Returning to the scene after a decade of silence, Jimmy Scott Free steps into the light with her new anthem of change, “Turn Back Time.” Boasting the unmistakable vocals of the late house legend Kim English, the track is at once a moving tribute and a defiant statement of comeback. Born in Southend but now based somewhere between the Midlands and Barcelona, Jimmy Scott Free has created something of a cross-border, soul fusion life. This track captures that duality, rooted in tradition, yet strides out toward the new.
There’s also a strong underpinning of memories sewn into the production, the kind that transports you back to crowded dance floors, hands held high in the air while flashing lights fill the room. But flowing alongside those memories is a current of rejuvenation, a reminder that music is not solely about yearning for the past; it’s also about reanimating the past and making it into something living and vital. In that way, “Turn Back Time” reconciles memory and momentum, not just echoing the artist’s journey but the enduring urgency of Kim English’s voice.
“Turn Back Time” somehow captures that rare magic of a song that feels both instantaneously familiar and refreshingly new. It’s constructed on the bedrock of ecstatic house grooves, exultant vocals, and a warmth that testifies to the resilience of an artist who has bridged the gulf between who he was and who he is. For Jimmy Scott Free, this is more than a comeback, but it’s a statement of intent for the UK music scene, and it’s saying Listen to me. With “Turn Back Time,” Jimmy Scott Free shows that receding isn’t the same as disappearing. Sometimes, it means coming back stronger, funnier, maybe a little sharper and more certain that the music is supposed to do something: move both body and soul.
