Fans of Jojo‘s first two outings, ‘Jojo’ [2004] and ‘The High Road’ [2006], had no clue it would be over 10 years before they got their hands on her official tertiary release.  However, after years of legal battles and working the independent and digital circuits with mixtapes and EPs, the singer/songwriter’s long-awaited third album – ‘Mad Love’ – finally made its way to mass availability on October 14th.  

Lined with features from rappers Wiz Khalifa and Remy Ma, as well as singer/songwriter Alessia Cara, the project boasts Jo at her most mature with penning and vocal chops to match.  Showing sharp, yet intentional straddle of the genres of Urban and pop (without leaning too far either way), ‘Mad Love’ is sure to get its namesake from longtime fans who’ve long learned to love the duality of the diva’s deliveries.

Gaining some new fans along the way, tuck in below to see how the public banned together to support the ‘F**k Apologies’ belter’s newest offerings:
