NEWS: Jill Scott Responds To Hidden Beach Allegations


As previously mentioned here, Hidden Beach are allegedly suing Jill Scott for supposedly breaching her contract with them and now it seems Jill has actually responded to the reports that she is being sued, here is what the statement read:


“The lawsuit filed on February 3, 2010 by Hidden Beach Recordings against Jill Scott has no legal merit and misrepresents the history of Ms. Scott’s relationship with the label,” the statement reads. “Jill Scott has the legal right to terminate her recording contract with Hidden Beach Recordings under California’s 7-year rule, where she had been a recording artist for more than 10 years. During her time at Hidden Beach Recordings, she released several highly successful albums. At this time, with many creative projects in the works which include music, film and television roles and product development, Ms. Scott looks forward to continuing to further her artistry and building the Jill Scott brand in other creative environments.”

This is very interesting and I understand completely that Jill wants to move onto pastures new with her work. Who wouldn’t when you’ve been in a set place for such a long time? She probably feels ready for a change. I just hope and pray that this works itself out and us fans get a new CD from Jill Scott, the last thing we need is an album placed on hiatus, I need to hear something new from Jill, I’m having withdrawels since the release of her last album. Haha!
