Jill is a revelation magnet. Whether in concert, recording a song, writing, acting or simple conversation, Jill provokes epiphanies in the people around her (“epiphany” ironically was one of Jill’s choices for the title of her debut CD.) Perhaps it is because she’s so excruciatingly honest and unafraid to air her true feelings that listeners recognize and awakens some of those same truths inside themselves.
From the very beginning, our mailbox, website and phone lines have been inundated by folks touched by Jill’s work sharing story after story of the personal epiphanies her creations has caused. There have been numerous emails and letters from folks sharing life changing memories crediting Jill’s music as the source of their revelations. In one particularly dramatic story, a woman wrote describing herself at her windows ledge trying to muster the strength to jump, when, at 3AM in the morning, “GOLDEN” (the 1st single from her last effort, “Beautifully Human”) pierced the airwaves from a small clock radio causing her to step down. Remarkably, this is not the only aborted suicide attempt letter associated with Jill recordings that made its way through our offices.
Obviously, not all communication regarding Jill’s gifts concerned matters of life and death but a great many dealt with some of life’s most serious matters. For example, a wife wrote that Jill’s 6AM performance of “The Fact Is (I Need You)” on the Tom Joyner Sky Show, was the catalyst for she and her husband to reconcile and abandon the divorce proceedings that were to begin the same day.
We’re proud of all the evidence of those who have dug a little deeper and have found those truths, both painful and joyous, tucked within every carefully selected note and word on her offerings. This third studio project is no different than those that have preceded it. One difference however, is that the author is now a little older, a little wiser and now chocked full of experiences making it difficult to see the world in neat nuanced black & white.
During the process of the completion of this record, Jill experienced some of life’s highest highs and lowest lows. She embraced these peaks, valleys and everything in between, and translated them into words and sounds like a geyser takes stagnant water down deep beneath the surface and turns it into a brilliant aerial display.
Jill was so prolific during this period that the almost daily conversations and iChat transfers of the day’s previous works was like finding brand new presents under the Christmas tree well after the usual holiday season. For example, Jill found some rather mean folks spewing negativity about her in a forum on the Internet. She sat and read every single comment and instead of sitting down to post a reply, she took that energy into the studio and Voila! “Hate on Me” appeared, in the basic form as contained in this recording what seems like the very next day. There’s a similar story for every song on this record. In a sense, all the selections here are rooted in truth. Within these truths shared by Ms. Scott, we believe there are many more revelations for her listeners to come.
At the moment that this project is being sent to the plants for production Jill is thousands of miles from her Philly home, in Botswana, on the set of “Number 1 Lady Detective Agency”. At this moment she is working grueling long days as an actress with virtually no free time and is not making “music”, nevertheless the observations and revelations that characterize her recordings keep coming. Just the other day in discussing her Botswanian experience, Jill revealed her own revelation on how her North American perspective had framed her reference in ways that now, living abroad has been shattered. Noting how she will return to the States a forever changed person for the experience she pointed out how in Botswana there is no translation for “bastard” and delights at how the natives there laugh at the “silly” notion of a “fatherless child.” When seeking the translation. “For how can one be born without a father?” she heard over and over and now agrees, as we all must, that indeed this easily accepted notion is actually a strange concept.
One thing is for certain; Jill’s revelations such as the Western notion of a “Bastard” will likely find themselves in a song and will inspire listeners to personal revelations of their own.
THE REAL THING is chocked full of such moments and we hope it not only fulfills you with a lifetime of pleasures but may also inspire some revelations of your own until the next round being cooked up at this very moment in the original continent are served.

I love ur music i have all Ms.Scotts cd except the Collabo cd. Just Found out about that 1. But the new cd is hot. Thats all i really listen to since i brought it. You are a great artist who writes good music. I was going to get your cd anyway but when you were on Steve Harvey Morning show I rushed to go get it. I don’t know how you feel when you sing “My love” but you sing like you are feeling that. My wish is to catch you on tour next time you go out. Keep up the good work.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Jill you are amazing!!!!! I’ve loved your music since DAY ONE! You voice is haunting, melodic, and beautiful! Your lyrics are inspirational and truly poetic. YOU ARE DEEP!!! I had to by the delux CD just to listen to “Imagination”…one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard! I love every song, but especially Imagination, Crown Royal, Wanna be Loved and Insomnia. Keep blessing us with your soulful sounds. We need you.
May 13th, 2008 at 10:48 am
I consider myself an average fan of JILL SCOTTS, i heard second hand that Vol 3 was just ok. I just purchased the CD and i will never trust another person’s ears again. THIS CD IS UNBELIEVEABLE!!!! GET IT, GET IT, GET IT!!!!! DID I SAY “GET IT” if you are a fan of JILL SCOTT she definitely delivers another brilliant listening experience. INCREDIBLE CD. CAN’T PLAYING IT. MY WIFE IS GETTING ANGRY. LOL
May 13th, 2008 at 7:51 am
OMG!!! I listen to this album every moring and whenever I need to relax. It just does it for me. I listen to the other albums as well, but it is something about The Real Thing: Words & Sounds, Vol. 3 that takes me to my own personal place!
—Ms. JIll SCott, may GOD continue to bless ur voice and you as a person. HE has truely blessed you with a gift. Keep doing what you do and I will keep supporting you!
May 13th, 2008 at 7:33 am
Flawless…Jill’s music is like good sex.
May 12th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
Celebacy, and Wanna be Loved, are my favorits.it takes me backin the day. When truth came out in the music, when exceptional artist like Jill Scott, makes you want to be with the one you love , you rock Jill.

