JoJo, Mad Love. | Album Review 💿

After 10 long years, urban-pop musician JoJo returns with a respectable third studio album, ‘Mad Love’.

Adam Levine and Maroon 5 come over too breezy and too lightweight on new single “Don’t Wanna Know” featuring Kendrick Lamar.

Pop collective OneRepublic offers a variety of enjoyable, soundly produced records on their fourth studio album, ‘Oh My My.’

Comeback pop artist JoJo delivers a restrained, moving performance on final pre-release single, “Music.” from her 3rd studio album Mad Love.

Lady Gaga starkly contrasts promo single “Perfect Illusion” with country/folk-tinged, singer-songwriter ballad, “Million Reasons.”

On promo single “Love Me Now,” John Legend embraces the neo-, post-R&B script, embedding soulfulness within the context of pop.

Norah Jones makes a stunning return to form on ‘Day Breaks’, her first new album in four years (‘Little Broken Hearts’, 2012).

Cashmere Cat has a potential hit on his hands with “Trust Nobody.” He gets superb results with the help of Tory Lanez and Selena Gomez.

Up and coming eclectic musician gnash returns with “Something,” the follow-up to his breakthrough single, “I Hate U I Love U.”

The Chainsmokers returns with the follow-up to their no. 1 hit “Closer,” “All We Know,” enlisting assistance from Phoebe Ryan.

OneRepublic releases one final single, “A.I.,” ahead of their fourth studio album, Oh My My. The band receives an assist from Peter Gabriel.

Norah Jones rolls out one final pre-release single ahead of ‘Day Breaks’, “Tragedy.” It amplifies anticipation for the album.
