Jill Scott Signs Record Deal with Warner Brothers Records

Jill Scott has signed a distribution deal with Warner Brothers Records, after a settling a legal battle with her former label Hidden Beach.

Jill Scott is presently in the studio working on her upcoming album, "The Light of the Sun". The album is scheduled to be released in the early summer. While details about the set are still under wraps, the Grammy Award-winning singer gave fans a sneak peek of what to expect when she performed a track from the project during her 20-city national arena tour with Maxwell last year.

Besides being an established singer, Jill Scott is also a poet, actress, and a designer. She recently starred in Tyler Perry's "Why Did I Get Married Too," HBO's "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency," Lifetime Movie Network's "Sins of the Mother" and NBC's "Law & Order: SVU." She also wrote "The Moments, The Minutes, The Hours," a 2005 compilation of poems published by St. Martin 's Press that became a New York Times bestseller.

Jill Scott Covers Essence Magazine

Jill Scott graces the cover of May's Essence magazine, and she has tons to say about living life to the fullest. She also stars with Janet Jackson in Tyler Perry’s new movie “Why Did I Get Married Too?”, and will go on an exciting tour with Maxwell starting May 21st. Another great joy in her life is her son, who she joyfully discusses in Essence. 

“…Ever since I had my son, I feel like there’s a stitch of lava in my spine. I feel like I can do anything.” – Jill Scott, ESSENCE (May 2010)

“I felt completely overwhelmed by being a mom. I always wanted it, but when I actually got it, it was so much more than I had anticipated…”

“I’ve always liked and appreciated myself, but now it’s deeper and stronger and I like it.”

The soul singer is also set to release a new album “The Light of The Sing: Words and Sounds Vol. 4” later this year.