Simply Beautiful…..
May 12th, 2008 at 2:06 am
Outstanding piece of art, which beautifully illustrates feelings that other singers don’t bother to portray. there is a song for everyone; whether u tired of the haters or in a painful relationship. could not have asked for a better album. you can listen to the whole cd without skipping a single track. my favourite though has to be “come see me”, with the beautiful instruments. outstanding work!!!!
May 8th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
It told my life like you read my diary esp. Whenever your around that one tells my story. thank you my sister!
May 6th, 2008 at 9:06 am
If you have to ask, don’t waste your time. Remarkable! Consistent! Outstanding. Just throw the “Dictionary of Good Vibes” in this space. Jill Scott continues to amaze me and all of her fans.
Jill don’t change your style. If you do Baltimore will never be the same.
May 5th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
There is something about this album that is so magical so grasping an so honest u feel a sense of …..wow by the time you get to the last track!!!I loved it an each day i discover new things about the words in the disk….The track Imagination,i have one word that i guess sums up every about the album…WOW!!!WHAT A SONG!!!taken from the first encounter of the with song…..I enjoy your music Jill Scott an given the chance to met u i would love it so much!

May 3rd, 2008 at 3:30 pm
The poetry and soul in Jill’s music is a sweet sound to the ear. Something great for every woman to listen to… But I recommend it for eveyone, if you can handle the soul…
April 30th, 2008 at 11:17 am
I just wanna say that JILL SCOTT is a wonderful song writer and I love her new songs. Jill has never let me down and one day I am sure that we will sing on an album together. You are a great at telling a story (bringing your songs to life) I wish only the best for you. Also, you did a great job in Tyler Perry’s film. God Bless!!
April 28th, 2008 at 5:10 pm

April 21st, 2008 at 11:40 pm
Crown Royal is soooooooooo smooth. I let my Man listen to this tonight and he loved it. I just wish the song was longer, perhaps if a re-release was about five minutes…1:48 with the verses and the additional with just the music (instrumental). Thanks Jill Scott for your wonderful contribution to music. Keep Grooving!!
April 20th, 2008 at 10:57 am
Jill , this album simply lifts my spirit. When are you coming to South Africa to perform?
April 20th, 2008 at 7:03 am
Jill is such a complete artist! She is one of the most soulful, poetic artist I’ve heard since listening to Aretha Franklin recordings as a child.
I put her in the catergory with artist such as Aretha and Etta James to name a few.
Her brillance and voice are a devine gift to humanity.
April 19th, 2008 at 3:25 am
hey Ms Jill.What ever i see that has ur name on it.gets my attention.Why did i get merried movie…Ohh great…i must say “is it the way, u love me,babe” i’ mad bout ya
God bless you…dont u wanna come to Johannesburg and give us a perfomance?
April 17th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
This album heightened my sensuality about myself. Jill is a poet of sensuality and romance, and truth, and ALL THAT!
April 16th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
I love this album. It’s so powerful and uplifting. This album helped me with some personal issues that iI was dealing with. Thank you. Loved your performance at Jazz Fest ‘07 in New Orleans, La. Can’t wait to see you at Essence Festival.
April 16th, 2008 at 8:02 am
i’m very much in love with this album. love every song and track. keep up the good work.
April 15th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
What!!!! How it makes you feel? I can’t speak for anyone else, but her songs and the lyrics to the songs make me feel alive, it speaks to my soul, it moves me, it makes me want to love deeper and deeper (Honestly, Honestly, it allows me to explore, find and discover the true Black Queen I have grown to be…..Her CD(s) are a Masterpiece….There’s none like it. Much Love to you Jill Scott, Much Love.
April 14th, 2008 at 6:45 pm
She is definitely the “Real thing in stereo”
April 14th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
I never thought I would say this but …….Move Over Aretha!!!!!!!
April 14th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
The next Marvin Gaye is all i can say about Ms. Scott. She moves me.
April 14th, 2008 at 6:04 pm
THIS ALBUM IS THE BOMB!!!! I LISTEN TO IT DAILY, JILL SCOTT IS THE TRUTH OF NEOSOUL
April 13th, 2008 at 9:40 am
Jill got straight DISRESPECTFUL on this one right here!!! YOU HAVE NO COMPETITION JILL!!! This is the best album of them all!!! I am a fan for life!!!
April 11th, 2008 at 6:50 am
Girl you are what you are just fab-u-las.
great music it is what it is.
April 10th, 2008 at 8:07 pm
Jill is my all time and i mean all time fav artist. She gets me through what ever it is i’m going through. She inspires me to be the realist black women i can be. I love you girl. Your the bomb and then some.
April 9th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
The more i listen to this CD the better it sounds to me….. you are just getting better sista. I really want to see you live again that’s was a awsome experience for me.
April 8th, 2008 at 8:20 am
I FIRST HEARD THE ENTIRE ALBUM WHILE ON A DRIVE WITH A MALE FRIEND AND BELEAVE ME IT WAS HARD TO KEEP DRIVING AND TO NOT WANT TO PULL OVER TO EXPLORE OUR OWN CROWN ROYAL ON ICE. LOL. JILL YOU ARE THE TRUTH IN SO MANY WAYS. YOUR POETIC EXPRESSIONS OF A STRONG, EXPLORATION, DEEP, VIVID WOMAN MAKES ME MORE THAN PROUD TO BE ONE MYSELF. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO. LOVE ALWAYS YOUR SISTER IN MY HEAD AND HEART.
April 7th, 2008 at 8:24 pm

