Glad she is going to work on a new album. Her last was very underrrated. She shoulda released This Time.

It doesn't say that she is on Streamline though.
I read it as: despite the fact that he has another label he will continue working with JoJo.
The article mentions that he he already has 5 acts. If JoJo was one of those 5 why wouldn't they have just mentioned it as such.
I hope she does move, but it doesn't exactly seem that way. Wouldn't she have to fulfill her contract with Background first.

That doesn't necessarily suggest that he signed her, just that he's working with her. Unless it's impossible to separate the two - I don't really know how those relationships work. Anyway, it's a same CFY wasn't released here. That song is such a natural hit. You know, I thought about that after posting it. I'm not sure if the article is saying that he's still working with her despite starting the new label or that she's moving to the new label with him. I'm thinking that she moved with him because he's the president of Da Family and co president of Blackground, and if he signed her, I don't see why she wouldn't move with him. Also her official website has been redesigned and it's just listing Universal Music Group as her label and Blackground has been taken off. Interscope is owned by Universal Music Group. Ok, well that makes sense.

Her contract could be bought out or her label could be willing to break her contract for a certain price (and usually the retainment of her masters).

www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21604268/According to this article JoJo is not one of the 5 acts that Streamline signed. The 5 artists are listed in this article.

Whatever the situation is, I'm pretty sure she's no longer with Blackground so that's a good thing.

i know she wanted to wait for a couple of years for her voice to mature but in that time i think she should've released a lot of singles from her album and maybe done some added promotion instead of just breaking off completely

She'll be aight. At least, she's not a one-hit wonder at this point. I'm just hoping that her natural talent will be recognized, validated and respected.

i'm still hung up though because this album had sooo much potential, IMO much more than her first in the category of sales.

'The High Road' was one of my top 5 fave albums of 2006. Its such a shame it didn't live up to its full potential. But then again its her fault for releasing the horrid "How To Touch A Girl" when there were clearly more worthy/radio friendly tracks.
Hopefully she'll choose her singles wisely with this upcoming LP.

Am I the only one who thinks that releasing "Exceptional" would have saved this album? That is one gorgeous Diane Warren ballad. That song had HIT written all over it and they just let is slide. (I'm guessing Blackground didn't want to push her officially into AC territory?) Still...

Exceptional did sound good. I don't know if it would've worked on the radio in this era or musical climate, but it was a good song nevertheless.

I agree with the people who want a Jojo Christmas album. She's perfect for that sound, I think. Good idea!
