Jill Scott - Blessed x All Cried Out (Feat. Doug E. Fresh)

After the two stunning singles that we've heard so far this year, Shame & So In Love, here are two of my favourite album tracks from Jill Scott's upcoming fourth studio release, The Light Of The Sun. The album is set to be released on June 21st and is her first LP since leaving Hidden Beach Recordings - I'm glad to say that the move  hasn't affected the music. There aren't many female artists that excite me, Erykah & Beyoncé being the two main exceptions, but Miss Scott has been consistently brilliant, blessing us with real Soul music from the heart for the past 11 years. Some people think that 4 years is too long to make an album, I don't. If the music is this good, then she can take as long as she wants to make it (D'Angelo's break has been a bit too long now though) - it's much better than releasing 3 albums in 4 years and none reaching the standard of her previous work. Make sure you cop this on the 21st, it won't disappoint.
