Mad Love (stylized as Mad Love.)' is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter JoJo. The album was released oeleased on October 14, 2016, through Atlantic Records.[4] Incorporating a base core of R&B, pop and soul music, JoJo wanted the album to take fans through a journey from beginning to end while not only being for her but relatable to all the fans who stuck by her though her years in limbo and really be the "soundtrack to peoples lives". It serves as her first major official release in decade following 2006 The High Road. A deluxe edition of the album featuring 4 bonus tracks, was released simultaneously alongside the eleven-track standard edition. JoJo co-wrote every song on the album while also vocal producing every song.

JoJo called upon the likes of Josh "Igloo" Monroy, Jussifer,

adult contemporary and soul music
.

Mad Love. will be promoted with live renditions of the album's songs during

UK R&B Singles Chart. "Mad Love.", "FAB." featuring Remy Ma
and "Music." all served as promotional singles leading up to the albums release.

Upon its release, the album received generally favourable reviews from music critics, some noting that the album became JoJo's "bold coming-of-age statement" that helped cement her maturity and vocal growth since her previous album. Mad Love. debuted on the US Billboard 200, Current Albums & Top Digital Albums chart at number 6, number 4 and number 2 respectively with 25,000 album-equivalent units, of which 19,000 were traditional album sales. A vinyl LP edition of the album was made available on February 3, 2017.

Background

Following the release of "Anything"—the final single from her second studio album The High Road—in late 2007, JoJo stated that she had been writing and working with producers for her third studio album, but would not go into the studio until early 2008.[5] The album has spent a long time on hiatus, which was accompanied with a leak of many of its tracks. As of August 2011, thirty tracks leaked, well over an album's worth of material.

The album was preceded by the extended play III (pronounced "tringle"), which was released on August 21, 2015.[6][7] Following its release JoJo embarked on her second worldwide headlining "I Am JoJo Tour". Which saw her visit 23 cities nationwide with several international dates in Europe. Initially the tour and Tringle's release was a reintroduction for JoJo into the industry with a major label backing that had been lacking from her previous label. During this time a large portion of the album had already been recorded. The "Tringle" was originally set to appear on JoJo's third album as the first 3 singles from the album that would each receive service to top 40 radio at different stages leading up to the impending albums release. Subsequently, during the tour, Levesque's father Joel had passed away in November 2015 due to struggles with addiction and had also broken up with her boyfriend of two years.

Following the tours conclusion in December 2015, Levesque took a 6-day rest from work during the first week of January, where JoJo booked a hotel and spent time with herself and re-evaluated her life. As a result, JoJo was unhappy with the approach the album was taking and decided to "take control" and begun re-recording and re-writing the entire album to fit her new feelings and emotions. This resulted in the Tringle becoming its own stand-alone project with majority of the albums re-recordings taking place over a six month period at the top of 2016, with only a few tracks from earlier Tringle recording sessions making it onto the final album. These two tracks would be "I Am." and "Good Thing.". From September 9 to September 15, 2016, JoJo uploaded short videos of her singing each song from the album on her Instagram account, revealing the track listing of the album.[8] A vinyl LP edition of the album was made available through JoJo's official web-store on February 3, 2017.

Recording and composition

Mad Love. was inspired by JoJo's life experiences over the last couple of years including issues with her previous label, her relationship and her personal growth continuing "my mom just got married, my brother had a baby, he got married — just huge milestones have been happening so I've been really inspired by all of that".[9] Sparks cites soul legends Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Boyz II Men and Babyface for their influence on her sound.[10]

Hayley Warner was one of the most consistent songwriters on the album co-writing a total of six songs on the album including "I Can Only." and "FAB."

Music and lyrics

Talk a Good Game was inspired by R&B artists New Edition, Pebbles, and Babyface, Rowland spoke on the album's musical direction saying “[It] feels like everything I wanted to make as far as music and R&B, I wanted to make sure my roots were really pronounced on this album.”[11] Rowland cited Whitney Houston, Marvin Gaye, and Stevie Wonder as the album's inspirations.[12]

"Freak" was first recorded by American entertainer Jamie Foxx, on his album Best Night of My Life (2010).

