what a fucking con,it so identical to jill scott that plagurism isnt the word(who is jill scott?the finest album of the last 5 years!)..anybody else think this?I WANT A REFUND!

I heard the album and I don't think it sounds anything like Jill. Floetry couldn't ever touch Jill Scott.

I don't think that at all. Do you think your take on it could be that all the "Neo-soul" artists sound the same with that laid back kinda vibe? I dunno, just guessing here. The similarities are obvious (females singing and speaking sultry lyrics over soulful hooks), but Floetry and Jill Scott hold their own respectively.

"Say Yes" is so sensual, the morning show on the radio (here in Dallas) did a whole bit about playing it because people are looking for something to get them moving in the morning. This song is NOT the one to do it (it's the one to do "it" to ). I even put in Jill's CD to see what she had that may have been remotely in the same vein. I stopped because there was no comparison because both artists have their own style.

Hell, you know what? Since this will be a bit too much typing for me right now, here's a review someone did of it on Amazon.com's site that pretty much nails it:



"The intro "Big Ben" it's self almost immediately grabs you with a sharp beat and meaningful lyrics. "Floetic", Floetry's anthem if you will, has a soul-funk beat with "we're here to conquer"-verses. "Ms. Stress" is a ballad talking about a relationship with your classic love conflict. I also think there's a hidden definition in the song (Ms. Stress - Mistress? Maybe?). "Sunshine" is a song describing fantasy from reality, a conflict imbrued with love. "Getting Late" is an obvious self explanatory song. The atmosphere has shifted from pain and hate to bliss & love to a point where it's overboard. It's a very sexy song; a song you should be listening to when your about to be laid."Fun" is an unbeat & funky song about a relationship where the two lovers are never together. Also, it also seems like the guy in the relationship is blaming the girl since the chorus preaches the line "this isn't my idea of fun". "Mr. Messed Up" is a good followup of "Fun", where the woman dumps her lover & realizes that she was changing herself as a person for a guy; Shifting from ignorant to filled with knowledge of the facts. "Say Yes" is yet another seductive love song where the woman is eager for sex from her lover. "Hello" can be a follow up of "say yes" since the song's verses seem to come from a "next day phone call". "Headache" is another song of love conflicts. It talks about a relationship where one doesn't listen to another. "Possibilities" is an uplifting & empowering song they speak in general, to not give up. I especially like the part where Natalie says "who was there that could've stopped me from decomposing & rotting? For putting a permanant solution to a temporary problem?"...strong words. "Hey You" is sort of the positive version of "Fun", where they describe the woman hoping and yearning to see her lover. "If I Was A Bird" is a song is about over coming pain after a serious relationship. "Opera" is an oddly addictive song about a guy that pleases Natalie so much, it made her hit high notes. "Subliminal" is a song about conscious perception...in a general state of mind. The song is sort of deals with peace & just random thoughts. "Butterflies" is an incredible song originally written for Michael Jackson, but Floetry felt that they should've gave it their signature "flow"...since they wrote it. It talks about a woman getting butterflies because she misses her lover. The last song "Now Your Gone" is originally by Sebastian Rogers. Well, it doesn't seem so at first, since he is literally overshadowed by Marsha's vocals. It's like the aftermath of a just-broken relationship."

I, personally, really dig this CD. It will be in rotation for quite some time.

btw, Floetry is the group, "Floetic" is the name of the CD.

my arse..its the same production team..it sounds just like a poor version of jill scotts...u deaf?

I'm not a huge Jill Scott fan but I agree. I've heard the samples on the Floetry website and was not impressed. And I hate the single that's out now. They seem like nice people but I'll never buy their current record.

Oh goddd, Floetry does not compare to Jill Scott. The two are entirely separate entities. The only comparsions I see with the two are the "neo-soul" and DJ Jazzy Jeff productions. I love Floetry's new album and I'm waiting patiently for the next one. My favorite songs on Floetic are:

If I Was A Bird
Sunshine
Fun
Mr. Messed Up
Ms. Stress
Butterflies
Hey You
Hello
Say Yes

The album is LIGHTS OUT!!! woo. I tip my hat to Floetry.

Jill is Jill and Floetry is Floetry...


I don't hear whatever you are talking about. I love the Floetry cd!! I love Jill live...but she loses something recorded.

Floetry started out as Behind the scenes Writers&Originally offered Jill Scott tracks&also keep in Mind they share the same Producers&Instrumental Sounds on there Albums.
