Jimmy Scott Free returns with Turn Back Time, a focused, soulful house cut featuring the late Kim English. After a decade out, he steps back in with clarity and purpose—warm chords, a steady lift, and a vocal that lands exactly where it should.
Southend-born and now based between the Midlands and Barcelona, Jimmy came up the hard way: promoting nights at 15, building a reggae-style sound system with his brother, and taking their live dance act onto stages with Peter Hook and The Light, Groove Armada, and Skunk Anansie. The run earned Best Dance Track at the Exposure Music Awards in 2010.
Industry fatigue sent him to Spain, and the music paused. A friend’s nudge last year changed that. The studio went on, the writing followed, and Turn Back Time sets the tone—radio-ready but rooted in the grit of his live beginnings.
This single leads a series of releases toward a full album, with a potential new live show on the horizon. A simple video is in production, with studio footage likely to follow. The independent spirit remains—resilient, refined, and pointing forward.