The album opens with "Freak", an

adult contemporary-influenced "Gone", which features American rapper Wiz Khalifa.[17] Harmony Samuels produced the "base-heavy" and radio friendly "snapping" beat which features a prominent sample of "Big Yellow Taxi", a 1970s single by American singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell.[13] It lyrically speaks about a "man who played with her heart" and how "she’s done putting up with his games".[18] Lyrics from Rowland include "There's a million ways that I could tell you / But I think I would rather show you that it's over / And I won't be back no more", whilst Khalifa raps "I been here before / And you know Kelly never lied / So you can get your stuff / And get to going / I'll get back to getting high".[19]

The album is named after track four, "Talk a Good Game" which features

rap gave the song a "street edge".[14] It takes the listener on an emotional journey according to The Honesty Hour.[13] The next song, "Down on Love", is a midtempo production featuring another classic sample, this time the 1987 song "Rock Steady" by American R&B group The Whispers.[13] Using her mezzo-soprano vocals, Rowland takes on a downtrodden romantic situation, "We want two different things at two different times / You know how the story go / Easy come easy go".[14] "Dirty Laundry" was co-written by Rowland, Carlos McKinney and The Dream, and is R&B "confessional" ballad, containing "R&B jam spools" and a piano-led melody.[20][21] It details a "frank and often poignant commentary" on Rowland's life.[22] The song is a "brutal" chronicle of the last ten years of Rowland's life, covering her envy of Beyoncé's solo success and the end of an abusive relationship. Amongst the lyrics, Rowland sings "Kinda lucky I was in her shadow / Phone call from my sister what’s the matter / She said, 'Oh no / You gotta leave' / I’m on the kitchen floor / He took the keys."[14]

Beyoncé is envied by Rowland on "Dirty Laundry", before joining Rowland and Michelle Williams on "You've Changed".

This moves onto another track called "You've Changed" that features her ex bandmates Beyoncé and

synths and a soaring chorus, in a vintage throwback.[14] It was compared to songs by Brandy Norwood.[13] The pace continues on the romantic "This is Love" which focuses on a guy that "got [Rowland] goin’ on cloud 9".[14] Over the light production, Rowland sings "I’m waiting and anticipating for you to give it to me / Boy I’m trying to hold it inside / Heart racing, my body shaking / ‘Cause when you give it to me, boy you are the truth, I can’t lie." According to the Honesty Hour, "This is Love" had crossover appear for both R&B and pop radio.[13]

"Street Life" sees Rowland opt for a "no

Huffington Post described "Street Life" as a departure from Rowland's previous "softer sound".[27] The standard edition of the album finishes with "Stand in Front of Me", a 50's doo-wop inspired "ode to love". The simple production and lyrics include the lines "You just do it / Mean it / Prove it"; Hampp of Billboard said you can expect to hear the song at weddings.[14]

Record label conflict & Label Change

Near the end of 2008, it was rumored that JoJo had parted ways with Da Family Entertainment and

US$500,000 for her troubles.[29] JoJo won the case, and in October 2009 Blackground Records reached a distribution deal with Interscope Records.[30] When speaking of the lable issues JoJo says

It was very frustrating. For a while I felt like, why am I continuing to go into the studio constantly if it's never going to be released? It was a very frustrating, stagnant place. I got discouraged at some points, but I just kept believing in what we kept trying to make happen and what I've been working my whole life towards. I was able to release music less through less nontraditional means, but I had to find a way to stay creative and express myself in spite of the legalities.[31]

In late 2012 Blackground Records had failed to release JoJo's third album and lost its distribution deal with Interscope Records, putting JoJo in limbo unable to release any music at all as they controlled the money, promotion and masters of any recorded material.[32] in an interview with Buzzfeed speaking on the albums delay JoJo stated “I’ve recorded about three incarnations of this third album... We’ve chosen the track listing, we’ve done multiple album photo shoots, chosen the cover, chosen the credits, everything.” however every time her team tried to present the album to her label, they never received a response.[33][34]

On July 30, 2013 New York Daily News reported that JoJo filed a lawsuit against Da Family Records and Blackground Records claiming that under New York State law, minors cannot sign contracts that last more than seven years.[35] JoJo and her parents signed the contract in 2004 when she was 12. She argues that her contract was up in March 2011.[36][37][38] JoJo additionally claims the label failed to release her third album despite delivery and acceptance of many master recordings; and that they were not able to retain their distribution agreement, which was a requirement of the recording contract.[39][40][41] JoJo only released two of seven albums she signed to due to the label’s dire finances. However, instead of freeing JoJo and allowing her to sign with another label with more resources, Blackground wanted to keep her under contract from signing with another label and making commercial success.[42]

