To say that the release of her 2006 sophomore effort, \u003ci\u003eThe High Road\u003c\/i\u003e, finds Jojo on the cusp of superstardom is a bit of an understatement. Featuring 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 \u003ci\u003eThe High Road\u003c\/i\u003e is a commercially oriented, radio-friendly contemporary pop-R\u0026amp;B album. What may be a surprise is that it is really, really good. 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. Coming 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.\" I\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Empire","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP | x2","offer_id":50474958061899,"sku":"1129410","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50474957603147,"sku":"1129406","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Jojo_c678378b_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1727440588"},{"product_id":"jojo","title":"JoJo","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst time on vinyl for JoJo's self-titled Blackground Records, Da Family-affiliated debut is a slick set of modern R\u0026amp;B in the vein of Brandy or Monica, with plenty of room to introduce its star's bigger-than-you'd-think presence. A bank of producers -- Vincent Herbert, Soulshock, Bink -- provide backgrounds that bump decidedly in the midrange -- there's a conscious effort to keep the focus on JoJo, and not whatever beats are currently making the grade. In other words, her vocals never sound detached from the goings-on behind her, or just a voice chattering over R\u0026amp;B generica. And this is promising, as the young singer really does have a tremendous voice. \"Breezy\" and \"Homeboy\" multi-track her trills, sulky whispers, and brassy wails over clicky percussion and a mixture of loops and instrumental snippets. Throughout there's talk of sheezies, throwbacks in the mix, cell phones, and the boy next door jilting poor JoJo. But even if the lyrics throughout are pretty interchangeable, vocally there's no doubt in her ability to carry the album, and the lack of irritating skits or attention-hogging guest shots is pretty refreshing. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Empire","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP | x2","offer_id":50474964910411,"sku":"1129405","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50474964353355,"sku":"1129404","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Jojo2_4a9cc8d9_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1727440660"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_ffc0fe77_thumbnail_4096_e3463247-1778-4cc1-b3a6-b779c58d220f.jpg?v=1727440556","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/jojo.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
