WHEN LISTENING TO ANY OF JILL’S MUSIC AND I DO HAVE ALL HER CD’S, IT’S LIKE RIDING IN YOUR CAR NOT GOING ANYWHERE BUT JUST DRIVING ON A SUNNY DAY WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN, OR AT HOME AND IT’S RAINING OUTSIDE AND I AM JUST CHILLIN’ WITH MY MAN, HER MUSIC MAKES YOU JUST WANT TO GO ON A MIND VACATION.

Jill you are so beautiful and profound. I have every one of your albums and your artistry truly touches me. I’m so glad to have the privilege to experience you. Thank you.

The way is the first song that I began to notice Jill Scott. I am not your average music lover. It takes a lot for me to go out and buy a cd. D/T I’m not totally in to music. However when I heard Jill Scott the way I immediately had to have it. I have been a big fan ever since. Keep up the real music.
March 27th, 2008 at 7:37 pm

My 1st JILL SCOTT experience!!! This album was life changing for me! I LOVE REAL MUSIC! THERE’S NOTHING BETTER!!
March 23rd, 2008 at 1:56 pm
This album made me feel like I was in a perpetual good mood. Everytime I played the album I sang along happitly in my 1998 Hyundai station wagon to my son anddaughter as we rolled upon the streets of Baltimore. My son has cerebral palsy so I remember looking in the rear view mirror and watching him grin as I hit (I am sure I did) the high notes! lol
I used the album to stretch before teaching dance at my job, and afterwords on the long ride home through the tunnel that I was slightly scared of! Later on when I met my boy friend and his daughter I sing to him before we ate crabs on lazy summer days, and after he was gone and the memory came rolling down my cheeks in tears. I loved and still do love that album! I love the soulfull, humour, the phrasing, the way her voice sounds like a trumpet….I love Jill Scott’s voice!
March 21st, 2008 at 2:48 pm
The album that made me a believer that there is sounds of Philly still existing. I became a fan while living in the state of Texas….The song ” He Loves Me”…I would hear the song on the radio, but could never catch the artist’s name. So of course, musicians we are in my family, I had to call back here to the east coast to my daughter to find out who you were. Since…..my ear continues to believe and listen to Jill Scott, whatever she does…I thank you for bringing the sounds and lyrics of truly what we need to hear again, with heart and soul.
Respectfully
March 21st, 2008 at 7:14 am
Well you have inspired me a great deal. I love what you do and I love your style and class.
You made me realize it more in Philly and you have done it Jill.
I wish I could do it do. I love to sing the music that you sing, but I can’t sing but I just sing about what I feel. I love your style.
Jill keep bringing them out and bring out music.
And I wanted to say that I love how you did whatever whatever.
Baby you made it so so so so so classy.

Ayoba “That means watz up…..!”
This particular album made me fall in love with you, I’m not joking realy. At this stage I was in high school and you know what homones do during teen stages,.,.,. then I matured and realised that I do love you really because of your talent! I had this disc when it just launched and I did not what to mess with it so I copied it to a cassete ha ha ha also because I a cassete stereo which I secretly hid under my calor and listened to it during class “Naughter School boy”. (I felt like cayon peper”
I realy loved the Jilltro and wished it was longer (always paused and rewinded that ish up). “Do you remember” played a huge role in my teen macking days, I had this beautifull women that I adored who gave me the shivers when she walked into a room and guess what I made her listen to. Yeah you and she loved the song. I realy wished that you had done a remix version of “Exclusively” and featured Mos Def it would have been off the hedges (think about it though).
Thanks for a wonderfull child hood Jill please come to South Africa.
March 14th, 2008 at 11:28 am

Fan for life,

This menagerie of soft beats, smooth sounds, and soulful poetry, brings me through a story of love, passion and pain that all women have experienced at one point in their lives. It makes me appreciate the hi’s, low’s and mediums of life and helps me remember to love myself, cause “one is the magic #”
A must have!
March 8th, 2008 at 12:23 am
First solo album with great success. My advise (and it may not mean anything) stick to this blue print. I loved it. A mixture of 1 part Jill Scott spoken word, with parts 2 parts of Jill Scott vocalist, 3 parts of creativity, and 4 parts individualistic style. I believe that all your projects have been wonderful. However, I feel you have strayed from that formula. I will still invest in your projects simply because your Jill Scott, yet my enthusiasm is lost with every project after this one.
I hope this wasn’t considered to be a negative review, It wasn’t my intention. I just want to see that Philly girl with the same style I fell in love with.
March 6th, 2008 at 4:56 am
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS ALBUM. I RELATE TO EVERY SONG!!!
March 4th, 2008 at 2:15 am
I LOVE this album!!!! I remember the day that my dad brought your CD home and played it on the stereo downstairs, ( I was upstairs doing my homework and heard this music that I immediately drawn to….so I go downsatirs and me and my sister listen to the entire CD twice with my dad, then later, I snuck and took his CD and played it every morning when I got ready for school.) I listen to this CD so much that its scratched really bad. I have loved all of your music ever since, well actually my whole family loves your music. But this CD just tops them all, every song is awesome, Ms. Jill you are very talented and keep up the good work, My whole family wishes you sucess in your endeavors!!!! May God Bless You Jill!!!!
March 3rd, 2008 at 4:56 pm
I love this album! I listen to it at least once a day. Jill’s beautiful voice and vibe relaxes me. I’m 18 and I just sit there and listen to her words, it just make me feel everything. Each melody has a different affect on me.
February 28th, 2008 at 9:43 pm
I love this album. every song has relevance to my life! it has aided me in the decision making processess of life and relationships. all i can say is thank you jill for being so talented and full of feeling!
February 28th, 2008 at 7:54 am

