Jill Scott stopped by Good Morning America to perform “Beautiful People” and discuss ‘To Whom This May Concern,’ her first album in more than ten years, and the appearance serves as a reminder of exactly what has been missing from R&B during her absence. The performance is warm, controlled, and completely assured, the kind of television moment that makes you pull up everything she’s ever recorded immediately after. Scott has always been one of the most naturally gifted vocalists in contemporary soul music, and hearing her on new material after this long a gap is a delight.
