Best Albums - Beautifully Human - Jill Scott

The first time I heard this album I loved it. It's full of so much life and energy, it's just a joy to listen to. Lyrically this album is really smart, the sound is good, everything is there, but this album is all about Jill Scott. The album drips with her personality. As good as her voice is, it's her essence that sells these songs. I've heard a lot of neo-soul music, and to me this is the best album of the bunch.

Of course like I said it helps that she has good content to sell. She's all over the place with her songs. From sensual love songs, to political, to silly, to social. All along she's smart, witty, and reflective. If you want to pick up and listen to one of the best albums of the decade grab this one and you won't be sorry.
