Product Description

Album Description
Three times Grammy-nominated neo-soul leading light Jill Scott delivers yet another collection of luminous and poignant songs with Beautifully Human: Words and Sounds Vol 2. One part jazzy-funk mixed with two parts slow and sexy hip-hop-inspired soul, this album can justly be compared to the best work of Erykah Badu and Angie Stone, combining subtle grooves, funky soul and sensual jazz.

CD Description
Second studio album from nu-soul songstress follows 2000's 'Who Is Jill Scott' and 2001's 'Experience' live album. A lush, hypnotic collection blending jazz, soul and old-skool hip hop influences, on which Scott uses her chameleonic voice to full effect, sounding variously like Minnie Riperton, Chaka Khan, Ella Fitzgerald and Erykah Badu. Includes the single 'Golden'.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Queen of Neo-Soul is back, 31 Aug 2004
After the superb 'Who Is', I had high expectations of her follow-up album. Filled with many soft sounds, sweet melodies and and senseous words- Volume II does not dissapoint. Although still following it's predecessors happy and relexaed feel, Jill has clearly matured and is more comfortable with her life (as portrayed in my opinion of this album)

Songs such as '(Not Like) Crazy', 'I am not Afraid' and 'Spring Summer Feeling' were put on repeat for many an hour while I enjoyed their poetic and meaningful lyrics.

The album enjoys slower tracks (2,5,8,12) as well as faster tracks (3,9). Jill shows her vocals on 3 and 7 and also dotted throughout other tracks too.

Having listened to it many times over, i'd say it is, overall, a great album and a worthy successor to 'Who Is Jill Scott'.

Thank you Jill.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully Human: Words & Sounds Vol 2, 13 Sep 2004
By A Customer
Second albums are tricky, and in the case of Jill Scot, there's a lot to live up to.

Who is Jill Scott was/is an impressive album, one that made an immediate and indelible impact on me as soon as I heard it.

In my opinion, Beautifully Human: Words & Sounds Vol 2, is a very different entity indeed. Where Who is... instantaneously became a firm favourite, I think that Beautifully Human will need time to seep into my subconscious.

Scott's voice is amazing, delicate when it needs to be, and powerful when emphasis is warranted, distinctive in an overcrowded and sometimes unexceptional marketplace. I never get the feeling that she uses five notes when one will do, that she over-singing a song.

Usually it's the melody that grabs my interest first, but because Scott is a wordsmith, with a marvellous way with words, I took the time to really listen to what she was singing about. And what she has to say is a wonderful mix of pertinent and personal.

Standouts:

I Am Not Afraid

The Fact Is (I Need You)
Cross My Mind
Bedda At Home
Talk To Me (Break It Down)
Family Reunion
Rasool

Just to name a few.

If you love Jill Scott, buy this album. If you don't know Who Jill Scott is, buy this album. I think you just might grow to love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's really this good, 13 Feb 2005
Bought this record and instantly enjoyed it. However, it was not until subsequent listens that I felt the true beauty and sweetness and of Jill Scott.

I'm now in that mode where you've got to try and ration myself from the addictive bliss of hearing tracks like "Crazy", "I Keep", "The Fact Is (I Need You)" and "Still Here".

A genuine classic.
