R&B Milkshake


I love Beyoncé. I love Amy Winehouse. But what happens if you take Amy's voice and Beyoncé's rythm? Here she comes! Jill Scott. I never had listened to her, until I did some research in Spotify. Her last album, The Light of The Sun is beyond amazing. This album is full of very original lyrics with a neo soul vibe. I find this woman amazing and talented. Very, very talented. In my opinion, R&B isn't very catchy at all, but Blessed, one of the singles, is stucked in my mind. And by the way, I just noticed Le BOOM Vent Suite, one of my favourite songs on the album, lasts over nine minutes. Honestly, the track is so entertaining that it seemed like three minutes tops. Another thing I love in this album is Jill's voice. She sounds so human and pure, full of power and love. She really can show the world that not only pop stars can top the Billboard charts.
In The Light of The Sun you can also find these 2 minutes tracks. They're almost songs, but more certainly amazing monologues of Jill talking/singing about the story that tells the whole album. It isn't very clear what the storyline is about, but I feel like it's a love/self-empowerment story. I don't know if I'm right, but seriously... I don't give a damn. This album's R&B gold. That's it. This is totally worthy of listening to. Everytime I listen to the album, I feel the need of raping the play button again. And again. And again. It ain't only the music, it's also the way she charms the audience with her talent.

I give this album a.../5
