Coco Jones, the GRAMMY-winning singer known for her smooth vocals and engaging performances, has officially announced the release of her debut album, titled Why Not More?, slated to hit streaming platforms on April 25, 2025. The anticipation surrounding her debut is palpable, particularly following the success of her earlier works, including the hit single "Here We Go (Uh Oh)."
To give fans a preview of what's to come, Jones has released her new single, "Taste." This mid-tempo track is infused with the signature R&B vibes of the early 2000s and creatively samples Britney Spears' iconic 2003 anthem, "Toxic." Produced by Stargate and Jasper Harris, the single showcases Jones at her most sultry, drawing listeners in with its smooth production and vividly intimate lyrics.
Within the track, Jones sings, "Got me where I'd never be / Way you kiss my lips and leave a legacy / Oh, to live without you, what a tragedy." These lines reflect the deep romantic drive and energy she has expertly captured, highlighting her evolution as both a vocalist and artist. The release of "Taste" is accompanied by a visually captivating music video, which presents Jones in stunning, form-fitting outfits, paying homage to pop icons like Spears, Normani, and Tinashe as she dances enticingly to the beat.
Notably, "Taste" is not just another single; it is the third release leading up to her eagerly awaited album. Earlier this year, Jones garnered attention with "Here We Go (Uh Oh)," which showcased her ability to blend contemporary themes with classic R&B sensibilities. The track has already made waves, spending seven nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Adult R&B Airplay chart, signaling her imminent rise within the music industry.
Reflecting on her creative process, Jones stated, "I felt like a scientist whose one experiment did really well, and it’s like, ‘Oh damn, okay.’ Now I’m getting all mad creative, just trying a bunch of different things because I’m like, ‘That was good. Let’s see what else I can do.’" This statement exemplifies her determination to push the boundaries of her artistry, indicating her willingness to explore new genres and styles—a sentiment she builds upon throughout her new album.
Following her debut EP, What I Didn’t Tell You, Jones is eager to present her growth through Why Not More?. The album promises to include not only the hit singles but also collaborations with notable artists, including "Most Beautiful Design" featuring Future. Such features are likely to widen her appeal and showcase her versatility.
Fans can look forward to seeing Jones live at the Jazz in the Gardens Music Festival, taking place shortly after the album release. The event is set to be headlined by legendary R&B acts like New Edition and Toni Braxton, and will include performances from various artists, including Xscape and Dru Hill.
With her new single "Taste" hitting the airwaves and the debut album impending, Coco Jones is poised to leave her mark on the R&B scene. Eager listeners are encouraged to stream the new track and keep their eyes peeled for the album preorder availability. With creativity flowing and the spotlight finally shining on her, Coco Jones is ready for her moment.
