Head Nod Music Break, #1

April 29th, 2011

Y’all all know how much I love Jill Scott, right? I mean, LOVE her. Not just because she sings the soundtrack to my life (it seems like every song, every album, could be a story about my own life, right then and there) but because I recognize in her what I recognize in myself: freedom. And I mean, look at the fierceness in the album cover above…how can you not say, “Damn!” when you look at her!?

The talk that a new Jill Scott CD is somewhere in the near future has me giddy. Absolutely giddy with excitement and anticipation. I rarely buy CDs these days, with the exception of Kanye and Adele, but this will definitely be one that I will slap down my credit card at Best Buy for. I think it is only fair to offer compensation to the woman that has moved me along my path, sung my song, and crooned me to be the me that I am.

Ms. Jill has a duet with Anthony Hamilton that I love, from the upcoming album, The Light of the Sun (isn’t that a delicious title?).  Enjoy the goodness that is Ms. Jill…
