audio review : Say Thank You ( song ) … Jill Scott
“I used to be stuck,” Jill Scott declares, “inside a lie that ain’t nowhere near the absolute truth.” She’s also stuck in the past. It’s the early 1970s and the genre is psychedelic soul. At least that’s what the music, produced by Andre Harris, suggests. There’s no singing, just a poetic monologue presented as if Scott is standing on stage in a dank after-hours jazz lounge with only a few tipsy people listening.

audio review : Prepared ( song ) … Jill Scott
This song, which reads like a series of “I” Tweets, doesn’t disappoint until you find out what Jill Scott is reading her old journals and staying on top of her daily chores in preparation for. It’s a cliché and ultimately anticlimactic affair, but the tune, led by a drum beat suspiciously similar to Elton John’s Bennie And The Jets, represents Jill Scott at her musical best, especially during the background chorus sections.
