JoJo

年輕的“天才”女歌手JoJo在一群大牌制作人的點(diǎn)撥之下發(fā)行了個(gè)人的首張專輯，這從電視節(jié)目中走出的“少女天才”的音樂(lè)生涯有了一個(gè)不錯(cuò)的開(kāi)頭，她的這張同名首張專輯在北美發(fā)行首周的銷量就達(dá)到了9萬(wàn)5千張，名列Billboard 200排行榜的第四名，在單曲榜上也是成績(jī)有嘉。 　　自上世紀(jì)九十年代中期之后，世界流行樂(lè)壇進(jìn)入了低齡化偶像時(shí)代。在最近幾年，越來(lái)越年輕的偶像女明星更是層出不窮，JoJo不過(guò)是他們中的最新成員。不同于以小甜甜布蘭妮(Britney Spears)為代表的舞曲風(fēng)格偶像，也不同于Destiny's Child以及Beyonce的以R&B音樂(lè)為主的風(fēng)格，當(dāng)然更不同于艾薇兒(Avril Lavigne)和Michelle Branch等人的搖滾風(fēng)格，JoJo的作品更像是結(jié)合了流行舞曲和主流R&B音樂(lè)。
Growing up on the outskirts of Boston, MA, JoJo listened and learned as her mother practiced hymns. She started singing by imitating her mother, but quickly put her own spin on everything from nursery rhymes to pop tunes. An ad in the paper announcing open auditions for the television show Kids Say the Darndest Things: On the Road in Boston lead to the young singer wowing the audience along with the show's host, Bill Cosby, and eventually led to a phone call from Oprah Winfrey offering Jojo a spot on her show. Appearances on talk shows and gospel festivals followed, but it was her appearance on the television show America's Most Talented Kids that brought the call from producer Vincent Herbert. The former Aaliyah, Toni Braxton, and Destiny's Child producer had the young singer signed to Blackground Records and arranged sessions with famed producers like the Underdogs and Soulshock & Karlin. Her eponymous debut album followed in June 2004. Since that time, Jojo has added actress to her résumé, starring in the comedies Aquamarine and RV with Robin Williams. She released her sophomore effort, The High Road, in 2006.
