MIXTAPE是什麼?
MIXTAPE 首先是複合單字，由 MIX + TAPE組成，主要指的意思是DJ或是PRODUCER將精挑細選後的歌曲，以最順暢的歌曲排放串起來，為什麼大多說是MIXTAPE，不是MIXCD？因為最早只有TAPE的年代，DJ們將他們自己排過的歌曲組（SET）錄在TAPE裡面，然後自己發行或是到夜店給老闆試聽，爭取工作及賺錢機會
現在無論是CD還是TAPE，大家還是習慣說MIXTAPE，而MIXTAPE的種類也很多，有HIPHOP的，全部都是原曲的，或都是SCRATCH等等，然後也有歌手個人精選歌曲的MIXTAPE，或是某個製作人做的歌的MIXTAPE等.....當然這都是個人喜好去選擇
台灣一般唱片行的MIXTAPE很少，因為原本MIXTAPE這東西，是不太合法的，因為DJ使用了那麼多的歌曲，都必須要支付版費，當然他們都不太可能去負擔...所以MIXTAPE的發行大多是地下為主（無論是主流或非主流的)

JoJo - In The Dark (Video Premiere)



This is one HOTT viral video! JoJo has clearly grown into a beautiful young woman and the video directed by Nicole Ehrlich & Clarence Fuller is a perfect fit for the song. Simple yet effective. You can download and listen to her mixtape HERE.

note:

Youtube的出現，令全球網民能輕易把短片上載及傳播，令某些短片能夠急速流傳，媒體研究者稱此為「瘟疫短片（Viral Video） 」現象，這些能廣泛流傳的視頻，通常是極之破格而且能吸引注意力的。

We wish her the best of luck – let’s hope this leak isn’t indicative of her album’s fate – unreleased and then leaked on the internet would not be a great step forward, we feel…

Read more about JoJo’s label woes here. As for ‘Wrong Man For The Job’, it’s a very ‘on trend’, Tedder-esque ballad with synths and strings. You know the drill by now, right?

JoJo tweets album progress, single news
2010/1/26



JoJo has tweeted some pictures from her photo sessions for her upcoming much-troubled third album All I Want Is Everything. The divette is ready to release her new record and, as you can see, she is going for a 成熟的 mature “I’m-all-woman” look. If the tracks that leaked are any evidence, she will surely deliver great slices of soul.



JoJo ‘Wrong Man For The Job’ (New Track)
2009/8/26

Remember JoJo, 2004′s most intense and freakishly precocious 14-year-old? She had a belting voice, looked about 30 and was always banging on about some man who’d done her wrong and needed to LEAVE and GET OUT right NOW. It was all a bit weird, but she was briefly huge and then promptly vanished into label-limbo after her second album. Her wilderness years may be coming to an end though (at the grand old age of 18) as she’s announced her intentions to sue her label Da Family Entertainment and win back the right to release her third album.

note:

Belting voice：Belt是皮帶的意思，這是一種百老匯音樂劇在用的發聲法，結合頭腔與胸腔的聲音，讓聲音更亮而不犧牲咬字的方法。

R&B/pop singer JoJo rose to prominence on the television show AMERICA'S MOST TALENTED KIDS, but quickly established herself as more than a child wonder with her 2004 debut. The artist's sophomore effort, HIGH ROAD, builds on the commercial pop of her first album, fusing hip-hop-tinged beats with swirling, soulful grooves, emotive balladry, and singing that's heavy on melisma. The lead-off single, "Too Little Too Late," powered by a big radio-ready chorus, is a case in point. Top-shelf productions from hot producers like Scott Storch, Swizz Beats, and Jermaine Dupri boost the album's already considerable pedigree.

UK pressing of the 2006 sophomore album from the Teeny Boppin' superstar includes to bonus tracks: 'Do Whatcha Gotta Do' and 'I Can Take You There'. Armed with a top lineup of writers and producers, namely Swizz Beatz, Scott Storch, Diane Warren, Sean Garrett, Bo Dozier, Billy Steinberg, Josh Alexander, Ryan Leslie, and SoulShock and Karlin. The record's simple and sumptuous sonics are reminiscent of Soul and Jazz classics from back in the day. Not surprising, considering JoJo's greatest influences are artists like Aretha Franklin, George Benson, Etta James and Stevie Wonder.

Mercury.Entertainment Weekly (p.72) - "She's a vocal phenom, capable of Mariah Carey-style upper-register flourishes." -- Grade: B
Q (p.112) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[She] has an appealingly distinctive voice....'The Way You Do' is a supercharged finger-clicker..."

