JoJo and Leah LaBelle

JoJo fans have been waiting years for a new album. To thank them for their continued patience, the singer performed a mini-concert from her keyboardist’s living room and broadcast it live online via Stageit.

She gathered her musician friends including Leah LaBelle and Austin Brown and jammed with them during the 50-minute set. Viewers donated money and in exchange they were treated to past and present hits including “Leave (Get Out),” “Disaster,” and “Marvin’s Room,” which JoJo credits for changing the course of her career.

She also threw in a cover of Paula Cole’s “I Don’t Want to Wait” and dueted with her BFF Leah on John Legend’s “Ordinary People” (Part 3).

“While I’ve been in this limbo, your support has literally kept me alive,” a grateful JoJo told her fans before closing with “Too Little, Too Late.” “I can’t wait to explain everything to you. It’s gonna blow your fu**ing mind when you hear what’s going on.”
