Description
Blending poignant poetry with retro-jazz vocals and hip-hop sensibilities, Jill Scott is one of the best known names in neo-soul. The powerhouse vocalist wields a voice that smolders in the lower registers, dripping alternately with melancholy, longing and independence. She can also climb the vocal register and strike at notes in the rarest of octaves. Originally discovered by Questlove, she's as comfortable warbling the hook on rapper Lupe Fiasco's Grammy-winning single "Daydreamin" as she is laying down spoken-word gospel on her anthem of persistence, "When I Wake Up." She recently starred in the James Brown biopic "Get On Up”"as the Godfather of Soul's second wife.
