//Blog Bits: Teen Singer JoJo Talks About The Delay Of New Album//
JoJo, the teen singer who wowed the world at the tender age of 13 with her debut single “Leave (Get Out)” is hard at work on her third album. She’s quickly learning that if you’re not constantly in the public’s face, people start to think you’re hibernating. Not true, says the now 18-year-old, and she took to her blog to vent her frustrations over the delay of her eagerly awaited project:
I’m writing this to vent a bit… Perhaps I’m a bit overzealous to release the new material that I’ve recorded out as the process of waiting becomes increasingly agitating by the week. Friends, family, folks I meet on the street have been asking me “When are you coming out with something new?” And unfortunately, I don’t have a concrete answer. And then there’s my favorite question- “Are you DOING anything?” Lol… yes. I promise I don’t sit around on my sofa in sweatpants all day. Although I’m not on tv, magazines, radio right now- I’m still working below the radar putting the new songs together and get things ready. I do my part and will energetically and enthusiastically continue to do so- but its also very much so up to the other people involved in the behind-the-scenes aspect of my project. Its frustrating and inauspicious to feel out of control in certain areas of life, but I ultimately I believe that everything happens for a reason and will serve as a learning experience. I think that when things don’t go down exactly the way you envisioned them happening, there is a purpose behind it. Right now, I’m throwing myself wholeheartedly into finishing my senior year, getting into tip-top shape (slowly but surely), painting, writing songs, contemplating and reading movie scripts, and weighing my options overall. I wish I could divulge the behind-the-scenes things that are interrupting the flow of delivering the album, but it is complicated and confusing even to me, someone who’s in middle of the whole thing. I am still recording and still very focused on, fully committed to, and intensely inspired by the promise of the future. I know that I’ve learned a lot from the last few months and Im sure I’ll absorb a whole lot more in months to come.
I believe that if/when the time comes- the waiting, the doubts, the questions, and the wondering- will have all been worth it. I’m only 18! I feel like my life is just beginning… I just gotta walk in faith and keep things in perspective.
Wheew! Just wanted to get that off my chest. Sorry if it was a little confusing… i know I often tend to aimlessly ramble on! lol…Lots of love,
Jo

I don’t know if this is going straight to Jo, but I just want to say your the most beautiful singer I’ve seen in a long while. Don’t get me wrong I’m not old I’m only 24. Ever since I seen you, it was love at first sight. But I won’t stalk you, LOL!. Your great and all but not worth spending jail time for a harassment charge. LOL! Well I just wanted to say that some of your music actually touches something within me that makes your music speak to me. Just wanted to say thanks. I’m also a singer, well I can only sing other peoples songs… LOL! Thanks for reading this ridiculous paragraph. Take care.
Your Soldier,
Josh C.
Good luck–I was just surfing the ‘net and found your latest single. May I say that you are very good as a singer, and I wish you the best of luck in keeping your career moving forward. You seem to me deserving of that. Just a friendly word of support. –C.Walsh
