Great Scott - A new album for Jill

You heard right my favourite female singer at the moment Jill Scott will have a brand new double CD, called ‘The Experience’, on store shelves this coming November. Disc 1 will feature all live tracks, most of which were recorded during her concerts the last year from dates in the USA.

The second disc however, is made up of nine studio cuts, seven of which are brand new. The other two are a remix of one of the tracks from her debut set plus a new mix on the cut Jill just contributed to the 4hero album, a song that she has now re-titled ‘Gotta Get Up’. Look out for it you know it's going to be the bomb if her debut is any indication

Where has 'The Menu' gone

I thank you all for the emails and kind words that was said about my show they are welcomed. I unfortunately don't have a say as to when the show will be back on the air.

The station has been moved to a new location and facility but management has not yet contacted me about when I'll be back on. I wish I had more to tell you but that's about the brunt of it I'm afraid. I'll keep you posted when I know more .
