From W.HYYY in Philadelphia, this is Fresh Air Weekend. I'm Tanya Mosley. Today, musician Jill Scott.

She shares some of the lessons she learned from the legends who came before her, including the moment she first met Aretha Franklin and what the Queen of Seoul asked her to do.

Go to the corner and get me two hot dogs with cooked onions and mustard.

And I went.

Yes.

Also, actor Riz Ahmed talks about his new series, Bait.

He plays a British Pakistani actor, auditioning to be the next James Bond.

When writing the script, he drew for moments in his own life. Like the time he got kicked out of a supermarket, the same week it was revealed he was in Star Wars. And we get into it back and forth and I'm so frustrated at one point, I go, dude, I'm not shoplifting, I'm Star Wars, man. And they got, okay, this person's definitely crazy. And you're bad. It never coming back here.

That's coming up on Fresh Air Weekend.

This is Fresh Air Weekend. I'm Tanya Mosley. My first guest today is singer, songwriter, and actor, Jill Scott.

She released her sixth studio album

to whom this may concern last month,

her first new music in a decade.

Here's a single from the album

called Prussia.

I wanted you to be mine

in the daytime as well as the night but you needed to hide me and I just don't sit right I wasn't deesthetic

I guess I guess I get it

So much pressure

To appear just like them

Pretty and cosmetic

Elementary alphabetic, so much pressure to appear just like them.
