Album of the Day
Mad Love
A TV appearance on America's Most Talented Kids got Joanna “JoJo” Levesque her first record deal and the rise from there was meteoric, with a Platinum-selling debut to her name by age 14. A dispute with original label Blackground made for a 10-year delay between albums two and three, but MAD LOVE was worth the wait. While the 2016 Atlantic collection features the R&B-tinged pop that made the singer-songwriter a star, these 11 originals display confidence and maturity far beyond her earlier work. Aided by a raft of top producers (and such guest vocalists as Wiz Khalifa and Remy Ma), JoJo knocks songs like “Fuck Apologies,” “FAB” and the title track out of the park. A Billboard Top 10 hit, this coming-of-age collection is filled with MAD LOVE for life, romance and music.
