Jill Scott

While perusing Largehearted Boy's latest list of new releases, I came across a contender for this week's scariest album cover courtesy of Jill Scott. That 80s-jean-jacket-purple-hat-combo with accompanying-furry-thing-on her-shoulder may even be scarier than the thought of an enchanted evening with Art Garfunkel. Is that cover supposed to help album sales? I think she looked much cooler when she appeared on Letterman with Lupe. Speaking of which, I hope she shows up when Lupe plays with the Roots.....who she also plays with.

Once she performed with Moby and the Blue Man Group....

Popmatters calls "Collaborations" a "cash-in" album, and says the "undeniable highlight is the Chris Botti number 'Good Morning Heartache'." Common, will.i.am, Sergio Mendes, and Mos Def, also appear on the album.

Check out the weekly roundup for more hip hop.