April 4th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
This album is the real thing. I saw Jill in Philly in March and she was PHENOMONAL. This was the 5th time I saw her and she gets better with time-just like wine. May you be blessed for sharing yourself with us normal folks. Keep on doing what you do….
April 4th, 2008 at 9:24 am
jll scott music is true and passionate. When I listen to her music I feel like Im in a world of love, passion, soul, and freedom. Jill keep on keep’n on cause sista you a woman full of soul that no one cant take from you.
April 4th, 2008 at 7:43 am
Jill Scott, this album, poetry, life that you have recorded worked hard on or even blessed me with has really inspired me as a eighteen year old to write more everyday. I purchased the “The Real Thing: Words and Sounds Vol. 3″ and I automatically can’t get enough of this sound that you have created. The songs that honestly registered to me or even helped me was “Hate on Me” because it enlightened my soul and pressed me to move forward and let haters do whats best and thats hate. Altough I am young, I have a very mature mind. So songs like “Celebicay Blues, Come See Me, THE REAL THING, CROWN ROYAL, ALL I, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST MY LOVE AND EPHIPHANY,” Have really made me realize that sex can be mentioned in a respectfull way and apprecitated. When I was in the car i was listening to Come See about 1hour and 30minutes strait and i got a call from my boyfriends and he said he wanted to COME SEE ME!!! I actually thought that was pretty scarry but your music must have gottne to his soul in some way. Then he kept saying on the phone go home and get dressed nicely so, i put on my simple black dress and heel and pulled down my body wrap and he picked me up and he took me to Downtown Little Rock and we went on a romantic date. So, your music/poetry/soul has inspired my “eightneen year old”lol relationship so I appreciate you soooooo much…Jill Scott
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:22 pm
I love all of you music. This CD is the bomb. I can’t get enough of it. Jill, I must say that you are a beautiful young lady. When I see you and hear you, I must say that I am really proud to be a black woman. May God Continue To Bless You In All Of Your Endevors.
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:34 pm
Jill. I love your music..My husband loves it too. We just saw you on My B’day March 30th, in Birmingham, Al..You were so so good! When I say you keep it so real! You are beautiful inside and out. Thanks for your music. I have all of it and I have not been disappointed yet. Happy B’day also!
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:55 am
I love this album…especially listen & wanna be loved. Wanna be loved ministers to me I wish it’d been out during my divorse this song would and should help so many. Crown Royal the music is my vibe not the drink as I do not drink but I love the vibe & feeling of this song.
Jill has been phenomenal in everything she does i.e acting singing poetry. She is truly a blessed woman I hope she knows this and thanks God for her gifts cause that what she is a gift.
People say I favor her and they just automatically know I love her music & style by my style & look…it’s an honor to be compared. I’m mostly into Gospel/Jazz.
I hope Jill & Karen Clark-Sheard do something together in the future another person I’ve loved since childhood.
May you guys can send a whisper to them for me.

I have been listening to all of Jill’s Cds lately because she sings to me. Every song, I find myself in. I thank God for her talent because we need real music, and Jill is The Real Thing.
April 2nd, 2008 at 7:04 am
I absolutely love the song My Love! It’s amazing. The stings on that song are so beautiful. It’s just no words to describe. Keep them coming and I’ll keep on buying!!!
April 1st, 2008 at 9:56 pm
Jill,
Woman your CD is SO So HOT! But, Where the heck is the “Imagination” song. It’s not on the CD and I absolutely love it. Please tell me how i can get it. PLEASE, PLEASE PLEase……..tell me. Keep bringing it, JILL!!!
March 31st, 2008 at 4:56 pm
I echo a listener who said ‘If you haven’t bought this disc yet, you need to’. Ms. Scott showed her musical prowess in her `Collaborations’ album. Here she goes much further. From the get-go, she establishes herself as a powerhouse earth mother in ‘Real Thing’, with its ’70s vibe, and ‘Hate on Me’. The other tracks in the album are just as strong. ‘Come See Me’ makes you just want to curl up in bed with your loved one, and ‘Crown Royal’ affirms, as only Ms. Scott’s lyrics can, why you fell in love with your beloved to begin with. It is on par, if not surpasses the very best of them.
March 30th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
loving this cd it’s like i can relate to so many songs on this cd llllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it
March 29th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
This CD has been in my CD player since the day I purchased it, IT IS THE BEST. It is amazing what a woman can produce after going through a break-up. Your EX should be ashamed to be considered the EX of Jill Scott. Just like the movie “Why did I get married”. You are truly a DIVA.
March 29th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
I absolutely love this album, I can feel you all the way on these mental trips of play on words that you take us through when listening to your mello and HOT tones.. This is by far the best album out today!! Jill keep doin the damn thing…
March 28th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
This is that deal! Every song on “The Real Thing” is phenomenal!! Jill, you are remarkably gifted!! You are the realest of the real!
March 28th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
At this present time I do not have Jill Scott’s latest CD. However after listening to it online, I especially like #7, it reminds me of a special person in my life. I will definitely purchasing this CD. Don’t get me wrong I have purchase Jill Scott’s previous cd’s and I love her music.
March 27th, 2008 at 5:58 pm
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE JILL SCOTT….!!!! ALL OF HER CD’S ARE THE BEST!!! BIG FAN. I WAS SO MAD WHEN I MISSED HER IN CONCERT.. BUT I CALLED OUTTA WORK TO GO OUTTA STATE FOR THE CONCERT IN JAN. DON’T TELL MY BOSS. LOVE YOU GIRL.
March 27th, 2008 at 9:09 am

