Similarly, "Good Ol'" is the best summer anthem ever to see release in the fall, and "'Comin' for You" smartly borrows some of Kelly Clarkson's rock energy. These are well-written, catchy pop songs with a healthy dose of hip-hop rhythm that serve as solid launching pads for Jojo's superb vocal abilities.Ĭoming off as a kind of urbanized Jennifer Aniston with the chops of Beyoncé, Jojo is an assured and likeable performer who can somehow embody the yin-yang persona of a suburban cheerleader slinging hip-hop attitude, as she does in the video for the ridiculously overwrought and utterly addictive lead-off single, "Too Little Too Late." It also helps that she's matured just enough so that her somewhat sexy persona makes a bit more sense now than it did in 2004, and she easily sells the cheeky and raw dance-funk of such tracks as "This Time" and "The Way You Do Me." However, it's the blissfully melodic ballads and mid-tempo anthems that make the biggest impression here.Ĭuts such as the gorgeous and dreamy "Like That" and "Anything," with its unexpectedly hip sampling of Toto's "Africa," make for gleefully enjoyable guilty pleasures.

Artist: Jojo Title: The High Road Label: Universal Rating: 6.5/10 CORPORATE LINE: Da Family/Blackground Records teen phenomenon JoJo hit un-chartered territory this week, making music history with her new song Too Little Too Late, the debut single from her sophomore album The High Road, which hits stores on October 17th. This nightmare they all say is my life now. What may be a surprise is that it is really, really good. Get the keys of the songs from The High Road (2006) by JoJo. A house and a car, to cover the scars But she knows Only a temporary fix But. To say that the release of her 2006 sophomore effort, The High Road, finds Jojo on the cusp of superstardom is a bit of an understatement.įeaturing production and songs by such in demand hitmakers as Swizz Beatz, Soulshock, and Scott Storch - the man who made Paris Hilton sound good - it should come as little surprise that The High Road is a commercially oriented, radio-friendly contemporary pop-R&B album. The High Road is scheduled to release Tuesday, October 17, 2006. I'm really looking forward to this album JoJo is a very talented singer and from the several previews to her stand out single, she has done another great job with this record. Released when she was just 13 years old, vocalist Jojo's 2004 eponymous debut was a bona fide hit album and garnered the young pop star a legion of equally youthful fans, as well as lead roles in two films, including the 2006 comedy RV alongside Robin Williams. Here is the album cover and track listing for JoJo's much anticipated sophomore follow-up.
