ALBUM REVIEW

Artist: Jill Scott
Album: Collaborations
Exec. Producer:
Label: Hidden Beach
Release Date: January 30, 2007

Jill Scott's Collaborations is more than just one of those greatest hits albums that labels put out so that you don't forget about their artists. Collaboarations includes songs that were featured on other artist albums that fans may not have heard along with a couple of remixes.

Production is varied but top notch and the song stylings range from HipHop to Jazz. Which also means the chances of one person already having all of these songs are fairly slim. Those who have the Lupe Fiasco album containing ''Daydreamin'' probably do not have the Chris Botti album which featured Jill on ''Good Morning Heartache''. The complete tracklisting is:

01.Love Rain (Feat. Mos Def) (Head Nod Remix)
02.Daydreamin' (Feat. Lupe Fiasco)
03.Good Morning Heartache (Feat. Chris Botti)
04.Said Enough (Feat. The Isley Brothers)
05.One Time (Feat. Eric Roberson)
06.Let Me (Feat. Sergio Mendes & Will.I.Am)
07.8 Minutes To Sunrise (Feat. Common)
08.Funky For You (Feat. Common & Bilal)
09.Sometime I Wonder (Feat. Darius Rucker)
10.Slide (Feat. Jeff Bradshaw)
11.The Rain (Feat. Will Smith)
12.God Bless The Child (Feat. Al Jarreau & George Benson)
13.Kingdom Come (Feat. Kirk Franklin)
14.Love Rain (Feat. Mos Def) (Coffee Shop Mix)

Overall the album is a solid release & most fans probably do not have all of these songs in their collection. And even if you do it's nice having them collected all in one place. If you have her other releases than this one is a must have otherwise you mayt want to try before you buy.