TRULY YOU HAVE TO START FROM HER FIRST ALBUM THEN WORK YOUR WAY DOWN SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND HER JUST LIKE I DO THANK YOU JILL GOD BLESS YOU
March 26th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
hi i just want to say that i love jill scott i have everything that she has performed including her book of poetry this album the real thing has touched me in a special way it has a lot of life lessons in each tune and note sometimes we think that we are the only ones going through some things we tend to put stars in a catergory that makes them almost infalliable to us but if you sit down and just listen to some of jills music you will see that she is just like us one of my girls and her music will help get you through some of those tough times that we all go through in life to get to the good i just saw jill in concert last week in pittsburgh pa. and i’ve got to to tell you that it was well worth the money my girl sang for 2 hours and did not miss a beat oh yeah you go girl for telling that brother to chill out you know the one who kept interrupting you when you were talking i am so glad that you finally came here well i have to finish dinner just wanted to say i appreciate you and thanks for the wonderful,heartfelt,and slamming,jams you are by far my favorite lyricist keep up the good work…love me some jill…smooches…poof
March 25th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
This CD is absolutely Magnificent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 24th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Hello Miss Scott! I applaud you for bringing an air of excitement to the music industry! Your music has touched many a soul, including mine! My 12 yr old baby girl, JohnAisha, adores you! You got her through trying times when the kids at school would tease and make fun of her–but because of your soothing, uplifting, strong and empowering voice coming through the speakers–she was and is able to get through each day!
Your song “Golden” is also the inspiration to my creating a website (and hopefully a private concert date-paid in full, of course!) with you-in appreciation of girls who want to do the RIGHT thing and go to school, sidestepping unwanted and unplanned pregnancy can be proud that they did! Much love to you…now I just have to figurep out who to contact in order to book you for an unforgettable concert!
Love, Always,
Audrey
March 24th, 2008 at 10:31 am
Thank you Jill!!! This album is absolutely the best! I listen to it constantly. Your words are truly inspiring. Come See Me is my favorite……if we just keep the passion and desire, we can make it through anything. Crown Royal……what can I say?!!! I think we’ve all had that experience (or at least we should!). Jill, I saw your show on Easter Sunday in Chicago. I’ve never been to a show as fabulous as yours. From beginning to end, I was totally into it. It felt like I was watching a best friend perform. Thank you for sharing your experiences and your wisdom with the audience.
From one of your “nasty” fans………Kim
March 23rd, 2008 at 8:34 am
The real thing:
More mafioso than any hip hop album. Jill Scott again sets the record straight showing the power she, as a black woman, possesses. This album is definitely one of those that must be played from start to stop. Seriously, this is more than just an album. This is more like an entry from the personal life and diary of a dynamic woman.
March 22nd, 2008 at 11:37 pm
Jill I don’t know if u will ever read this yourself but girl THANK UUUUUUUUUU! My son calls your music the theme songs to my life, and not even knowing what is really going on in his mother’s life. Comes to Light, how did u know about me, how do u know me. Jill, u wrote this for me and that song is how I get through my every day. Your music is the only way I would cook… if not it is not made with LOVE. Just u are so naturally f—ing awesome. Tell Moms I such thank u for creating such a miracle. This album was nothing less than phenominal.
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:42 pm

March 22nd, 2008 at 4:19 pm
I have always been a jill scott fan since the first CD, and she just keeps getting better, Just wanna be loved is the jam, and something people can relate too, “Whenever your around is too me the dopest track on the CD, and then Crown Royal is a nice jazzy joint, overall there is a litle bit of everything on this CD for everyone. When i bought Jill’s very first CD, i had never even heard of her and bought her CD out of curiosity, I have been a huge fan ever since!! Go out and buy ” The Real thing” and if you dont have her old CD’s grab those too, you will be glad you did>>>>>
March 21st, 2008 at 6:26 pm
every jill scott cd is a classic.
March 19th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
every CD that you make is better than the one before and i just can’t get enough… I love how your songs are from the heart and you can just feel your music I love Crown royal and Wanna be loved just Magic and I can’t wait to see you in concert this Fri at the Fox Theater in Detroit..

First time listening to the new CD. The songs I picked as my favorites, so far are My Love, Come See Me, Insomnia, All I and Breathe . Luv the messages from the all the songs on the CD.
March 18th, 2008 at 8:57 am
Everytime jill comes out with a album I have to get it. I am a serious fan with every album in hand. And when you think she can top the previous one she stikes gold. Sad to say I missed her concert in DC. Please come back!!!The tickets were selling like hotcakes.
March 17th, 2008 at 8:53 am
I love Jill’s latest - as I do all of her previous albums. I jus have one complaint: why is Crown Royal only a minute and 48 seconds??!!! LOL!!!
March 17th, 2008 at 6:59 am
this is the most soulful and sensual album have ever heard. bought cd this weekend and haven’t stopped listening to it. thank you
March 16th, 2008 at 7:09 pm
Damn damn where ever you go or what ever you do never never loose you inspiration or love for music it keeps us heads over heels.
I love this album ,.,.,., but then which album don’t I like! My heart is just bleeding after I realised that out of my entire collection of your albums I am left of this album and Experience 826+ the rest of my collection was stolen during the time when they where breacking into my house. My heart is sore due to the fact that I can not get your first album “Who is Jill” and Beautifully Human they are out of stock in every store, that’s messed up!!!!! All the others I managed to get hold of and I am replacing them on the 25th of March 2008 when I get paid.
Love, Peace and Happpiness Linda Jafta
Please come through to South Africa
We love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 16th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
You have done it again Ms. Jill Scott! I play this album ova and ova … you always have something for me! Keep your faith and strength in Him and baby please keep using your gift! Much love from your Philly Fam!

I love your music, your poetry i find it soothing and learning, if you understand what i mean. i wrote something that might show you what i mean.I was married at 20 it was rocky with a baby had a job with the City worked long hours to support my baby and again and again 3 small babies you see, it was my 3 babies and me . there was a lot of fighting and a lot of abuse, living here and living there, finding places to hide, and weeping in despear.There was a place we called a shelter, that took my girls but not my son , that added more stress, and morr torment to me. We dont have to run anymore , we dont have to hide. you see, he lives in a nursing home, with no mind to see.thank you for listening.

