Who Is Jill Scott? Words And Sounds Vol. 1 is the sensational double-platinum 2000 debut from neo-soul/R&B singer-songwriter Jill Scott. The Jeff Townes produced release yielded Grammy nominations for Best R&B Album and Best New Artist while album standouts "Gettin' in the Way," "A Long Walk" and "He Loves Me (Lyzel in E Flat)" all received Best Female R&B Vocal Performance nominations.
This auspicious and vibrant collection by 'Jilly From Philly' is as strong of an inaugural statement as you could truly ask for. Scott spoke to Billboard about why her debut still resonates 20 years later, "It's the honest stories and the timing. The album is sistah strong yet vulnerable and filled with love."
