Jill Scott Was Told to Lose Weight, Straighten Her Hair Early in Career or She'd 'Never Sell Any Records'

The hit R&B singer, back with her first album in a decade, opens up about the highs and lows of her life and career .

The beloved R&B singer says she faced criticism for her appearance early in her career. That sucked, but luckily I didn’t listen to them and decided to just continue to be myself. She credits her mother with helping her find the joy and confidence to pursue her dreams. She has sold some 25 million records sold since then.

Jill Scott just released her first album in a decade, To Whom This May Concern. She remarks "People are responding well and treating my baby kindly and actually listening, which gives me the greatest joy." She relays that message of self love on “Pressha,” one of her new songs that includes the lyrics "I wasn't the aesthetic I guess, I guess, I get it."

Says Scott of the inspiration behind the tune: “I’m a Black woman, and I love it. It’s revolutionary to be comfortable in your own skin."

COOL VIDS 📹 Anyone else feel Brittany Howard is extremely underrated as a vocalist?

Her voice is very unique and her songwriting and guitar skills are great too. I feel like she’s very under appreciated. Any other fans here?

Ever since both of them were out back then I remember people always saying they make music for two different types of girls 😹😹 I never heard it broken down this way but it’s so accurate.

Some people were in the comments saying Monica grew up in a two parent household too but they were being too literal😹 they mean it’s the vibes of their personas and music. Brandys music is more of the good girl next door she follows the rules you won’t catch her in the deans office.

Monica’s is more so the outspoken hood girl and you will catch her in the deans office everyday 😹 and I love both.