I so grateful for her she put what i be feelin and thinking into words for me. Jill Scott is truly real thing…….. Love,Peace, Grace… Thanks, 4 being a voice
March 12th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
I am eletrically charged to Jill’s music, I was at her concert last night in D.C. 3/11/08 and it is not just her music it is her spirit her music speaks volumes if you are open to recieve her messages educate, heal and inspire yes, her LIGHT shines brighter than all the rest.
March 12th, 2008 at 11:14 am
All your albums are GREAT. However, this album shows versatility. You have covered every aspect of how a women feels emotionally and sexually, with or without a man. I love every word of it. I find myself singing it all day long. I even got my neighbors playing it. I love the poetry put into this album. I quote Crown Royal to my husband and he gets excited. Because he knows my love is deeper, tighter, sweeter, higher, fly-er.
Thanks for the wonderful music and I look forward to hearing more of Jill Scott.
March 12th, 2008 at 10:20 am
Being a single women that has been in love twice in my life. I feel every word to all her songs that know how a man is supposed to love a women and how you can feel about a man.
March 11th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
I have all of your albums and I have to say this is the best yet. You just keep getting better and better. I love you as and artist. This cd is fabulous just like you. Keep up the great work.
March 10th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Let me “Tell you how I feel” - I have never written a comment about anything before like this but I just have to say the the new CD freakin rocks!! Jill just keeps getting better and better. Please please please add Florida dates to your tour!!!!!!
March 9th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
From “Who Is Jill Scott” to “The Experience…girl you are rockin’. Everytime you come out with something new it gets put on REPEAT! I drive everyone in the house because I just keep it going. Keep doing your thing!!!! We love you Jill!
March 9th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
Love this CD listen to it all the time. Also like to say I went to her show in Newark, NJ on March 6th . The show was GREAT.
March 8th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
One of the things about Jill Scott is the ability to keep her style freash and right on point. This is a great album. There has to be a song on this album for every situation in ones life. I Love It! This is another hit. Hidden Beach, keep doing what you are doing.
March 7th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
JILL IS MOST DEFINATELY THE REAL THING. SHE IS MY GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE TO YOU SUGAH AND SEE YOU WHEN YOU GET TO PITTSBURGH O MARCH 19TH.!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 7th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
I love this album! I think it’s the best Jill Scott yet! I have all of the albums and when Jill is in my city- CHICAGO, ILLINOIS I GOT to see me some JILL SCOTT!!! My kids like her too. Of course they can’t hear all the grown songs, but the one they love the most ; Hate on Me. Love you Jill!!!!
March 7th, 2008 at 9:37 am
I just want to say Jill that I love all your album. I have all of them. You are the first cd I put in the radio on my drive to work. It gets me going and it makes me happy. So keep up the good or should I say great work. I am your # 1 fan!
March 6th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
This CD is the best EVER!!! Go out and get it today! Insomnia, Crown Royal…they all good
March 5th, 2008 at 5:25 am
I am 20 years old an from Johannesburg, South Africa. My 2 favourite artists are Jill Scott and Musiq. I am a trying vocalist and bass guitarist which is how I came to know about Adam Blackstone, who worked with both of you and I love every project that involved and of you.
I think your new album is off the hinges, infact, its your best according to me. Also love your poem from Experience, disk2 : ‘Let her be elevated.’ it touched me.
I was thinkin of recording an album after 5 years or so, and since you are one of my biggest vocal music influences, I thought I’d really value advise from you.
Keep well and keep doin your thing.
Nyiko.
March 4th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
You know how it feels when you are with a person that you have really strong feelings for, the both of your are relaxing and you rest your head on his lap as he rubs his fingers through your hair…no conversation, just that warm feeling you get when you are truly connected to someone? This is what this cd, your music does for me. Thank you. Your live performance (Norfolk, VA 2/29/08) was ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUS. Very strong, deep, and hilarious! I appreciate the authenticity in your art and everything you do. Take care.
March 4th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Beautiful album from beginning to end…I listen to it everyay going to & from work…seen you @ the Greensboro Coliseum Complex (03.02.08) and I did enjoy myself….came all the way from Nassau, Bahamas to see you…you can sing for me any day boo!…keep up the good music!
March 4th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
The first time that I listen to the real thing my jaw dropped and I just had to listen to it over and over. I made all my friends listen to it too. I saw you on BET honors and let me say that you rocked the hair the costume and the stage. Look forward to seeing you in St. Louis at the Fox. Keep on inspiring, motivating and just being you.
March 4th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
the artist jill scott has impress me so much i’m speechless the real music is back’ its here; you guys can vouch. much props from puff and tone from bwk,ga
March 3rd, 2008 at 11:34 pm
This album was so deep from Let It Be - Family Reunion, I loved it. Jill Scott is a tremendous writer, and I appreciate how she allows her personal experiences to flow through her craft. She is a phenomenal woman, and a beautiful person, and I appreciate everything she does. God bless Sister Scott.
March 3rd, 2008 at 9:39 pm
Each album that Jill Scott puts out continues to resonate with my personal life experiences. I enjoy “the Real Thing” album and “Live in Paris” is even more amazing. Can I just say that I wish I could just listen to you all day long? You have this ability to strengthen me when I may feel defeated.
March 3rd, 2008 at 9:26 pm
Jill Scott is a timeless artist like Mahalia Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandroos, Donny hathaway, and Diana Ross.
I will not get tired of the first or second album and I know many people who won’t. WE LOVE YOU JILL KEEP MAKING YOUR MUSIC!!
March 3rd, 2008 at 9:53 am
This album is for the Grown and Sexy. I can’t stop playing it. You did your thing Jill.
March 3rd, 2008 at 8:59 am
I have been listening to Words and Sounds everyday straight since my purchase..It is sooo refreshing to have a woman sing the way Jill sings and is so open and honest. It is breath taking, amazing. The words that she uses to describe love are unthinkable. That crown royal is WOW!! I thank her for ALL of her music. This is my 3rd Jill Scott Cd and can’t wait to purchase my 4th, and will be sure to see her live the next opportunity I get..
March 3rd, 2008 at 4:59 am
I have been a fan of Jill’s since day one. Her eccletic energy she dispells on her tracks are one for the record book…she was robbed at the grammys and her music isn’t played enuff on the radio..I enjoy most of her songs on the album but nothing connects with me like “Only You” becuz only Jill can unlock the door to good music…that album was sizzling…
March 3rd, 2008 at 3:51 am
This album was hard for me to listen to. I had never heard Jill Scott like this before, “Arch my back, pull me right back to you…”. I giggled and blushed and played it when my boyfriend wasn’t within earshot. But I’m so grateful for the gift Jill gives us in the form of this album. She says only what she really feels. I tried it. She helped me save my relationship with my boyfriend, and more importantly, myself. This, in South Africa - women aren’t expected to vocal and sexy.
Thanks, Sis!

This album is the best that I have heard from anyone in a long time. I must admit that I liked some of Jill’s music but when I saw her in concert in June 07 I was blown away!!!! Seeing her in a live performance gave me a new prospective of her and her music. I am the biggest fan every!!!! This album is funny, sexy, angry and just plain raw. It has a little something for everyone. I saw her in concert on Feb 29th and once again it was wonderful. It you aren’t sure about Jill see her in concert and your whole opionion will be changed forever!!!!
March 1st, 2008 at 2:12 pm
jill scott is so impressing and her songs shake my soul she is a stunner a suoperstar love her
February 29th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
wow sis…there’s few that can read minds and hearts and relay to the world the desires of so many…i love the energy that flows off of you through your art. I do love you very much. thanks for speaking for me.

