Airy Sounding Jill Scott type Vocal Reverb

Hello everyone, I'm mixing a song for a female vocalist and I'm trying to get her vocals to sound pretty and spacious like they do in the song "Getting in the Way" by Jill Scott



Jill Scott "Gettin' In The Way" - YouTube <-

I want the same reverb effect that she has on her voice throughout the song and I'm also trying to figure out how she makes her vocals sound a little bit more resonant & cutty throughyyy in the VERSE.

what plugins and settings can I use to achieve these two FX?

Any help would be appreciated and I'll return the favor on one of ur posts :)

(P.S. I've been using the Lexicon Native reverbs on her voice but they sound a little too dark and not as pretty as Jill Scott's)

Thank you very much :)

complementary eq - taking out what you do not need so cut everything below about 180Hz.

also need to add some air above 9kHz use a shelving eq (maybe with a baxandall curve)

minimal reverb i.e. there is reverb but it is short and decays quickly the reverb is a send fx that you put eq on after to tailor the sound to be less prominent than the vocal itself cut below 220Hz and above 9kHz