February 22nd, 2008 at 8:39 pm

OMG!! This album is where me and my king became one. The words make you reminisce, laugh, get hot and ..well you know the rest. It touched our soul in a way that alot of music today could not. This is our true life and lvoe anthem ..
February 20th, 2008 at 2:58 am
Dear Ms Scott,
I really just had to let you know how much of a blessing you are. I was station in Korea (2000-2001) when your album drop. They could not keep it in the PX! So I had to go down range and buy a copy (sorry about that). And they were talking about how they could not make copies fast enough for soldiers. I also met my husband while station there. Ms. Scott it was two cd that I fail in love with him Yours and Carl Thomas. It seems like every word you were speaking were the words I need to express, but didn’t know how. This man was my folk,spoon, and knife. And “He Loves Me” put it altogether for me. Sad to say we diovrce in 2006. And to you again I listen too over and over to get me threw one of the hardest test in my life. I can listen to your first cd and not think of him as much. You are the one getting me through times that God has tested me for something much greater. I thank you so much for your words/music/pain/love/self-love/respect/honesty/sincereness/realness/up/down and everything else. And it so funny how I can llisten to your words and hear something totally diffent now. Aint love a mess. When you are in love you are is real mist. And love is so smooth it let’s you feel, eat, smell, and touch what it wants you too. Music is a form of food for me. And I so happy and bless to be able to listen to yours. I have a real copy now. (-_-)
Take care and may God bless cont. you always
Ms Dennis

the pleasure of love the pleasure of sweet music as the beat goes through my ears and the soul of the music goes through my body i feel free its the pleasure of the music lifting me up to a higher place of trust as the tears run down my eyes i secoundly take that choice and scream Im free all my life i have been waiting for a cross and a spirit to come set me free the love i most adore has put a healing on me its that bump in the ryhthm in the song as i go along and see that what i discoverd has a healing on me music meets my passion it sets me free. thank you for your time.

jill thanx for bringing back tha value of love, I found…. LOVE, I FOUND LoV3
February 11th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
What can I say about this CD except it is still one of my favorites. JS is one super talented sista who just took the music industry by storm when she came out. Jill has been raining down hard on her style of music ever since. Do what you do Jill & don’t stop until you can’t do it anymore.

February 11th, 2008 at 8:23 am
This sista is so talented. I love this entire album. Whenever me or one of my girls are having a “Waiting to Exhale” moment, we break out the wine and the Jill and have ourselves the best time. Keep it up Ms. Lady, this album brought me through my first tour in Iraq and her last album brought me through deployment #3. I can honestly say I do love me some Jill!!
February 9th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
I love this album. this is my favorite album of Miss Jill Scott the Queen that she is
February 6th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
Brought this album in 1999. I have never played a CD every day, like I did this one. Musically, lyrically this album has it all. Every time I listen - it feels like the first day of purchase. Thank U Jill xxxx
February 5th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
The album Got me through some growing during my college years. Its enough Jazz and soul to take me away from the fast beats of rap. In my stage of being a Bgirl, this was my champagne on a sunday morning. This album brought me from florida to philli everytime it bumped in my ear. this is my favorite album still. But I’m always lovin Jill. Keep it real.
February 2nd, 2008 at 1:51 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

January 19th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
This is an amazing album. I fell in love with my husband to this album. He loves Me is our song. Everytime I hear it, it reminds me why I am still with him even after seven years. You keep making these great hits.
January 19th, 2008 at 7:42 pm
God bless you. You are so inspiring, and every woman can relate to your music in some way. God bless us all with talents, but it’s truly a blessing when you get to share them with world. Keep being you and let your heart shine through everything you do. How can you not be blessed?

January 13th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
When I first heard this cd I was immediately drawn to it. It taught me how to be more appreciative of where I came from and that I am beautiful. Her songs are so inspiring and easy to listen to.
