Jill Scott's New Sound, New Look On Ebony Magazine's June Cover

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Jill Scott is Ebony magazine’s June Music Issue cover girl with a “New Sound” and a “New Look”. Jill is slated to release her fourth studio album, “The Light of the Sun” after a four year hiatus. Jill Scott wasn’t missing from the scene entirely, in the interim, she toured, filmed the BBC/HBO series “The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency”, reprise her role in “Why Did I Get Married”, switched record labels and last but certainly not least, Jill gave birth to her first child, Jett. And least we forget, Ms. Jilly from Philly dropped 50lbs since giving birth.

Now with her proclaimed “new sound” and “new look” Jill Scott talks to Ebony magazine on her methods to slimming down,

“Anything that makes me feel like I’m not working out. We (Jill’s trainer) go outside and throw footballs, go for walks.”

Jill Scott shares her new insight on life,

“I’m past caring about some things that never mattered in the first place and [I’m] in love with my baby boy,” she says. “I’m also unafraid. I know how much music has always meant to me, how much it means to us all, and I know there’s someone out there, maybe just one someone, who can feel inspired by being brave.”

We’re looking forward to reading more of Jill’s interview and of course enjoying the new sound of “The Light of the Sun” on June 28th! Check out Jill Scott new look with behind the scenes footage of her Ebony cover shoot.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
