A soulful, jazz-infused track from the returning artist.
09 · 01 · 2026
Today, Jill Scott unveils her impactful new single ‘Pressha’, the second release from her sixth studio album, ‘To Whom This May Concern’, which will be independently released on February 13 through her Blues Babe label.
‘Pressha’ is built on expansive jazz melodies, created and engineered by Adam Blackstone and Vincent “VT” Tolan, serving as a soulful anthem of freedom. With her signature honest storytelling, Scott addresses the unseen burdens of societal expectations, including beauty standards, social status, and the pressure to fit in.
Through both educational and introspective narratives, Scott explores the emotional journey of being sought after, desired, and ultimately not selected, laying bare the delicate illusion of a “happily ever after” based on false notions.
‘Pressha’ follows Scott’s album announcement and her first single ‘Beautiful People’. The upcoming 19-track album is characterized as “an offering to all.” Returning with a wealth of tales, spirit, and soul, Scott creates a work that is a blend of magic, healing, and expertise.
As a true collaborator, the album features a range of talented artists including Ab-Soul, J.I.D., Tierra Whack, and Too $hort, along with distinguished producers such as Adam Blackstone, Om’Mas Keith, DJ Premier, Camper, Andre Harris, Seige Montracity, Trombone Shorty, Eric Wortham, DW Wright, and VT Tolan.
