Elle Varner and Marcus Canty revealed theirs. And now JoJo shares her top 5 albums of 2012. Fresh off the release of her mixtape Agápē, we caught up with the 22-year-old singer in Venice Beach, Calif.
While overlooking the beachfront boardwalk, a red-hot JoJo shared which albums she had on repeat this year. Find out which West Coast rapper’s lyricism excites her, why Miguel is killing it with Kaleidoscope Dream, and which pop starlet rounds out her top 5.
Look for more from our interview with JoJo in the coming week.
JoJo is a cut above the rest. So smart in how she describes her fave albums. Her words are clear & her explanations are intelligent. All around smart cookie!
Wow. She is so gyatdamn ugly like idk why she’s even trying. She’s not even relevant like seriously hew is she? Is she some kind of celebrity? Educate me plz.
@I LOOK BETTER THAN YOU HO, the name you’ve chosen for yourself explains it all. Your mom must be proud but from the looks of it, she had you at 13. Mean spirited unintelligent moron.
1. Frank Ocean, channel ORANGE
2. Miguel, Kaleidoscope Dream
3. Emeli Sande, Our Version of Events
4. Elle Varner, Perfectly Imperfect
5. Rebecca Ferguson, Heaven
@Katie Springs, okay so clearly you’re just hating b/c you can say anything you want, but “No Vocal Ability”?!!?? That discredits you immediately. You don’t have to like her tone or her voice but to say she has no vocal ability is just laughable. NEXT

@Katie Springs, Shay hit it right on the money. Her voice is nothing but angelic. Oh yeah as for you Katie, have you ever listened to ANY of her music, because either your are tone deaf or you have no background information to make you claim valid, even though no such information even exists because she has an amazing voice. Also what makes you think she is a whore?? because red lips suggests temptress like qualities?? She is not like any other artists who sell themselves to the record companies so that they can be half naked in music videos and make records about sex and partying.
Good day to you
She is so well spoken. Her parents should be proud because she is well beyond her years. Anyway, good choices and I’m happy she mentioned Robert Glasper because I feel like a lot of people who visit this site and other hip-hop blogs might not know who he is. He’s a great artist.
@TRP, That deal her parents signed you mean. SMh. I wonder if Aaliyah was alive would her career be as mismanaged. I mean even tho it is Aaliyah’s uncles label it’s kinda clear they have poor money management/artist development skills.

If only Blackground would release JoJo, another label who deserves to have her talent on their roster could put out some good solid material. SMH
