JoJo has not released an album since her 2006 sophomore effort, The High Road, but if it was up to her, the people would be soaking up a new LP. In an interview with The Rolling Stones, the singer-songwriter says she would love to release a project through the proper cycles, but because of her record label, she's caught up in a fire storm.
"Well, I haven't recorded an album in so long that I don't recall what it's like. But I want to release an album with the support of a reputable company, one that has distribution, pays its bills and has respect in the business," says Jojo. " It's hard to flourish as an artist when the industry as a whole wants nothing to do with the label you are signed to."
Things are so atrocious with JoJo and her label that there are no communication between the two. "I don't have a relationship with Blackground. They've stopped communicating with me, and they're unable to promote, market and distribute an album," she adds.
We feel for JoJo, maybe she should link with Drake and write a diss record, one similar to her rendition of the rapper's "Marvin's Room," which she says was due to a guy.
"One morning in New York, I was really hung over. I drank too much because I was really f**ked up over a situation with this guy. And my best friend called me: "You've gotta hear 'Marvin's Room' – it reminds me of you." I wasn't in the mood to listen to anything, but he forced me to listen to it, and I was immediately inspired to get on my phone to write down what I was feeling at that time," JoJo says about her take on the well received record. "I wasn't ballsy enough to tell him what I felt, but that song gave me the courage I needed in real life."
Jojo is a rising star in the music industry and has been making waves with her powerful voice, soulful lyrics, and captivating stage presence. But behind the scenes, Jojo’s record label has been causing her grief by failing to communicate effectively with her. In an exclusive interview, she reveals how their lack of communication has put a strain on their relationship and hindered her career progress.
In this article, we’ll explore what went wrong between Jojo and her label, why it was so difficult for them to reach out to each other, and what actions they both took (or didn’t take) that made things worse. We’ll also get some insight into Jojo’s thoughts on labels in general and how she believes artists should be treated by those who are supposedly helping them succeed.
By the end of our conversation with Jojo, you’ll have a better understanding of just how frustrating it can be when an artist doesn’t feel heard or supported by their label — a situation all too common in today’s music industry.
Jojo’s Struggles With Her Label
JoJo has been struggling with her record label for some time now. Despite her best efforts, communication between the two parties seems to have come to a standstill. She’s tried reaching out numerous times but doesn’t receive any response from them. It’s not just JoJo who is affected by this lack of communication: Her team and fans are also feeling the strain as they haven’t heard much news from their beloved artist in recent months.
The issues began shortly after she signed the contract back in 2020 when everything seemed to be going well. Since then, things have become increasingly difficult for both sides due to miscommunication, misunderstandings, and other disagreements that can happen in business relationships. As a result, there has been no progress on any projects or initiatives that were planned before the pandemic hit. Now it looks like nothing will get done unless something changes soon.
At this point, all JoJo can do is wait and hope that her label will eventually respond so they can work together again in harmony and create more amazing music for everyone to enjoy. Until then, she wants people to know that she is still fighting hard for what she believes in–and most importantly–her supporters should never give up on her either!
Reasons Behind Communication Breakdown
Despite her ongoing efforts to keep the lines of communication open, it’s become increasingly difficult for JoJo and her label to reach a resolution. While both parties have some legitimate concerns that need to be addressed, there are underlying reasons why they’ve stopped communicating with each other. One possibility is that the contract between them was not properly negotiated in the first place, leading to misunderstandings and discrepancies that can’t be resolved without further discussion. Additionally, the pandemic has resulted in major changes for everyone involved as they adjust their operations accordingly–which could also be causing delays or complications when trying to communicate about important matters.
Regardless of the cause, it’s clear that something needs to change if any progress is going to be made on future projects or initiatives. Hopefully now that both sides understand what’s at stake, they can put aside their differences and come together again in order to work out an agreement that benefits everyone involved. It won’t be easy but with patience and compromise from all sides, anything is possible!
Conclusion
I. Summary
In this article, we explored JoJo’s struggles with her record label and the reasons why communication between them has ceased. Despite her hard work and dedication to making music, it appears that her label is not willing to support her in the way she deserves. It breaks my heart to see an artist like JoJo having so much difficulty getting their voice heard by a major label.
II. How We Can Help
As fans of JoJo and other musicians, we can show our support by buying their music directly from them instead of streaming services or third-party sources. This will ensure that they are able to make money off of their art without relying on labels for financial backing. Additionally, if you have access to any media outlets or industry contacts , consider helping spread the word about talented artists such as JoJo who deserve recognition but don’t get enough attention from major labels.
III. Final Thoughts
It’s clear that there needs to be more transparency when it comes to how major labels treat independent artists like Jojo. I hope that in the future these labels will come around and start giving the proper respect and resources needed for artists like Jojo to reach their full potential as creatives. Until then, let us continue doing whatever we can do help give voices back to those who’ve been silenced by corporate greed!
