Joanna Noëlle Levesque, who decides to go by the stage name JoJo, is a 29-year-old R&B vocal powerhouse from the states. The singer rose to ultimate stardom when she was only 13 with “Leave (Get Out)”, the smash single from her eponymous debut album released in 2004. The track skyrocketed to number 2 on the UK Singles Chart, followed by “Baby It’s You“, the second single that peaked at number 8 on the chart.
After breaking out into the music scene with such impressive achievements and vocal talent, JoJo returned with “Too Little Too Late” in 2006. Cut off her sophomore album The High Road, the track again climbed up to number 4 on the single chart and became one of the songstress’s classics, as it sold more than 400,000 copies and was certified gold by BPI.
Despite achieving many successes in music from a string of smash singles and two studio albums, the singer underwent legal battles with her former record label Blackground Records. After releasing The High Road, the singer was trying to drop the third album, but the label—according to JoJo—had been neglecting her attempt to do so. In 2009, she filed a lawsuit against Da Family Entertainment/Blackground for putting her into musical limbo.
While being trapped in the contract with Blackground, JoJo still kept on making music and released two mixtapes: Can’t Take That Away from Me (2010) and Agápē (2012). In 2013, the singer and the label finally reached agreement outside court, and she then signed a new contract with Atlantic Records, which subsequently helped her release Mad Love. in 2016. The album received moderate success with singles like “Fuck Apologies.“, “FAB.“, and “Music.”
This year, the singer has finally returned with new music and new tour under a new label. Sometime in this spring, JoJo will drop her fourth LP titled Good to Know via her own label Clover Music in a joint deal with Warner Records. “Sabotage” is the first taste into the forthcoming record. The song showcases JoJo’s growth into artistry and signature vocal talent as usual.
In September, JoJo will land in UK soil for her first tour in over three years since the promotion of Mad Love. in 2017. The UK leg will kick off on September 2 in Glasgow, followed by four more shows in big cities. See the tour dates below, and prepare for the tickets which are available this Friday.
