I have a really great feeling about the movement of this project. I'm always on her side to the death.

A guy I know went to one of the listening parties and this is what he said: I'm always hesitant to get too excited about listening party descriptions because they're usually populated by superfans, but if that description is accurate, then I am STOKED. I'm sooo here for moody, forward thinking R&B from JoJo. "Demonstrate" was perfect for her. Like first and foremost I was hoping for a Tinashe/Jhene Aiko type record with more explosive pop hooks.

That sounds perfect for her voice. And "Demonstrate" is an incredible track to this day.

I was hoping she would come back with maybe something like Nick Jonas' "Jealous" - something soulful, catchy and universal with a pop sheen over it.

A house/pop comeback more than a decade after smashing with two singles? She sounds like this decade's Robyn ;) hopefully with even more mainstream success! I really like what I'm hearing about the songs so far. Three singles ! Don't forget the jam, baby it's you !

The leaked Say Love sounds like a demo, or maybe someone recorded the live performance?

They're all unfinished versions. The final versions should be leaked soon.

Say Love is definitely a demo. Not sure about When Love Hurts or Save My Soul but we will see tomorrow. Also lol at that Say Love video, that picture though, he/she couldn't put a picture up of what she looks like now or at least the tringle cover?

Here's the Spotify link:
At first it was available in the US, now it's not because it technically wasn't supposed to be released until tomorrow. But I think it's available outside of the US now.

When Love Hurts is quite good on first listen! Would love to see her have success again on the radio!

Thank you! "When Love Hurts" is sweeeeet! The melody is instantly memorable, the post chorus brings the catchiness home, and that tropical house breakdown... fuck yes! This sounds like a big hit to me so radio better not play dirty with her. I was skeptical for Jojo to come back with "dancepop" but this is really good. Should have trusted all along!

I feel like if David Guetta, Zedd or Calvin Harris were featured on When Love Hurts, it would be a certified hit.

This is good. I was afraid it would sound dated, but it doesn't.

I don't care about them at all i'm just saying that if they were featured it would be easier for her to get a decent hit with it, the radio stations would definitely play it more.

"When Love Hurts" is fantastic. She sounds wonderful and I love the production. This needs to become a hit.
I love "Save My Soul" also. I'm indifferent to "Say Love" at the moment, though.

I have mixed feelings about this song.
The positive:
01. The hook is insanely catchy. 02. She sounds great. 03. It seems to be getting a positive reaction, so that's good.
The negative:
01. It's very generic. 02. It's not what I wanted her to come back with. 03. I know it's not meant to be taken literally, but I'm not sure if "When love hurts, that's when you know it's real" is a good message to be putting out there.