小小年紀身兼電視電影演員/詞曲創作/製作人/歌手等身份 任意游走於流行/節奏藍調/嘻哈/抒情等領域
小妮子青春無敵~全新專輯發行首週立即空降全美流行榜季軍
首支單曲"Too Little Too Late"衝上全美流行榜季軍

散發年輕就是本錢的青春陽光無敵魅力，身兼電視/電影演員、詞曲創作、製作人、歌手等身份，更是唱片公司力捧的旗下小公主JoJo，很難想像初出道的她才是位國中小女生，卻能駕輕就熟游走於流行、節奏藍調、嘻哈、抒情等領域，將那寬廣嗓音精準掌控在音樂節拍中，引領出新世代優質實力偶像之典範。

成長於美國麻薩諸塞州、原名Joanna Noelle Levesque的JoJo，有著愛爾蘭、波特蘭與法國血統，從小在藍調歌手身份的父親以及教堂唱詩班演唱的母親薰陶下，開始有模有樣學起唱歌。於「Kids Say the Darndest Things: On the Road in Boston」選秀活動上演唱靈魂女伶Aretha Franklin經典作"Respect"，震驚台下評審包括天才老爹Bill Cosby，就連名嘴歐普拉都在她的秀中邀請JoJo現場再次演唱。再經「America’s Most Talented Kids」兒童才藝選秀賽後，獲得名製作人Vincent Herbert (Destiny’s Child、Toni Braxton、Aaliyah)注意，穿針引線與Blackground Records簽下一紙合約。2004年首張個人專輯『JoJo』問世，登上美國流行榜Top4+節奏藍調榜Top10+英國榜Top22，締造百萬銷售紀錄，成名作"Leave (Get Out)"登上美國流行榜Top12+英國與澳洲雙料亞軍，並入圍MTV台「最佳新人」獎，第二首與長大一點點的饒舌弟弟Bow Wow合作單曲"Baby It’s You"，搶下美國流行榜Top22+英國Top8與澳洲Top16佳績。

2006年拍攝完校園青春愛情片「Aquamarine/人魚公主的愛情魔法」(首週票房No.5)以及喜劇泰斗羅賓威廉斯主演「RV休旅車」(首週票房冠軍)後，立刻投身第二張專輯【The High Road】錄製工作，發行首週立即空降全美流行榜季軍。流竄強烈街頭嘻哈音韻的"The Way You Do To Me"，是首相當搶眼的開場作；取樣經典搖滾團ToTo 1982年冠軍曲"Africa"的"Anything"，瀰漫著願為愛奉獻一切的甜蜜感應；首支衝上單曲榜季軍的"Too Little Too Late"，吉他輕彈加上節奏藍調旋律為主軸，很有"Leave (Get Out)"二部曲的味道，唱著勇敢面對無法挽回的戀情，不再沉溺對方的虛情假意；踩著絕對輕快動人聲線，順暢的流行搖滾佳作"Coming For You"，切入前後落差不同音階，感受JoJo仍怡然自得的準確拿捏；暢銷金曲製造機黛安華倫為JoJo量身訂做抒情小品"Exceptional"，處處驚見這位小妮子不凡演唱功力與情緒爆發力。

這張【同名專輯】裡JoJo除了演唱，也交出了三首創作"Keep On Keepin’ On"，"Yes or No"以及"Sunshine"。其中她最愛的單曲"Keep On Keepin’ On"特別貼近她的心聲：「當我年紀還小的時候，我們家是城裡收入最低的家庭。我媽媽和我住在只有一間臥房的破公寓，身上的錢只夠糊口，我寫這首歌是因為我知道我不是唯一過過苦日子的人」。

今年13歲的JoJo所擁有的天生好嗓音和超齡唱腔，絕對可以和Christina Aguilera、Beyonce、Brandy等實力女歌手平起平坐！專輯率先打進全美流行榜TOP4+R&B榜TOP10及英國R&B榜TOP11，開啟新人入主告示牌的先端。首發單曲"Leave (Get Out)"流暢的旋律與節奏配合吉他撥弦勾勒出年輕女孩對愛情的直率新態度，進佔英國金榜亞軍與全美流行榜TOP12；二波看俏單曲"Baby It’s You"更請到年輕Rap新秀Bow Wow於MV友情跨刀，實力加乘，成功展現JoJo成熟的唱腔以及對世界的態度。在十足自信以及單純率真之間取得完美平衡，這就是JoJo！
