With an agile, impressive voice, JoJo has now been lighting up the pop world with her vocal acrobatics and raw, lush, and introspective tracks since she was only 13 years old when she became the youngest female solo artist with a number one hit with “Get Out.” Whether she is tearing it up with thick, layered vocals over catchy tracks or stripping down to bare acoustic essentials on introspective ballads, JoJo can easily step into a variety of musical atmospheres and create great songs.
Her latest release, Good to Know clocks in at 9 songs and 29 minutes, it’s short, but each track is well-crafted, showing off the singer’s ever-impressive vocal talents, her unabashedly direct and open lyrics, and her love of lush, soulful R&B, with each song forming a part in the larger journey across the tracks. JoJo is back and better than ever.
I loved the new album; it’s great. It seems to really have evolved musically from your previous work. What brought you to that point?
Just life. Well, I would hope that as we all get older and have more experiences, we naturally evolve, so I completely attribute it to anything other than just that thing that happens as we continue to change, you know what I mean? It’s been four years since my last album, and I’ve gotten more confident, more comfortable, and, and just brought more trust into the process.
