Miss Scott is on tour in support of her 5th studio album, Woman, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart for the week of August 15. Scott first made her mark on the music scene 15 years ago with her debut album Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol.1. Her 2011 release, The Light Of The Sun, also reached #1 status.
The reigning R and B queen performed for over an hour and a half, thrilling the sell-out crowd with tracks from some of her earlier albums in her "incredible 15-year journey" as well as tracks from Woman. Selections included "Gimme", "A Long Walk," "Closure," "Crown Royal," "He Loves Me," "Fool's Gold" and "Whatever" to name a few.
Jill Scott's timeless voice was backed by a ten-piece band and a trio of male backup singers, The Pipes. Utilizing her acting talents, Scott delivered her works with the passion of performance poetry. Her voice was technically brilliant and emotionally gripping. She showed her diverse vocal abilities by scatting during a performance of "Fool's Gold" while two of her backup singers beatboxed and switching between English and Spanish during "He Loves Me."
