Authentic Soul: Erykah Badu & Jill Scott



..the whole set on VH1 Soul Stage was OUTSTANDING! Listen to the lyrics and hypnotic bass riffs on the cut "Me"--Solid performance:

..."The Light" is one of my favorite videos as it highlights how a man should respect , love and honor his woman no matter the surrounding complexities. I also like the natural, healthy living aspect of the video as a healthy mind cannot thrive without conscious eating habits & a calm, edifying environment. Common and Erykah are the funky mythical prototypes of mindful living.

Jill Scott is an old, old soul. You can see it, hear it, feel it. She is truly the heir-apparent to the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklyn. Who dares to disagree???
