“Man”
is the official single from JoJo’s upcoming new album good
to know, set for release May 1, 2020 on Clover
Music / Warner Records and available now for pre-order here.
With production from heavy hitters Doc McKinney [The
Weeknd, Santigold], Lido [Halsey, Chance The Rapper],
and 30 Roc [Roddy Ricch, Kendrick Lamar, Cardi B], good
to know is an R&B-infused, emotionally honest body of work
centered around JoJo’s new-found confidence, both musically
and personally.
JoJo elaborates, “I called the album good to know because
of everything I’ve learned in the past few years – every piece
of feedback, criticism (internal or external), whatever it is
– it’s all just information. And it’s all good! I’ve been lucky
to have the space to reflect on my own journey up to now, and
I hope people can take comfort in the fact that I am not anywhere
near perfect, and I will never sugarcoat anything. We are all
constantly living and learning, and that’s what makes this life
so fun.”
“It's
clear that the golden age of JoJo is still ahead of us.” NYLON

ABOUT
JOJO:
JoJo [born Joanna Levesque] is a chart-topping, award-winning
singer, songwriter, and actress who, at just 29 years old, is
already a veteran of the music industry, having released her
self-titled debut album when she was just 13. JoJo’s
breakout smash “Leave (Get Out)” rocketed to the top of the
charts, making JoJo the youngest-ever solo artist to have a
debut #1 single in the U.S. The album went on to sell over four
million copies and became the singer’s first Platinum record,
which she followed with a string of additional hits, most notably
the Top 3 single “Too Little Too Late.” In 2016, JoJo made a
heralded return to music with her first new album in 10 years,
Mad Love. – debuting Top 10 on the Billboard 200
and earning her unanimous critical acclaim from the likes of
TIME, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Cosmo,
Entertainment Weekly and more. Most recently, JoJo re-recorded
and re-released her first two albums (JoJo and The
High Road) under her own label Clover Music, not wanting
anyone to erase her legacy and story. She took back ownership
and was able to give fans the nostalgia that they missed during
her years of legal battles with her former label that prevented
the albums from existing on digital platforms. She has also
pushed herself outside the confines of genre, in the past year
alone collaborating with artists ranging from Jacob Collier
and Tank to PJ Morton, on the GRAMMY-winning R&B hit “Say So.”
Now signed to Warner Records as a joint venture with her own
Clover Music, JoJo is a self-made, authoritative and impassioned
29-year-old woman who is ready to write her next chapter.
