Funny you should say that. I generally support the independent stores, but I can't see myself paying $16.99 for something I can get for $7 less (check Target stores as well).

Deluxe Limited Edition...I'm a true fan!

Deluxe Limited Edition...I'm a true fan!

Ooh .. bonus tracks. Now I gotta get this edition.

[Phyllis Hyman Cherry]

Nice to see she ran a comb through that head.She's shady i know someone who did her hair several times and got the report.Not that nice of a person it seems,but of course i wasnt there but her body language in interviews shows a certain degree of smugness.

[TAC]

This album is straight heat....

[Daryl]

This album is straight heat....

apparently she'd gone through a divorce or somethin - so this is what came out...some serious song writing here.

[islandlover]

They both look different.

Here's Angie Stone's new album cover. I guess they both wanted to rock the straight hair and get away from their frows.

At least they aren't rockin' that damn Mohawk look. It's getting played (and NOT cute, IMO).

You alway ran from the thick girls, I'll suck the ear wax out of her head if she let me.:remybussi:

[TAC]

Yea. I heard about the divorce. Apparently, she and her husband grew apart because they spent too much time apart as as result of her music career.

[JR JAM]

:rofl:

[xtine]

I feel the opposite. Those eyes are telling me "come hither."

I'll be picking up my copy this Saturday.

I'm loving the eyes but not the bag. She should have just put that hand on her hip to complete the "come hither" look.

Can't wait to hear this album.

Whats up with the FAKE HAIR, WEAVE, WIG or whatever that shit is!!!!!!!!!
AGREED, that hair has got to go, but of course its the content of the album that counts.

Damm this look is really depressing, at least if your gonna rock some fake hair, make it look decent.

[Rodney Ransom]

Before some of yall roast me, I am a big fan of both of these women, ha ha he he...............

Hopefully I will like what I hear as well.

I've been reading mixed reviews about it. Most of them have mirrored this one:

I'll check it out more seriously, caus' honestly based on the extracts I've heard I expect the worst.

[Musica]

I enjoyed most of the album. As for her looks/style on the cover/insert...if you've heard the album, the end of "Whatever" she ad libs. She's describing everything she's wearing. There is definitely a message.

[P-Flipp]

This album is straight heat....

just the ringing endorsement I need!

[passiondeep]

Jill has a superb voice but this album for me feels very thin on the ground.

[MusicFilter]

Went to pick it up and it was sold out at best buy.

[Huey P. Freeman]

First 3 songs are horrid. The album gets really good after that.

[DJJM3.COM]

heard a few tracks on the TJMS last week...its ok....typical, jazzy jill scott to me.....

[Satin Doll]

im definitely feeln the new album.
also you can listen to the album online at www.bet.com

[dawn220]

just the ringing endorsement I need!

Yup...I went to Discorama on W4 St and it was sold out. I will most deffo pick it up based on the fact that I like Jill Scott alot and TAC's recommendation! He is dead on most of the time when it comes to critical listening.

['Magic' Juan]

Ok, picked up the album at Best Buy on Saturday (supposedly they carry a version with 2 bonus tracks exclusive only to their stores). Overall the album is similar in feel to her previous joints, but there were a few tracks that make it quite different. For one, Jill raps on a few cuts (yes, RAPS). Although her rapping is not bad I feel that it takes away from the flow of the album. The other notable point is that this album is much raunchier than her other releases. Lots of innuendo and sexually laced lyrics, but nothing vulgar ala R Kelly or the like (check out Crown Royal for some of that steam - which, btw, is waaaay too short).

Why the change? Perhaps she is trying to lure in new fans (younger folk). These two aspects left me feeling the album was a tad bit unfocused, yet I do feel it is an album worth purchasing. The reason being that, point blank, homegirl can SING! Also, the good outweighs the bad. Most of the cuts contain dope beats and strong lyrics which make it a worthwhile purchase, in my opinion. Personally I feel the stronger cuts are at the beginning of the album. The last 4 or so songs are mediocre, but may grow on me with repeated listening.

Overall grade: B

[Huey P. Freeman]

Personally I feel the stronger cuts are at the beginning of the album. Really? I though the sweet spot was in the middle(isn't it always?). The first 3 or 4 songs were terrible IMO.

['Magic' Juan]

Really? I though the sweet spot was in the middle(isn't it always?). The first 3 or 4 songs were terrible IMO.

Not for me, although I do agree it is rather sweet halfway through. The last 4 were snoozers, IMO.

"Only You" is on constant repeat. Also, "Celibacy Blues" really drags the album down. Should have been cut.

[Christophe]

Not really feelin it to be honest, the first 4 songs aren't my cup of tea (4. that synth-hornalike is terrible). In the middle, there are some good ideas but way too short(!!), 8 is not very original. 9 is well played but needs a little bit of tension in it, it's too sleek, imo
The rest is ok but not very original, 14. is a sort of janet jackson track, 16 has got too much sound effects that doesn't bring anything to the originality of the track and it gets syrupy at the end. 17 is not a typical JS track, good.