In mid December 2013 the lawsuit reached its conclusion with JoJo and Blackground settling outside of court with JoJo signing her new contract the following day. The agreement states that with JoJo being released from her contract background would own all the master copies of all recordings JoJo submitted while still under contract in exchange JoJo would be released from her contract.[43] On January 14, 2014, the Los Angeles Times exclusively reported that JoJo had officially signed a new recording contract with Atlantic Records thus ending her exhaustive muilti-year battle with Blackground Records and its imprint Da Family Entertainment.[44][45][46]

Concept and title changes

In mid-2008, JoJo revealed that the album, titled All I Want Is Everything, was scheduled for a fourth quarter release that year, to coincide with her eighteenth birthday in December. The title was taken from the self-penned title track, which sums up her feelings about what she wants in life and how she can go about getting it as being an "inspirational anthem for everyone who has struggled and strives for more".

Can't Take That Away From Me which was released on September 7, 2010 exclusively to Rap-Up.com.[48]

In December 2010, it was announced that the album was no longer titled All I Want Is Everything[49] On February 28, 2011, JoJo revealed the new title in a viral video. She said, "My third album will be called Jumping Trains and it's very symbolic for a variety of reasons... Moving from Boston to L.A., transitioning from being a girl to being a young woman, living on my own, taking a different direction sonically, and just really finding myself and just jumping into a new chapter of life."[50] Following the albums continuous delay with her label Blackground Records JoJo filed a lawsuit against the label to get out of her contract and eventually signed with Atlantic Records, subsequently shelving all previous recorded material resulting in the album being written and recorded from scratch under Atlantic since February 2014.

During an interview with BBC Radio 1 in August 2016 JoJo was hush about announcing any details but stated that the album's title was two words first beginning with "M" and second beginning with "L".[51] In a follow-up interview On March 28, 2016 with Malcolm Music during her "I Am JoJo Tour" in Europe JoJo spoke on a new song from album titled "Mad Love" calling it one of her "favorite songs" on the album suspecting fans to believe that was the albums title.[52] On July 28, 2016 it was officially announced that JoJo's third album would in fact be titled "Mad Love", speaking on the meaning behind the albums title JoJo stated: "Mad Love. means so many different things, and I loved that about the title. It was one of the first songs that I wrote for this album, and I felt like it kind of shaped the intention of it, of this work. And, a phrase that I use in my family a lot, we say, 'I love you madly.' That's that 'I love you through it all, I love you as you are, I love you in a crazy way, in a deep way, in a way that other people might not understand.' And that's how I feel about music, and that's what my relationship is with my fans, and it's an intense, passionate love. That's also the love that I like to have in my romantic life. So, all of that is represented on this album."[53]

Artwork

On September 7, 2016 just over a month away from the albums release, JoJo revealed the album artwork via her social media accounts and announced the album would be available for pre-order on September 16, 2016.[54] Unlike JoJo's previous albums which both included a deluxe edition album with separate or modified artwork, a standard edition of the album artwork had been serviced to all markets. JoJo appears on the cover, "looking fierce as ever" while the rest of the artwork is otherwise blurred by paint smears and blots of pink, green, and white hues with the album art direction and design created by Nick Malvone.[55] In early 2016 JoJo shot the album packaging photoshoot with LA based photographer Brooke Nipar.[56] Photos from the shoot and a series of promotional/press photos were Gradually released online. While others were released with the revamping of JoJo's official website.

During her album photoshoot JoJo released A picture through her Twitter account which shows her wearing a slim fitting black dress with white lace over it and a red skirt, she was also seen wearing a pair of Dr. Dre Beat headphones with her arm bent forward looking into the distance. The shoot included various scenes including JoJo pinned up against a grey wall which shows her rocking a zippered leather jacket, skeleton cutout tee, and gray jeans, with her jet black hair cascading over her shoulders.[57] Another set included her posing in a hallway in a white top and black shorts as well as posing on a staircase. One of these shots were used for the single cover for "Disaster".
