was felt. Go Girl!

    5 out of 5 stars Realistically speaking.......2001-11-09

    This is a wakeup call for the ladies of the world. Not only did Ms. Scott mesmerize us with the sultry sounds of an experienced jazz singer, she also expressed a need for woman everywhere to look within themselves, and wake up to whats really going on with relationships, society, personal enrichment etc....a true "girl" CD.

    5 out of 5 stars she must have come to my house a read my journal.......2001-11-04

    I just don't know what to say. I am completly amazed by the kind of artistry this woman has shown us with this lovely collection of music. I am a singer myself and I hope that one day I too will make a CD that will touch one person as much as this cd has touched me.... If you don't have I dont know what ya waitin' for cause it doesn't get better than this

    5 out of 5 stars Speechless!!.......2001-06-11

    What is there to say? Jill Scott is Phenomenal!!!

    5 out of 5 stars sensual spiritual fonk.......2000-12-28

    this blend of sensual, spiritual fonk breathes confidence. it makes you laugh, sigh, moan, and "i feel you, sistah!" over and over. put this into your cd player or tape deck; add musiq, badu, realizm, and of course my cd, and you'll never need to change your programming. the girl has class, style and down-to-earth talent. the blend of down-home "sanging", jook joint style, spoken-word, blues, and smack-talking works with the rythmic sessions.
