Jill Scott Returns With To Whom This May Concern

Jill Scott is stepping back into the spotlight with intention and heart as she announces her long awaited sixth studio album To Whom This May Concern arriving February 13. After nearly a decade without a full length project, this release feels less like a comeback and more like a homecoming. Jill has never been an artist who chases moments. She creates them, and this new chapter continues her legacy of offering music that speaks directly to the spirit. The first single Beautiful People sets the emotional tone immediately, gliding in with warmth and affirmation, reminding listeners of the quiet power in tenderness, truth, and showing up fully for one another.

At its core, To Whom This May Concern is a meditation on connection and collective humanity. The album leans into themes of love, resilience, and shared experience, grounded in the same grit and grace that has defined Jill’s voice from the beginning. Sonically, the project feels expansive yet deeply rooted, weaving together stories that feel both personal and universal. Jill brings together a dynamic group of collaborators including Ab Soul, J.I.D., Tierra Whack, and Too Short, each adding texture and perspective without ever pulling the project away from its soulful center. The production team is just as rich, featuring Adam Blackstone, Om’Mas Keith, DJ Premier, Camper, Andre Harris, Seige Montracity, Trombone Shorty, Eric Wortham, DW Wright, and VT Tolan, creating a soundscape that feels layered, intentional, and alive.

The release arrives on the heels of a milestone year celebrating the twentieth anniversary of Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol. 1, the groundbreaking debut that helped redefine modern soul and earned her a Grammy Award. Jill spent the past year reconnecting with audiences across North America on a sold out anniversary tour, creating intimate moments that proved her music still lives where memory, desire, and truth collide. That same spirit carries into this new album, which feels like a continuation rather than a departure, honoring where she has been while opening space for where she is now.

Visually, To Whom This May Concern is just as expressive. The album artwork was created in collaboration with acclaimed visual artist Marcellus, whose vibrant, textured imagery helped shape the emotional world of the project. The visuals mirror the music itself, poetic, colorful, and full of movement, where melodies feel like brushstrokes and joy arrives with a knowing wink. With this release, Jill Scott is not just offering new music. She is offering a reminder that art rooted in love and intention still has the power to bring us back to ourselves and to each other.

To Whom This May Concern arrives February 13. Beautiful People is available now on all streaming platforms.
