Thanks for the support… Hidden Beach is a small label where every sale makes a difference. Although we understand you may find ways to get a copy of Jill Scott’s new album for free… it is important that you purchase the CD so you can help send a message and support art and a real artist.
Many fans have been wondering about the version on iTunes. Although the version says “Clean”, there is no difference between the songs to download on iTunes and the physical CD. This was a systematic mistake and there is no explicit or clean version of Jill Scott’s new album. There is only one version which is available.
So whether you download the album on iTunes or buy the CD at your local Target or Walmart, there is no difference.
We apologize about the confusion and the “Clean” label on iTunes should be removed shortly by Apple.
Thank you and we hope you tell 5 more friends and family to purchase the album and help Jill Scott go #1 in the first week.

Jill Scott is undeniably one of the most popular constituents of the Neo-Soul movement. On her third studio album, there’s proof of her seven-year stint as a recording artist. The album cover is the first where her face is shown as it looks in the present (her first was the top of her head, the second was a childhood picture), and she’s going out—with the door open and purse in hand. The Real Thing: Words and Sounds, Vol. 3 (Hidden Beach) definitely poses the question: Where is Jill going? Her divorce and her starring role in Tyler Perry’s new film speak volumes on the new emotional and professional territory that she’s had to voyage through.
“Let It Be” opens The Real Thing with a powerful statement—“If Classical, Country Mood, Rhythm & Blues, Gospel, Whatever it is, let it be.” Jill makes it easy to keep the open mind. This new repertoire of songs demonstrates that even after an ending of a marriage there’s a new beginning, and if you’re lucky, a new sexual awakening. The jazz-blue influenced “Celibacy Blues” can make any woman feel that longing, wherever they are listening. With a line like, “I get some new batteries almost every night,” it’s thought provoking for anyone paying heed, and that’s the thing about Scott. She proves that candor is more provocative than any suggestive song lyric.
Scott’s music can be rendered a bit “female-centric” but, like on her other albums, she proves that her writing is more about human connections. “Hate On Me” is a universal memo for those haterade drinkers. On “Whenever You’re Around” she confesses to her lover that she’s built an emotional relationship with another man.
Five tracks on The Real Thing are under two minutes, which shows Jill’s capacity and talent in concisely saying what she wants. “Crown Royal” is amazingly simplistic. While this latest album also carries less Hip-Hop tinged beats that were prevalent in Beautifully Human; there’s a new element of Hip-Hop that she brings to this new project, and it’s in the lyrical arrangements. In “Epiphany” she raps through the most potent part of the songs.
So, where is Jill going? She’s obviously still on that voyage, like we all are. She just gets to write songs about having sex, and lack thereof. Jill Scott delivers another home-run, not as classical as The Real Thing predecessors, but it’s just as rich and filled with Scott’s brand of R&B, with a new a twist. The Real Thing speaks on that revolution that might occur after a break-up or a divorce—it’s about life’s constant change.

“I put icing on places that were wounded, so they looked good and tasted pretty. But I really didn’t deal with them until I had no choice but to deal with what was going on in my marriage”
The lovely and talented Jill Scott always had a smile that her fans adored. She was “living her life like it was golden” and emulating a unique confidence that ignored the stereotypical beauty standards of the record industry.
But everything in Jill’s life wasn’t golden.
In a sit-down chat with Terry McMillan, she talks to ESSENCE about “The Real Thing”, her new CD, her troubled marriage and her latest role in Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married?” (page 181)
