Jill Scott Returns With First Album in 11 Years
Three-time Grammy winner Jill Scott releases her sixth studio album 'To Whom This May Concern' after more than a decade-long hiatus.

Three-time Grammy Award winner Jill Scott has ended her 11-year recording hiatus with the release of her sixth studio album, "To Whom This May Concern," now available on streaming platforms.
The album marks Scott's first full-length project since 2015's "Woman," bringing her distinctive neo-soul sound back to fans who have been waiting over a decade for new material. Known for her powerful vocals and deeply personal songwriting, Scott has built a devoted following throughout her career spanning more than two decades.
While not K-Pop, Scott's influence on contemporary R&B and soul has crossed cultural boundaries, with many Asian artists citing her as an inspiration. Her return comes at a time when genre-blending collaborations between Western and Asian artists are increasingly common in the music industry.
Scott first gained recognition in the late 1990s as part of The Roots' collaborative circle before launching her solo career with 2000's "Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol. 1." That debut album went double platinum and established her as a major force in neo-soul alongside artists like Erykah Badu and D'Angelo.
Throughout her career, Scott has earned three Grammy Awards and multiple nominations, while also pursuing acting roles in films and television. Her previous albums have consistently topped R&B charts and earned critical acclaim for their honest exploration of relationships, identity, and personal growth.
The title "To Whom This May Concern" suggests the personal, letter-like quality that has characterized much of Scott's work. Fans can expect the introspective lyricism and rich musical arrangements that have defined her sound since her debut.
With the music landscape having changed dramatically during her absence, Scott's return offers both longtime fans and new listeners a chance to experience her artistry in the current streaming era.
