Her upcoming single is titled "Born 2B Beautiful," produced by Joe Dillilio and Joshua Staar, and mixed by Grammy winner, Ryan Freeland (Aimee Mann, Jonathan Brooks, Alana Davis, Bonnie Raitt). It's an anthem to empower people to embrace the legacy of beauty they've been gifted rather than "buy in" to the fallacy that beauty is a commodity.

The tagline “It takes only one compassionate soul to save us from the ruin” reflects Jill's impassioned plea for us all to be kind to one another in this ever growing chaotic world. The song was produced by Gary Belniak, in conjunction with Redfish Recordings.
Her 2017 single, “Get Your Smile On” is a ukulele based jam produced by TJ Martin of Back House Productions. The song was inspired by sun filled summer days spent in Michigan with her young children with hopes to fill the listeners with "feel good" vibes reminiscent of Jason Mraz's “I'm Yours.”
Through her nonprofit endeavor, Melody 4 Change, Jill partnered with several company's and businesses to support their missions to empower youth. Her acoustic anthem "When I Dream" encouraging girls to be bold, unique, and dream big which was licensed for the children's apparel company Pigtail Pals.
