"Jill Jones" ist das erste Studioalbum der amerikanischen Sängerin Jill Jones. Das von Prince komponierte, mitarrangierte, miteingespielte und mitproduzierte Album erschien am 26. Mai 1987 bei dem Label Paisley Park Records / Warner Bros. Records und enthält acht Songs, darunter die drei Singles "Mia Bocca", "G-Spot" und "For Love". Die Laufzeit des Albums beträgt 39 Minuten und 1 Sekunde.
Die Albumaufnahmen fanden zwischen Juli 1982 und Oktober 1986 in Chanhassen und Hollywood statt. Die meisten Songs des Albums hatte Prince eigentlich für sich oder andere Projekte geschrieben und produziert, bevor sie schließlich mit dem Gesang von Jill Jones auf ihrem Album landeten. "Jill Jones" konnte sich nicht in den internationalen Musikcharts platzieren.
User Album Review
The debut set from Jill Jones was three years in the making and went through many different track listings, but in the end the final version was well worth the wait. The album is produced entirely by the multi-talented Prince and is highly regarded among his fans, even though it was not well received at the time. Highlights include lead single "Mia Bocca," "All Day, All Night," and "For Love," on which Prince can be heard on the backing vocals and the Revolution can be heard on all instruments. The closing track, "Baby, You're a Trip," was originally a Prince demo in the vein of "Purple Rain," and his backing track survives on this version. Jones' vocals are distinctive and passionate, and the influence of her mentor, Teena Marie, is evident throughout. The album was released on CD in 1987 but, due to a culmination of poor sales and poor promotion, was quickly deleted and has now become very sought after.
