JoJo CD Review
Courtesy of UniversalIf your
R&B collection is as stale as a three day old donut, then maybe it's
time you met JoJo. She's not old enough to drive yet but she's got
enough soul for someone three times her age.
Way to Go JoJo
JoJo's self-titled debut album
will impress even the most skeptical R&B fan. Sure JoJo is young, but so were
Monica and
Beyoncé when they started, and look at them now. JoJo's voice has a maturity well beyond her years and she keeps her lyrics real - you won't hear JoJo singing about getting with her
best friend's man or how much bling she has. She's a real girl who writes about
real life (and she
keeps her clothes on!). As an added bonus, JoJo's single,
Leave (Get Out) will have you shaken your booty 'til the sun comes up. It's an instant summer dance hit.
Uh-Oh JoJo
While JoJo's album is a
mature effort for someone her age, she still shows signs of being
musically undeveloped. The songs can get a bit cliché (didn't
Christina sing about this stuff last week?) and a lot of them tend to
sound the same. If you've heard Leave (Get Out) on the radio, you pretty much already know how the rest of the album sounds.
JoJo - Final Verdict
There is
no doubt that this girl can sing. Her music is catchy and it'll make for
great beach music this summer. While this album is good, not great, it's guaranteed that her next will be an
instant hit. Check her out so that when she's huge in a few years you can say you've been listening to her since the
summer of '04.
