The future’s bright, the future’s free for singer JoJo.
January brought with it the announcement the star’s army of fans had been patiently awaiting – her contract with previous label had been dissolved in December after a lengthy legal battle.
Now, having signed a new deal with Atlantic Records, the 23-year-old is wasting no time cooking up her eagerly anticipated third studio album.
In new interview with ABC News, the Boston-bred belter provides an insight into what her supporters can expect.
Peep excerpts after the jump…
On The Legal Battle Being Over:
“I’m super happy to not have to think about it anymore. I’m just excited for the next chapter and I’m just completely focused on the future and the present and leaving the past in the past.”
On Her New Album/Label:
“I just can’t wait to create a classic album and to work my ass off and I know they’ll [Atlantic Records] do the same. They’ve been amazing.”
On How Album Will Sound:
“You can expect a diverse collection of songs that help to explain me as a young woman and I think will speak to what it means to be a young woman in 2014, which isn’t just girl power anthems or boy-bashing songs, but it’s a wide variety of different influences”.
On Keeping Fans Stocked Up With New Music:
“I want to continue putting out content. I don’t know whether it’ll be in the form of a mixtape or just a few one-off songs, but I just think content is content. So, I just want to keep releasing stuff and kind of having it all lend itself to my world that I’m creating.”
On Her Official New Single:
“I think our aim is to have a single out this summer. I’m getting into the studio as soon as I get back to L.A…locking in and just creating.”
On Touring:
“Yes, (I will tour) for sure.
I’m going to do it all. I want to work harder than I’ve ever worked in my entire life. It’s incredible. I have energy in places that I never thought I’d have energy. I feel like I was reborn, honestly.”

Yessss!!! Ariana who?
Grande
Ariana the girl who actually has a team behind her that cares
Naw ariana who had a platinum top 10 single but couldnt sell more than Keyshia Cole LMAOOOOO
Ariana grande is amazing, she is underrated as talent here
I do agree that Ariana is with a better team. I love Jojo but I was hoping with the new label deal she would have sought out new management also. But she is still with the same horrible management. She should try to get with Scooter Braun. He loves him some white artist that are R&b influenced and Jojo was out before Justin, Ariana and Tori and should fit right in.
She has the skills. But she needs to be with a team that knows how to move her career forward and get her more exposure.
I Am so excited!!! It’s been a long time coming! Jojo is the definition of perseverance and growth! Let’s not turn this into a stan war guys 🙂 Ariana is great too.
That Ciara stan Molly is a f****** hater lmao!! Jojo > ariana > dirt on the bottom of my shoe > C-Error. “loveJo” EP was so bad ass. #playsglory – your favs could never sing a track like that!! Bring on summer!!
Far from a hater mama.
Sam should rename this site thathaterade.net. So many miserable people on here chomping at the bout to cut other people down.
Jojo is a beast and I’m very excited to hear her new material.
MOLLY THE MAID F*** YOU. DON’T BE MAD BECAUSE JOJO IS MORE RELEVANT THAN CICI EVEN WITH A 7 YEAR HIATUS
so excited!
Finally! She is one of the few vocalists from this era that I genuinely enjoy. I honestly hope she does well. She deserves it considering she was robbed of many opportunities to succeed years ago.
More talk and more promises as usual. Just bring us the music. That’s all I want.
Lol @ JoJo’s five stans always coming for Ariana. Focus on pushing JoJo, Ariana is doing just fine. I hope it works out for her.
And this is why this website turns to sh*t…The minute an artist decides to make a move the stans begin to war..this is DISGUSTING..can we please just grow up and start supporting other artists…damn…and i could give give a sh*t on anyone who comes to follow with an immature and pathetic statement..Let the artist live! Congrats to JoJo ..i can’t wait!
YESSSSS JOJO SCALP FLOPRIANA FLOPDE BY HER 2ND GRADE PONYTAIL #REALVOCALS #REALTALENT #DOESNTSINGTHRUHERNOSE
I remember when I was in the 10th grade when the last song I heard from jojo was pretty big.
She fell off the planet. Let’s hope this isn’t a nelly furtado case
I love me some Jojo!!!!! Can’t wait for her return to music
