jillscott-Billboard-coverA word that captures Jill Scott’s vibe of late? “Free.”

“That’s the word I’ve been using,” Scott says with a laugh. She’s calling in from Baltimore, one of the stopovers on a promotional tour in support of her new album, “The Light of the Sun.” With its June 21 release, Scott — singer, songwriter, actor, poet — not only ends a four-year hiatus from new music, but her fourth studio album is the first project under a recently minted distribution partnership between her Blues Babe Records and Warner Bros…