February 28th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
OMG, Grl this cd is off the chain! I am a huge fan. I don’t the cd yet but i’m working on it. I’ve listened to it though and it is bangin. I’m 15 and my 1# goal is to be a great singer like you. When ever I hear one of your songs I turn the radio up to full blast and dance around my room, my momma and friends thank I’m krazy, I’m not it’s just that you’re one of my MAJOR idols.

Jill scott lyircally puts all the words your trying to say in true form I have every cd she has made. Her music is so soothing everytime a jill scott album comes I’m always pleased with her work in every way. She has grown as an artist and you can tell through every album. I consider her as the epitomy Neo-Soul! Well damn she’s a queen in her own right. I love you Jill. Your truely an inspiration. ‘Why did I get Married’ phenom job!
February 27th, 2008 at 10:58 am
Ms. Jill Scott,
I just wanted you to know that I am a huge fan. Well actually my whole family loves your music. I trully appreciate your music, how the topics relate to everyday people… and you represent all of the woman out there so well, you capure our moods perfectly and express the things that we sometimes have a hard time saying. And you are so confident in your own skin, you have help me realize that plus size woman can be beautiful too, I used to think that I needed to be a certain size to be pretty, but that is not true…. everyone is beautiful in thier own skin. I would love to go to one of your concerts when you are back in Dallas. I almost went to the one at the Nokia Theater on 02/19/08 but I had to go back to school unfortunately. I was actually at the Nokia Theater for a school event a few days before your concert, so when I saw on the billboard that youd be there a few days later, I actually thought about missing a few days of school to see your concert. I dont know if you read these posts but I just wanted you to know that I really look up to you and that younger people listen to your music too. There are four people that I would like to meet in my life: God, Stevie Wonder, Shaka Khan, and Jill Scott. Keep doing what your doing Jill, you have touched so many people, Thank You!
February 27th, 2008 at 8:46 am
I absolutely adore this album, evry track symbolizes woman ood, and just being respected, never heard a wack album from Jill, LOVE IT !!
February 27th, 2008 at 8:06 am
The album is unbelieveable. It is truly hard to find an album where you throughly enjoy every track on it, but yet again Ms. Scott has managed to do it. I went out to buy the album based on “Crown Royal” & “Hate on Me” but I am now in love with the entire album. I can’t get enough. Keep making life beautiful through your beautiful music. Please put the impromptu song you did at the end of the concert in ATL (Friday Night 02-22-08) on the next album. I am truly a fan of yours for life.
February 26th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
I think your a very talented woman, I enjoy all of your music, My son is only 11 and he sings along with me when I play your music, keep up all tha good work that you do Girl, much respect and Love.
February 26th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
You are REAL! Keeping it real all the time is how I live my life. Let my mind flow, believe what I believe and feel what I feel …all in all embracing “Me”!

Sensual, sexy, and seductive. The voice digs and words seep within. Perfect album. And stunningly beautiful in the MY LOVE video. Had to go deluxe but DVD is acting up. So pretty, gifted, articulate. Incredible. Won’t hate, loving… every second, every moment. Pictures inside are hot, and the disclaimer was cute.

Love the new album as always. Girl what’s up with the
freaky side coming to the surface. I feel you, but it sure makes one go, ” hummmm” . What’s that all about.
Either you’re getting it real good or dreaming about it.
I hope its the former. My favorite cut is ” I Just want to be loved, like everybody else does, I just wanna be loved” Thats hot! It should be the next single. ASAP!
You write some deep sh_t girl. “(AND WHEN WE ARE GONE, THE SONG WILL LIVE ON, SOME STRANGER WILL HEAR AND HE’LL SAY ‘THIS IS JUST HOW I FEEL, EVERY

That’s the kind of deep sh_t I’m talking about.
Ya’ll real ones will know something about that.

I love you Jill!! as always your songs are a life line to my REAL substance, not the person people see at all times but my true essence. You motivate me to dig deeper and find myself which can get so lost on a daily basis when dealing with such superficial people. Thanks for staying ture to who you are and saying how you really feel!!

Yes this shot is for you CROWN ROYAL ON ICE. RITA BIRMINGHAM ,AL
February 15th, 2008 at 5:30 am
Just when I thought that Jill had reached her peak at excellence, she has yet again pulled emotion from her soul and made a BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECE! Every album I tell myself that THIS ONE is the BEST, but with Ms.Scott they are all the BEST. “Crown Royal” is the most erotic song on the album. “Ephinany” explains how all women have probably felt at least one time after making serious love..EMPTY! “MY LOVE” is such an emotional and painful cry… I totally feel it. I guess if I keep going I will have named all the songs..LOL!! THE WHOLE ALBUM IS SO INTENSE. I LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!!!
February 13th, 2008 at 12:23 am
Aww Talented Ms. How your creations set My listeining pleasure on High. So glad that your gift is being shared and each time you create newness surrounds your completeness.

I was at the concert in Oakland,CA. I loved the show. You are the bust stay blessed and keep them coming.
I love Crown Royal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
February 12th, 2008 at 12:43 am
Hi Ms Jill,
Maybe it is highly unlikely but I hope your eyes see this. Funny story, Me and my best friend sat in my garage this past Friday with every song you have ever recorded playing on my Ipod, and I mean we were there til 4 AM. We had a conversation about every song, we laughed, cried, loved, and sang so loud that the Honolulu police came twice!!!…We felt so empowered. I love how even when your were going through somethng terrible you never once disrespected men, or yourself for that matter. I love your mind, your words, how you express yourself. I wish you a long and successful career. Oh congrats on your grammy, I saw it! Get ‘em girl!
PLEASE COME TO HAWAII on you next Tour, there are black poeple here that love you…Please come!!!
Take care,
Nia, Honolulu, HI
February 11th, 2008 at 8:22 pm

God Bless you Jill.

