This album is deep, moving, strong, building, and has the power to affect my mood in ways I didn't imagine. The album is banging and hard-hitting. Although it contains less of the spoken word that listeners are accustomed to hearing from her, Scott surprises listeners by including several smooth raps as well as maintaining the story-telling aspects for which she is known. Musical arrangements manage to fuse jazz, funk, soul, and gospel roots seamlessly, and one song jumps to the next in logical progress. The interview Scott does on the bonus CD offers explanations to some of her songs (the soundbites that were on the sampler), and the video for "My Love" shows a vulnerable side to Jill (she starts to cry during her performance) that reminds fans she's willing to bear herself in ways that others artists cover in glitz and glam. While I like EVERY song on the album, some of my favorites include: "Wanna Be Loved," "How It Make You Feel," "My Love," and "Come See Me." A great buy, and something you'll be listening to for quite some time (just like her last albums)! Review: The Real Thing: Words & Sounds, Vol 3 - I'm a Jill Scott fan who eagerly bought this disc on its release date and then proceeded to sit with the new music and let it "marinate" so to speak. I was a little disappointed in reading a few of the reviews that seem too preoccupied with commenting on the state of Jill's marriage and NOT at all on this new music. It's funny to me that music fans laud the efforts of other artists who produce music during "dark periods" yet villify others. Four artists work come to my mind instantly - Marvin Gaye's 'HERE MY DEAR' which wasn't embraced back in the day but is now regarded as one of his best works; Mary J Blige's 'MY LIFE', Vivian Green's sophomore set, 'VIVIAN' - she was also going through a divorce and a lot of reviews seemed to focus on that instead of the music and now Jill's 'THE REAL THING'. I have been listening to this disc off & on for the past few weeks and found nothing depressing about any of the tracks. I felt, like I always do in Jill's music - her heart & soul which connects to me as a listener and is the very aspect of her music that caused me to be a fan in the first place. My favorite track by far is INSOMNIA - the storytelling aspect of the song reminds me of THE WAY and I have this track on constant repeat. Other faves are: HATE ON ME, WHENEVER YOU'RE AROUND, WANNA BE LOVED, THE REAL THING, CROWN ROYAL; ALL I & COME SEE ME Overall it's another strong cohesive release from one of the few true artists in the r&b realm. I only hope that those who didn't "get it" on the first listen or those who are writing one-star reviews based on sampling the clips on this site give the entire album a real listen because I hear nothing "boring" or "bland" about it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000V9KDVG | | Best Sellers Rank | #80,437 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #852 in Contemporary R&B (CDs & Vinyl) #2,292 in Adult Contemporary (CDs & Vinyl) #2,664 in Soul (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (616) | | Date First Available | August 21, 2007 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 3359007 | | Label | Hidden Beach Records | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Hidden Beach Records | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2007 | | Product Dimensions | 4.92 x 5.59 x 0.47 inches; 3.32 ounces | ## Images ![The Real Thing: Words and Sounds, Vol. 3 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81bAXci6JBL.jpg) ![The Real Thing: Words and Sounds, Vol. 3 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ZtuOE7+8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jill Scott does it again--and wow! *by D***K on October 1, 2007* I finally received my copy of Jill Scott's "The Real Thing: Words and Sounds Vol. 3," and I have to say that it is the best album I have heard in the past year, with Musiq Soulchild's "Luvanmusic" coming in at a close second.

I have every cd/mixed, live and from the crate! I have seen her brilliant performances numerous times, and will forever follow her. Her lyrics, sheer poetry. She does what few women of R&B can do....Sang! I absolutely feel so relieved after playing her music. It's soothing, it disciplines, it inspires, it allows women to forgive and forget. All the things that she pens on paper, are my exact thoughts. This cd is The Real Thing. Not one song did I fast forward or skip. It's another cd you can play from Let it Be to Breathe. I did repeat Whenever You're Around, since my man George Duke was accompanying her. I saw her live singing it and her band member did his solo justice. Listen, there aren't many "sangers" left that sound better out of the studio than in. Jill is by far #1! Her range, pitch, voice modulation are incredible. Of course, I still love Laylah, Rachelle, Anita, Angie and all my old Skool ladies of R&B. This cd is Golden (love that song too!). Please add to your collection of great entertainment. Play it while you ponder over love and life!
