Album Review: "To Whom This May Concern" by Jill Scott

"To Whom This May Concern" by Jill Scott album cover
Jilly from Philly is back! You heard correctly, one of the pioneers of the neo soul movement during and after its heyday from the mid 1990s to the early 2000s, Jill Scott has released her sixth studio album titled "To Whom This May Concern". This release comes after an eleven year gap between her most recent release and her last release which was titled "Woman". With hits such as "A Long Walk", "Golden", "Hate on Me" under her impressive belt it should be surprising that long time fans were exhilarated when she announced her latest project.  

Jill Scott described her 2026 album, To Whom This May Concern, as a deeply personal and reflective project born from a need to share her life experiences, stating, "I feel like I've created quite a bit. I'm very proud of what I said, how I feel, the emotions that are here, the thought process, the musicianship, it's time to put out an album". 

She further described the album's creation as a necessary release after a long hiatus, explaining, "It's a lot of living in this album. It's a lot of revelation. Musically, it's a full spectrum".

Let us dive in and see what she has in store for us with her latest release!

Woman in The Mirror by Sacha album cover Ads can be such a nuisance! However, we have all had a moment where those pesky advertisements can be life changing. My discovery of the Canadian country artist Sacha can be counted as one of those life changing moments. After watching the video for "Later Tonight" by John Ross, YouTube played an ad of song called Shooting Star. Curiosity got the better of me so I went to the video to hear the entire song.

Album Review: "June" By De'Wayne

"june" by DE'WAYNE album cover "She's a synthesizer, Orchestrates the band, She's got the whole world, Wrapped around her finger, She's a synthesizer, Baby don't you understand, She's my heaven she's my earth, She's my woman she's my man." Lyrics taken from  https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/dewaynejackson/synthesizer.html The song "synthesizer" was how I was introduced to the wonderful artist called De'Wayne. I came across a snippet of the video on Twitter and decided to give the song a listening ear and I instantly feel in love. This new discovery filled me with so much joy because as an avid music listener I  always seek to expand my musical horizons to listen to genres I usually do not follow. Therefore, coming across a Rock N Roll artist that I instantly liked was so exhilarating. I listened to the song until my own ears and music player got fed up with me and was even more elated when I discovered he was releasin...