February 11th, 2008 at 1:06 am
I love this cd. One of my bff had it and I was listening to it off her itunes I went rite back to my room and got it off my itunes. My fav song is epiphany that last line jus gets you. Great work Jill
February 10th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
I simply love Jill Scott even when I had no idea of who she was, and ironically her first highly anticipated album was entitled “Who is Jill Scott?” I kept that disc in my car for at least two months or more. She is an artist I will always support. I buy all of her albums, there are few artist I support like I do MJB. She will be around for a long time, I love the realness and refreshing tones. I love everything she does. A true artist if I ever heard one.
February 9th, 2008 at 11:43 pm
Hello Jill.My name is SokolGeorgiev. I see you,you are ONLINE..Please go to my profile and check out two of my songs for you.They called:”Something special”.This song has two lyrics(”Finally”and”Another you” I will be happy if you like these songs!
If you sing them ,they will be sound just like i imagine.
Music-Sokol Georgiev(Socky)
Lyrics-Julien Angelov
Something special
Canto 1.
Fall in love,fall in love.
It’s so strange i’ve never lost my mind before.
I don’t know is this wrong?
It makes me feel these things i’ve never felt before.
Bridge 1.
By the way,i’m standing awake tonight,
because thinking of you.
I don’t know how to say
how much i care.
Bridge 2.
How could i be so blind
before i met you ,how?
You have that special touch i always wanted
I found the way to love you!
Chorus
Something in your eyes
something in your smile
something in the way you kissed me
makes me feel alive!
Bridge 3.
And now i understand why everything
Is happening to me
I think the reason of my life is
to give love and being loved.
Canto 1.1
Suddenly,sudenly
I’ve being changed in someone that you need my love.
Do you know,do you know
what would be if you fall in love in lonely nights?
Bridge 1.1
In my dreams you’re comming tonight
And i will be there close to you.
I’ll say these words
You need to make you stay.
Bridge 2.2
I realy mean to tell you all my secrets now.
What is the things that somehow
makes you special
this time i know the answer:
Chorus.
Something in your eyes
Something in your smile
Something in the way you kissed me
Makes me feel alive

This album has transcended Jill beyond just rhythm & blues to a emotional humane spirit of music. She has captured the true essence of rhythm and has changed the color of blues. From her hard hitting track “Hate on Me” to the insatiable track “My love” Jill delivers each and every emotion to the listener with clear mellow tones of fabulosity. If you buy just one cd this year - this is the one to put your money on!

Wow! Jill Scott my my you did it again. I saw you in concert at the House of Blues in Orlando way back when . I love the song “Wanna Be Loved” and “Crown Royal” but my fav hands down has to be from your first album, actually that whole album was my fav!!! good work, keep making that real soul music
February 8th, 2008 at 12:38 pm
I absolutely LOVE Jill. My favorites on the albulm are Crown Royal, My Love, and Insomnia. Not a big fan of Tell Me how you’d feel. I have all of Jill’s albums and lots of posters, interviews, and her poetry book, etc. I even try to keep up with her style. I love you Jill, and my son knows the words to your songs. I rocked him in my belly to Gotta Get Up and He Loves Me. Thank you Ms. Philly!

This CD has been the most erotic musical experience I’ve ever had. Jill was speaking to and for me w/this one. The lyrics are CRAZY HOT and her voice is heavenly, per the usual. I may have to sell some blood to go the show in DC next month.
Thank you so much Jill, for all you do. Your talent is tremendous and will be cherished by real music lovers for all the days to come.

Jill, you did it girl… CROWN ROYAL on ICE… WOW!!
February 7th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
I bought this album when it first came out and I never in my life heard anything like it. Jill said all of the things I wanted to say to my man. I found and embraced a kindred spirit I had laying dormant for years. I felt as though I had put me on hold. I cried and cried tears of knowledge that came rushing, my woman inside was awakening and now she is an amazing being thanks to Jill. I have been a fan since day one. I am giving my husband this cd for valentine’s day because he needs to know why his woman has changed and is not settling any more. Again, thank you Jill for all the knowlege. You say the things that women want to say. Keep blessing us.

This album is oh my GOD good! It’s so good to know that touch your soul and sing your experience music still exists. Thank You Jill Scott.

This album is “the real thing”. I love the spirit and strength exuding from “Hate On Me”. I can feel the peeling off of the layers to the core of who you are and who we all are. I, too, have been listening to it everyday since I bought it. I know why the caged bird sings…
February 4th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
The Real Thing is the the real thing! Raw emotion, heartfelt angst displayed in tightly packaged rhythms and beats and purrs and moans and music!
I was riveted when I heard “My Love”. Too real to even explain. If have ever lost love that songs asked the questions you were afraid to say.
“Crown Royal” is another bodysong that has you movin’ without even realizing it. The hums, the beats, the rhythm!
That’s all I have to say.
Love you Jill! See you on 2/8 in Oakland!
An astounded fan,
Jessica

Israel here. Came back from the Erykah Badu concert last night and asked myself what about a new Jill Scott album. Quick check in local record store and im in sultry sexy smooth scott’s mode. LOVE the album !!!! From Diva-esqe highs to emotional lows this is an artist’s comming of age. Its amazing to hear how ms. scott developed from vol 1 to vol 3 in the way she presents herself vocaly. ITS THE BOMB !!!
Saw her in Philly 3 years ago. Hope to see her again - hopefully in ISRAEL !!!

