Soul Legend Jill Scott Announces Her New LP 'Woman'

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

When Jill Scott makes a move, the rest of this Earth shuts up and gives her their clear, undivided attention. That's exactly what's happening on our little terraqueous globe today, because the Philadelphia soul legend has announced a brand new record, set to drop on July 24th and entitled, simply, perfectly, Woman. Billboard reports that the record (Scott's fifth full-length) will harken her return to collaboration with writer, Andre Harris with whom she worked on hits including "Long Walk Home" and "Is it The Way." Miss Scott also worked alongside producer and writer Aaron Pearce on Woman.

We were given a taste of Scott's new project with "Fool's Gold," the first single off of Woman, but soon we'll be reveling in the new full-length release. Listen to its lead-off track below and check out Jill's full list of summer tour schedule below.
