    I think I know what this one is.
    At first it was just a hunch.
    "Slowly, Surely..." ?
    I think I've heard that before...
    It was one year ago while I was
    listening to Chocolate City...
    I heard the soulful voice of
    Jill Scott.

    It sucks that there are so many people
    named Jill Scott in this world, because
    the search engines turn up a lot of
    different (Jill Scott)s. There was
    hardly any relevant information on her,
    so I did a search for "hidden beach",
    and to my pleasant surprise

                    they have a webpage now!
                  http://www.hiddenbeach.com

                         with personal info!
        http://www.hiddenbeach.com/jillscott

                          and audio samples!

    Jill Scott is *soooo* good.
    She's from Philly, too. Perhaps you
    already know about her??

    - there's a small chance that this might
      not be the "slowly,surely" you're
      thinking of... Jill Scott is worth
      checking out, anyway. I barely
      remember what she sounds like (because
      it's been a year since that particular
      Chocolate City show), but I remember
      the feeling I had listening to her.
      garth had her on as a special guest,
      and she was really intelligent, had
      the smoothest voice... I remember
      garth asking her to do something live
      on the radio, and she recited some
      erotic poetry, and that whole show was
      just unbelievable.

    - garth is cool. Last autumn, towards
      the end of my days in kalifornia, I
      sent him an email asking about Jill
      Scott's album which was supposed to be
      out about that time (according to the
      afformentioned show). He told me it
      wasn't out yet (and it's still not out
      (damnit!)), but to appease my appetite
      for her voice, he played something she
      sang off the in_2_deep soundtrack on
      his show.
      
      I felt special.
