Last week a video of JoJo venting her frustrations at her record label over their handling of her 3rd album ‘All I Want Is Everything’ hit the net. Interestingly, today an apparent 3 track sampler of the record surfaced on the net, featuring the tracks ‘Fearless’, ‘Touch Down’ and ‘Underneath’. Having really enjoyed JoJo’s last effort ‘The High Road’, with its effortless R&B/Pop fusion, much of this is sounding a little run-of-the-mill Pop (that would have been the business about 3 years ago). With the production credits on the album including Timbaland, Darkchild and Sean Garret, I was hoping for a more Urban-tinged Pop affair. That said, ‘Touch Down’ sounds like a winner.
*Update* JoJo released the following on her MySpace:
“Someone brought it to my attention that there are three songs floating around that people are claiming is a part of an “All I Want is Everything” album sampler. These songs are NOT ON THE ALBUM nor do they represent the sound or direction of this record. We are only considering one of those songs for the final finished product. Its just a bit frustrating when there has been such a long wait for new material, and then things that I wouldnt have put out somehow get out. I’ve also seen fake “tracklistings” floating around. These listings are completely inaccurate and i have absolutely no idea who created them. Once the official tracks for the album are chosen, you will be the first to know!”
Your thoughts?
Jojo is very talented – her voice is pretty impressive. Did she start singing when she was 14?
