Jill Scott and Ronald Isley - Said Enough

The Isley Brothers have given us many memorable tracks and beautiful compilations over the years. Their old school swagger, that our elders grooved to, have proven timeless with them collaborating with various new kids on the music block. They still maintain that element uniquely 'them'. In this track, Jill drops her lyricism and both her and Ronald bridge old to new school with a whole lot of cool.
'Said Enough' becomes the best compliment to the seranades we grew up loving...

Jill - my No. 1 Lady

Season 1 Interview with Jill Scott

I love LOVE love Alexander McCall Smith. He has never failed to capture my attention and sustain it without flaw till the last pages of his book. When first heard that Jill Scott would be playing fearless, Mme Ramotswe I was excited. Mainly due to my obsession with her, yes it is quite normal to love her to that extent, and partially in the hope that her being so close to us (South Africans) might be the inspiration for her to drop a show within our borders. That time will come soon though, putting it out there for the universe to embrace as Mme Ramotswe embraces any mystery that comes her way.

I'm looking forward to seeing this series- Jill Scott conquering more, artistically.

Koffman's 'Days gone by' reinvented into Scott's 'Slowly Surely'

Canadian jazz musician and composer Moe Koffman, was notably not a jazz purist. It is written (wikepedia.com) that his ability to change styles made him the scorn of his peers. But perhaps it was this flexibility and diversity that truly inspired the samplng of his 'Days gone by' in Jill Scott's 'Slowly Surely'.

Looking forward to the day Jill will light up our South African stage

Ever since she had us asking 'Who is Jill Scott', we've been pining for her visit. Wanting for her to light us up, as only she can. This performance of 'Rolling Hills', taken from BET.COM, is evidence of the sweet possibilities such an opportunity would bestow on us. And it would leave us, her South African fans, blessed to have shared such a precious moment.

Jill's 'Shame' Video

Jill's personality and diva attitude is contagious in this video. It makes one want to catwalk the street, past construction workers oblivious to intrusive whistles and attempts at attention.

Doesn't the opening remind you of yesteryear's beat circles and boys flowing, attempting to topple each other off pedestals? I like her constant references to the culture that groomed us - Like 'Love Rain' references to shell top Adidas.

Jill, penning the script for my love

Jill Scott has always given me the perfect soundtrack for my love, making me wish I had come up with those eloquent words to say to my lover. It's perfect how 'Not like Crazy' resonates - he knows who he is. This song describes how in awe he leaves me.

Not like Crazy - Beautifully human

What you do is crazy babe
Not like you belong in an asylum
Crazy babe,
Like the sun in the morning
And the moon at night
Like the rain falling from the sky
Like the trees growing from the ground
I’m astounded babe
By your love for me
And your touching me
And your trust in me
Like you do whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo
