from the jill scott website:

Fans have been waiting for it. The music industry has been anticipating it. And now three times Grammy nominated vocal sensation Jill Scott is about to deliver yet another collection of luminous and poignant songs as her new CD, Beautifully Human, Words And Sounds Vol. 2, is unveiled August 31 on Hidden Beach Recordings.

This alluring wordsmith has again created songs that are nurtured in the heart and sung with love. In fact, the first single, “Golden,” talks about freedom and empowering oneself to live to the fullest, to treat the gift of life as if it “is” golden. Jill will soon shoot the music video for “Golden” in the coming weeks. For Beautifully Human, Jill collaborated with some of her original production team who helped craft Who Is Jill Scott?Words and Sounds Vol. 1--James Poyser, Andre Harris and Vidal Davis and Ivan Barias and Carvin Haggins (“Mama’s Boys”). Scott also sought a fresh approach by going into the studio with new up and coming producers such as Ant Bell, P-nut, and Pete Kuzma, and someone she has long wanted to collaborate with, Raphael Saadiq.

          Yeah Van Hunt is pretty damn hot. Another overlooked artist is Pevin Everett who does some great music that mixes soul, samba/latin, jazz, funk, and house. Definitly a next level brother. But The cat everybody in the world(except for London and Detroit) seems to be sleeping on is Amp Fiddler. Definitly a bit more nu-soul than acid jazz, but still very likely to be appreciated by acid jazz heads. Amp just released a new album called "waltz of a ghetto fly" that must be heard. Live he is even better. His band is like a modern day Sly and the family stone. Its got totally amazing musicianship. Amp alone played in p-funk for about 15 years and has also played with Prince and Jamiraquoi. Everyone in his band is amazing too. Any of them could probably front their own band. Really good lyrics and a positive vibe too. Fans of d'angelo, erykah, Jil Scott, Remy Shand, Me'shell, etc should definitly peep mr. Fiddler.

    A very slept on sister is Venus Malone. Her CD/LP "Pretty on the Inside", while sometimes nearer RnB land is still an interesting and non-commercial listen.
