Jill Scott - Shame
Artist: Jill Scott
Featuring: Eve
Producer: "J.R." Hutson
Album: Light of the Sun
Label: Warner Bros.
Not familiar with actress/singer Jill Scott? Don’t even know her name?! Well, that’s a damn Shame, and you’re most definitely missing out on a good thing – as her latest single attests, the veteran songstress’ progressively retro soul stylings deserve a spot on any R&B-lover’s iPod. On this new release, producer J.R. Hutson cooks up a breezy, minimal hip-soul groove (garnished with a little reversed percussion) as Scott admonishes an indecisive fella for letting a spectacular catch like her fall by the wayside. As she puts it, “I’m the one you really want, but you just can’t see it.” Femcee Eve provides moral support after the (brilliantly fresh) bridge, marveling at the transparent wackness of the dude in question. While I have my doubts as to whether this joint will be effective in convincing that unlucky man of the error of his ways, Jill Scott’s prospects of wooing Boothgoers seem much brighter. If you’re digging it, more freshness awaits on the artist’s forthcoming Warner Bros. debut album, Light of the Sun.

It's good to hear from Jill again... its been a while. Love the 90's throwback sound of "Shame," and Scott's funky singing attitude. Not to mention, how great is it to hear from Eve on the regular these days? I can dig it and I think most listeners will, too.

It would be a damn shame if you didnt like this track. Jill Scott is her usual exquisite self. Eve is back in business.

I'm not a fan of this and I LOVE Jill from her debut to her last release. The vocals are on point I just don't necessarily feel the production vibes with her vocals, I think Eve fits on the track. If anything I think this should've been a teaser rather than a 1st single.

Not single worthy quality for me and I love Jill Scott. I'm glad she featured Eve on this track...wish the best for both of them and their careers

If this were made and released in the 90's it would be a hit.
