Jill’s voice sounds golden throughout, whether tackling horn-accented throwback vocal jazz (“Pay U on Tuesday”), racy and wildly innuendo-heavy slow jams (“Don’t Play”), or getting swaggy alongside Too $hort on the fascinating midpoint tune “BPOTY” (Biggest Pimp of the Year).","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
