Love Jones (soundtrack)

Love Jones: The Music is the soundtrack to Theodore Witcher's 1997 film Love Jones. It was released on March 11, 1997, via Sony Music. The album features a blend of R&B, neo-soul, jazz, and spoken word, reflecting the film's poetic and intimate tone. It includes contributions from artists such as Lauryn Hill, Dionne Farris, Maxwell, Meshell Ndegeocello, and The Brand New Heavies, among others.

The soundtrack was a commercial success, peaking at number 3 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and reaching the top 20 of the Billboard 200. The album's standout track, "The Sweetest Thing" by Refugee Camp All-Stars featuring Lauryn Hill, became a hit single and marked one of her first musical releases outside of the Fugees. Maxwell's "Sumthin' Sumthin' (Mellosmoothe)" also gained lasting recognition and remains one of his most beloved deep cuts.
