The Light of the Sun
''The Light of the Sun'' is the fourth studio album by American R&B singer Jill Scott. It was recorded after Scott's four-year break from her music career and departure from her former label, Hidden Beach Recordings. ''The Light of the Sun'' was recorded at several studios and produced primarily by Scott and JR Hutson, a songwriter and producer who had previously worked on her 2007 record ''The Real Thing: Words and Sounds Vol. 3''. Music journalists noted ''The Light of the Sun'' for its neo soul sound, element of improvisation, and Scott's feminine themes.
''The Light of the Sun'' was released on June 21, 2011, by Scott's imprint label, Blue Babe Records. It received positive reviews from most critics and debuted at number one on the ''Billboard'' 200 in the United States, where it sold 135,000 copies in its first week. The album became Scott's first American number-one record, and as of March 2015, it had sold 478,000 copies in the US. It was promoted with three singles, including the ''Billboard'' R&B hits "So in Love" and "Blessed". Scott also promoted the album with her Summer Block Party concert tour.
== Background ==
Following her 2007 album, ''The Real Thing: Words and Sounds Vol. 3'', Scott took a break from recording music.〔Mitchell, Gail (June 24, 2011). (Jill "Scott: The Billboard Cover Story" ). ''Billboard (magazine)''. Retrieved June 28, 2011.〕 She undertook acting roles in the movies ''Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?'' and ''Hounddog'', and she had a starring role in the television series ''The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency''.〔 During her break, she divorced her husband of six years Lyzel Williams in 2007, became engaged to the former drummer Lil' John Roberts in 2008, gave birth to their son Jett Hamilton in 2009, and broke up with Roberts.〔 Scott subsequently began sessions for ''The Light of the Sun''.〔Lewis, John (June 26, 2011). ("Jill Scott: My new album was almost completely improvised in the studio" ). ''Metro''. Retrieved June 27, 2011.〕
In 2009, Scott left her former record label Hidden Beach Recordings.〔Belloni, Matthew (February 7, 2010). ("Jill Scott Sued By Label" ). ''The Hollywood Reporter''. Retrieved June 30, 2011.〕 During the album's recording, she was sued by Hidden Beach, which claimed she had left without fulfilling a six-album contract. The lawsuit was settled in 2011, with Hidden Beach planning to release in August a compilation album ''The Original Jill Scott from the Vault, Vol. 1'',〔Marketwire (July 13, 2011). ("Hidden Beach Presents: The Original Jill Scott From The Vault Vol. 1" ). Press release. Retrieved July 16, 2011.〕 the first in a planned album series of Scott's previously unreleased recordings.〔 In 2010, Warner Bros. Records signed Scott to a deal that gave her direct control over her marketing and promotion.〔 In a strategy to re-establish Scott's presence with fans, she signed a multi-tour deal with Live Nation/Haymon Ventures to expand her concert touring. Scott co-headlined a national, 20-date arena tour with the recording artist Maxwell, called ''Maxwell & Jill Scott: The Tour'', in 2010.〔
