A neo-soul masterpiece that combines poetic words with warm soul.
Jill Scott's debut album combines the rhythmic sensibility of hip-hop with the warmth of 70s soul, earning her recognition as a leader of the new generation of soul music alongside Erykah Badu.
This album resonates with smooth grooves and poetic lyrics. The gentle tempos, exemplified by "A Long Walk" and "Gettin' in the Way," are imbued with powerful self-expression. Scott's voice is deep and rich, spanning R&B, jazz, and hip-hop. This album will remain a landmark in neo-soul history, organically expanding on the legacy of Erykah Badu.
