Pretty sure this is the first time JoJo has been playlisted on R1 since "Anything" in March 2007. 16 years! Hope she makes a few more smart collabs happen.

It obviously won't. They are completely different genres.

Pretty insane that BTS's album in August 2018 landed at 14th in the charts. Now their soloist may outpeak that with a surprise mixtape you can download for free. The growth is phenomenal.

Oh, that was exactly my reaction to the lyrics lol. It's only a couple but I will say that the sexual songs are... a lot. Anyway, Lonely Hearts is out. I love the writing. auY354Ec-kg

JoJo has always been an out and out R&B singer who was pushed into pop because she's a pretty white girl. She doesn't listen to much pop and didn't even like Leave (Get Out) in 2004 lol. That's inauthenticity, it just happened to produce some classic pop tracks. This album is just a continuation of her Agape mixtape, the first thing she ever did without any input from A&Rs. I'm sure it is jarring for people who prefer her pop stuff, but this is who she is. Also (spoiler), only a couple of songs are sexual really.

Didn't expect JoJo to even make top 70. I'd love a surprise playlisting.

The only similar thing is the chorus melody really, but they are similar. I think the beat drops in the second verse here and it ends with a lot of big notes.

That's one way to describe bad harmonies.

pretty much. The funny thing is that vocally, what actually matters, it's the opposite. Keisha and Mutya have such strong, distinct voices that have always blended so well together. Siobhan's soft, light tone fits in really nicely.

Yes. Even less than a buzz single, it's more of just a teaser. I'm guessing it will be the intro on her album like back2thebeginningagain and Music. I think it's great. Her voice sounds gorgeous and it's very rare to hear an original concept in "pop" these days. Her singing from the perspective of overly critical armchair "fans" is really cool and striking. I was hanging onto every line. Despite how simple it is, the video concept and execution are excellent and maybe her best. Mad Love was great but it lacked the thoughtfulness and specificity that she showed here and on her mixtapes.

Two serious korean tracks on Radio 1's playlists. What a time to be alive.

lol, you weren't lying about the shoutiness. I love her but sadly her voice has regressed a bit and her high belts are all really strained like on this song. That was very evident in all the We God Love performances. She wouldn't sound like this a few years ago

Halsey carries every chorus on the studio version. I guess they wanted to show both versions since they will be performing the Korean version in the video.

Nah. This is the start of a new album series and so there will almost certainly be 3 albums over the next year. I think the eldest member Jin will enlist in either 2020 or 2021. He's the least essential member so they could even release for another year without him. After that, I guess the rest will do some solo stuff.

I think RV sound so much better than her...
