Audio: What's your favorite hidden track or song from an album?
Submitted by Kristine.
That's a tie for me. Up first:
Jilly from Philly. Jill Scott. Her energy reminds me of one of my dearest friends, Lisane. You almost feel like you can't look her directly in the eye because she shines so bright.
The thing I don't like about hidden tracks is the wait for it to play. (Yes, I am that impatient) I hate that they're buried, especially when you're in the car and you're skimming to say....track 44. Sure, I realize all those other tracks are data tracks od a few seconds but still...GIMMIE DAT!
My first favorite hidden track was Jill's brilliant remix of Love Rain with another amazing spirit, Mos Def. You'll have to endure that pregnant pause between it and Try, the song that leads in. But in my opinion, it is WELL worth it. Just listening to it makes me miss the Northeast. They nothing of this type of heady, sharp vibe down in the South. I get in trouble, but I'm sorry...it's true. Jill represents everything I miss about Philly. Her and the Roots.
So there you have it. Takes a minute to get to their respective wholesome goodness...but it's worth it if you are so inclined...
