Jul 19, 2011I agree, men are dogs. But it gets my radar in a lather when this loving, lovable woman structures her 2007 album along a break-up's narrative arc and then four years later the same thing happens twice‑-only the first guy leaves her with a boychild who, let's be candid, she loves more unreservedly than she has any grown man on record.
-
Jun 27, 2011Her dexterity in juxtaposing genres, infusing her swooping jazz-singing with near-gospel fervor, kittenish moans and shameless spoken exhortations is commanding.
-
Jun 17, 2011Here, she returns to R&B like she never left: With its earnest introspection and earthy textures - not to mention guest spots by Eve and Anthony Hamilton - The Light of the Sun has a distinctly early-aughties vibe, recalling an era when tempos were slower and voices less Auto-Tuney.
-
Jun 20, 2011The intimate and the instructive are never far apart for Ms. Scott; neither are lyrics and prose, melody and recitation.
-
Jun 27, 2011At times The Light of the Sun veers towards self-indulgence, and some of its ideas are not fully followed through. On the whole, however, it is a rather lovely, emotional album that provides a beguiling snapshot of the current life of Jill Scott.
-
Jun 20, 2011Scott has reasserted herself as a relevant voice in modern R&B, a voice imbued with the sort of sensuality and worldliness that arrives only with experience, and she proves she's just as willing to experiment as her younger competition.
-
Jun 24, 2011Lolloping along with little desire to vary pace or style, it is ultimately forgettable.
