“Hear My Call” is The Light of the Sun’s quietest song, but one of the most intriguing in Jill’s career. The album’s longest track, “Le BOOM Vent Suite,” clocks in at 9 minutes, a jazz-inspired soulful jam that re-creates the extended performances common at neo-soul concerts. But the album’s most surprising collaboration features Paul Wall on the extremely grown and sexy “So Gone (What My Mind Says).”
Fresh beatboxing to Jill’s jazzy vocals “Shame” features fellow Philadelphia native Eve. “All Cried out Redux” features hip-hop legend Doug E. Her sophistication and class shines, but she has never been ashamed to express her affection for hip-hop. But with her confidence is also the humble timidity and sweetness that fans fell in love with from the beginning. She isn’t the same woman she was in 2000, and that confidence shows on her fourth studio album.
#SO IN LOVE JILL SCOTT LYRICS PROFESSIONAL#
With 11 years into her professional recording career, Jill has managed to win three Grammys and maintain a successful acting career. The tone that is carried throughout the album is a confident one. “Womanifesto,” as its title implies, explores her personal empowerment as a woman. On “Some Other Time” she contemplates whether a new love interest is worth her time. The Light of the Sun also features some of Jill’s signature spoken-word poetry, which was casually used on her debut album.
The lead single, “So In Love,” features fellow soul singer Anthony Hamilton, a duet that doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but is reminiscent of the natural heartfelt chemistry between Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway. She’s playful on “Shame” and “All Cried Out Redux,” yet most of the album’s tracks exhibits her musical and personal maturity. Her music grows with her maturation, but doesn’t lose its youthful edge. Jill has always been known for her powerhouse vocals and thought-provoking poetry that comprises her lyrics. She abandons the ‘Words and Sounds’ volume and continues creating rich organic music on The Light of the Sun. Jill Scott’s last studio album, The Real Thing: Words and Sounds Vol. Review Summary: Older, sexier, and more confident- Jill sharpens her most vital tools on fourth studio album.
