From her time singing for Teena Marie and touring with Rick James to her stint as Prince's best friend and long-term backing vocalist, Jill Jones has worked with many of the biggest names in pop. With new music on the horizon, join us now as she speaks exclusively to Dan Whitell of The Cacophony Sessions - candidly discussing her career and not holding back when it comes to her disdain for the industry!
Jill has a new album - "The London Sessions" - which will be released on 16/04/24 through Nero Music and available to stream on Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, Amazon and YouTube. In the mean time you can listen to singles 'Red' and 'Unattainable Love' over on Spotify right now!
