Jill Scott Signs With Warner Bros.

With over 4 million records sold, three time Grammy Award winning singer/actress/poet Jill Scott has announced a new distribution deal with Warner Bros. Records. The resulting relationship has birthed her fourth studio album, The Light Of The Sun, to be released later this year.

Asked about the new project, the Philly native revealed:

“I’ve always looked to empower my fans through my message of love, independence and strength,” comments Jill. A lot has gone on in my life since my last album, so I’m extremely excited to share the new music with all of the people that have supported me these past ten plus years. This album is very revealing, and I can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”

Fans can expect to hear a preview of the Jill's new album when she headlines the upcoming Essence Music Festival alongside Kanye West and Mary J. Blige, July 4th weekend. I don't know about you all but, I can't wait to hear some good music!