I have had a hard time finding this album, but once i did find it it was the only CD on the shelve. I bought it and as soon as I went home I played it. EVERY song from beginning to end was beautiful. I can’t get this album off my mind because it touched me, made me realize that I am not alone in this. Jill’s voice is so magnetic and the way the words come out is breathtaking. I love this album and I must say that Jill is consistant becasue all of her albums are electricfying. I can just close my eyes and listen to the emotion and colors in every track. Man I am so happy that REAL artists like Jill Scott is out there because we need that truth.
February 3rd, 2008 at 8:08 pm
The feelings in the songs are very familar to me. This CD was so very needed. I have listened to the whole thing everyday since I brought it. Thank you, thank you for your words.
February 3rd, 2008 at 5:30 pm
I love your music and this CD. It’s the first one in my CD changer and HATE ON ME is my favorite song.
February 2nd, 2008 at 1:46 am
We love your music. Thank you for your timeless, melodic and soulful contribution to the music world. Your words inspired me to finally propose to my wife (December 24, 2002- with track playing “He Loves Me”) and after almost five (5) years of marriage we are still vibing, flowing and deeply influenced by your music. Again, THANK YOU for your words and sounds which keep two hearts beating as one. We wish you continued success in all your endeavors.
Love you,
Gregory & Kelli Joiner

I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE THIS CD!!!! I KEEP IT IN ROTATION. THIS IS THE FIRST CD I’VE HEARD IN A LONG TIME THAT WASNT PRIMARILY MALE-BASHING. IT’S NICE TO SEE SOMEONE STILL HAS LOVE IN THEIR HEART. EVEN AFTER A LOT OF UNEXPECTED CHANGES!!
January 31st, 2008 at 7:18 pm
I thank God for blessing Jill with her beautiful spirit, voice and inspiring talents of poetry and music. Thank you Jill (and all who make it possible) for her to share her blessing with all of us ( her fans).
I can’t go a day without listening to my CD!!! Track 13 & 14 touch me in a way I can’t even begin to verbalize.
The whole CD is jammin’ all the way through!!!
I was able to see Jill in concert for my birthday (Feb. 11)a few years ago in Dallas (also at Erykahs’ place after the concert). She will be back in Dallas again Feb. 19 in Dallas (just in time for my birthday again).
Unfortunately, I was not able to get tickets in time (which has left me broken) because I thought it was ’serendipitous’ that she would be back intown for my 35th birthday.
I pray to be able to see her live again very soon!!! So please come back to Dallas soon!!! It would really mean the world to me. I am a huge ‘admirer’ of Ms. Jill Scott. Jill is the definition of class, style and beauty in every way. Keep doin’ what you doin’ !!!
January 31st, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Jill, I love this album…it is like you went right into my heart and soul and pulled out my most inner feelings…I love it….keep on doing what you are …and stay yourself….and keep it REAL…
January 31st, 2008 at 10:15 am
I must say that I love this WHOLE ENTIRE CD Just like all the rest. Do the thing sister.
January 30th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
No words can do this album justice. It has taken Jill’s work to a new level. I have owned it since its release and it stays on in my car, and in my home. It’s like a drug that I cannot shake. I only buy music I can listen to from start to finish and this latest joint is addictive and seductive. My husband who was straight up hip hop is now a Jill Scott convert. It’s sexy and deep.
Please add an additional Houston show
January 30th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
JILL IS A LYRICAL PEHNOM!!! I HAVE SO MUCH LOVE FOR HER AND HER MUSIC. IF I COULD BE HER NUMBER ONE FAN AND BE NAMED SO IT WOULD BE!!! I HAVE ALL OF THE CDS. IM ONE OF ILLADELPHS FINEST UNKNOWN ARTISTS. HER TALENT SURPASSES THE WORD TALENT.

January 28th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
This is the BEST album I own to date. My favorite songs are “All I, Crown Royal, and come See Me” in that order. although I bought the album when it first came out I just recently listen to the entire thing and yes I fell in love. I listen evertime I get in the car, evertime I play my ipod I cannot get enough.
this album is sensual “your hands on my hips…”

January 26th, 2008 at 9:47 am
OH MY GOD!! Jill Scott is so AMAZING and BLESSED! I feel so lucky to be living in the days of her talented show casing. I will be attending her concert at the Atlanta Fox Theatre, Feb. the 22nd. and it is taking everything in me to contain myself. I love the way she shows us the many sides to her personality. Her music always gives us different grooves to enjoy. From sing-a-longs to matters of the heart. We sit back, relax and let her say all that we need to. The three words that come to mind when I hear and think of her……OH MY GOD!!
January 24th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
I love this new CD. She speaks to my soul and spirit. I play this CD so much it’s pipin HOT when I do decide to switch it up…. 9, 10, 11, 12 and 14 are my favorites!

January 23rd, 2008 at 12:37 pm
I LOVE JILL SCOTT. SHE MAKES ME FEEL EVERY EMOTION THAT YOU CAN FEEL. I LOVE DEEPLY WITH THIS MUSIC, AND FEEL THE PASSION IN EVERY BEAT NOTE WORD THAT HER MUSIC GIVES ME. THIS IS WHAT I TELL MY FRIENDS IS REAL MUSIC. THE REAL MUSIC THAT WE USE TO HAVE BACK WHEN!
January 23rd, 2008 at 10:33 am
This is one of those albums that you could play again and again all day and all night. Its just that fresh. Thank you Jill Scott for giving me something worth listening to
January 22nd, 2008 at 8:54 am
I Love the single I feel it is a very liberating message in the song! They a bumping it in my city. (Hate on me)
January 21st, 2008 at 8:16 pm

January 21st, 2008 at 3:27 pm
I just wanted to say Thank You. that’s it;)
January 21st, 2008 at 12:18 am
tha album is beautiful.. i love me some jill scott.. come see me is simply angelic.
January 20th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
This album is definitely sensual! Jill did right by enclosing a little warning note, because many of the songs entice or spark flames burning within! I especially love Track #5. It’s something about the melody…and the lyrics…I can totally relate. I’m sure there are other women out there other than myself who get intimate flashbacks when listening to many of these songs. To all the other Jill Scott fans out there: If you haven’t bought the album yet, then what the hell are you waiting for?! You will not be disapointed. If I had to rate this album between 1 & 5, with 5 being awesome…I’d have to give it a 7 because Jill went above & beyond with this album!
January 20th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
I love this album! It sucks to see that once you go through something the bestmusic comes out of it! Wanna be loved , Crown Royal, Come see me, Epiphany… they are all hits! Go girl!
January 20th, 2008 at 12:02 am
I love this album. I’m glad I purchased it. I am very pleased.
