The sun is out in NYC. The temperatures are finally above freezing level. It’s almost Aries season. And, speaking of, fellow Aries, my good sis Jill Scott, Miss Jilly from Philly, just announced her tour dates for new album To Whom This May Concern. I’ve of course had the project on repeat as well—especially tracks “Don’t Play” and “Pressha.” In other words, I’m feeling good! Thanks for asking.

In all seriousness, I am extremely excited for her tour. Not only because I will be singing my head off to virtually every song she’ll perform (if you saw me at Essence Festival last year or at her Who Is Jill Scott? anniversary tour in 2023, you know). But, I’m also excited because I’m ever-inspired by herdecoding=”async” src=”https://media.essence.com/vxcjywbwpa/uploads/2026/03/GettyImages-85366380-scaled.jpg” alt=”Jill Scott’s New Era, According To Her Stylist” width=”400″ height=”400″ />UNITED KINGDOM – JANUARY 01:Photo of Jill SCOTT(Photo by Sal Idriss/Redferns)

Another recent look defining her new chapter was her plaid, patchwork ‘fit for her Tiny Desk episode. This was before she fully emerged back on the scene with an all denim set and silk press for her Colors Studio session. And we certainly can’t forget the sultry glam, with makeup by Raisa Flowers and hair by Jadis Jolie, in the “Pressha” music video, >Miss Pamela Macklin.

When it comes to what we can expect from the tour, Macklin shares with us, “that she will continue to use her platform to promote Black Creatives! She wants to continue to use fashion to tell stories—hers and ours,” Macklin, who was also the former ESSENCE Fashion Director, starting in 1999, adds. “We have been playing with an unstructured structure, shapes, textures, and fabrics that read luxe—with comfort as our north star.”

And, unsurprisingly, when it comes to working with Scott, “I absolutely love contributing to the evolution,” Macklin notes. More importantly, “she is family and our relationship is deeper than wardrobe.”
You can catch Jill Scott on tour starting this June.
