Jill Scott sets the mood with the official lead single from her new album. “So In Love” featuring Anthony Hamilton is a mid-tempo groove that Adult R&B/Urban radio should eat up. Jill Scott’s fourth studio, Light of the Sun, hits stores this summer via Warner Bros. Records in the second half of the year. It includes Jill’s cover of Bill Withers’ classic “Lovely Day” and a hip-hop influenced song she recorded with the rapper Eve called “Shame” also recently made it’s way to the Internet. But the best song to emerge so far is easily “So In Love,” a fun, romantic duet between Jill and southern Soul singer Anthony Hamilton.
Jill Scott grew up in north Philadelphia and attended Temple University while working two jobs. However, she had to drop out after her junior year when she ran out of money. Jill began her performing career reading her own poetry and attracted a big following in the Pennsylvania/New Jersey/New York area. She was eventually heard by Amir “Questlove” Thompson, drummer for the Philadelphia hip-hop band The Roots, who invited Jill to join the band in the studio. This resulted in the song “You Got Me,” which became a Top 40 pop hit for The Roots in 1999.
