Old as this is.. should she have had celebrity stand-ins? I mean, does it really matter who the man was or what women were at the bar? It speaks highly to her character that everybody is Somebody. Someone to reflect. She represents her city, namely the People in it. That’s what I get from her vids. Maybe I’m wrong. *shrug*

My only issue was the product placement. What was that about? It was like she owed them or something.

“wasn’t this her last album for hidden beach or whatever small label she was on?”

No, that was her third album “The Real Thing: Words And Sounds, Vol. 3″ (The one with “Hate On Me” on it- which came out in 2007).

“that’s why. she just threw it together…she owed them an album. ”

That would be the compilation “The Original Jill Scott From The Vault, Vol. 1″- her contract fullfilment, so to speak.

“i’m sure the next one on her new label will be a lot better… i hope.”

“The Light Of The Sun” is the next one on her new label (Warner Bros.), and as long as she’s working with producer J.R. Huston (which she has for this album as well as her previous one), her albums will continue to lack in material.

Who is the dude in bed with her? Really?
Jill just chopping down random dudes?

And this was her first album on her own label…

Love jill but the videos she puts out always suck…

she looks nice at certain times and is a mess other times. This was one of them “other” times.

What is in her head?

And Ouidad product placement? Seriously?? A “natural hair product” that she puts on a weave? And remy martin got a dramatic slow pour?

And who are the chics at the bar? homegirl she owed a favor too???

And the wig cap?

(sigh)
It would have been fine if she just rocked the faux fro in the booth with the light make up and look and sang the song.

Oh, and that Bodymagic she had on??? (you could tell how the dress creased at her crotch area) the truf!!

all in all? love jill… hate her stylist/artistic/video producer…

The song is alright. I grew tired of it really quick.
I don’t really like the video.

So true. That album is her worst by far. She’s still a revelation in concert though

Sadly this is one of the few good songs off “The Light Of The Sun”- as it is produced by Andre Harris & Vidal Davis.

Love Ms. Scott! I like it, simple and to the point.

Side note: I like that the related video listing at the end is Emeli Sande’s Next To Me. :-)
