ABOUT this concert in 2016:
Exactly fifteen years after her debut album Who Is Jill Scott? topped the charts in the US, Jill Scott has done it again with Woman. On this recording, Scott pulls out all the stops and shows as never before just how versatile she is as a singer and songwriter. For example, she sings away her heartache in a gut-wrenching cover of You Don’t Know (Nothing About Love) demonstrating the power of Aretha Franklin and the rawness of Janis Joplin. In this song Scott is accompanied by a band with superb horns and a sweet sounding male choir. Or, what about the powerful, gospel-like Back Together, a song of support for the families and victims of racist police violence. The icy song Lighthouse contains a sample from an SBTRKT album and the soulful uptempo Run Run Run is about the daily life of a working mother. Every song is different and powerful, promising a fantastic live performance.
